Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

if you or your loved one are diabetic and you’re going to trust this doctor to do a major surgery please make sure that the CT scans the MRI and the bloodwork that has to be completed before the surgery is it cleared and thoroughly looked over because my mom has diabetes that was out of control and her MRI. Her CT scan and her bloodwork should’ve showed that she was not fit for the surgery. my mom is now sitting in Tacoma and physical rehabilitation hospital because she suffered a major stroke in the right side of her brain because of a blood clot in the back of her neck she cannot walk right now. She cannot use the left side of her body. And looking over the paperwork that Doctor Farrohki and his assistant submitted stated my mom’s diabetes was under control. They ran no test at the Virginia Mason before she had her surgery. she had surgery two weeks ago and she is still unable to walk mom recently had back surgery at the Seattle, Virginia Mason the neurologist who performed her surgery was dr Farrokhi. if you care about your loved one, please make sure that they screen your loved one before they even do any type of surgery or any type of procedure. My mom was supposed to be able to have her back. She can’t walk now she can’t even see out of her left parifial

As mentioned, Dr. Farrokhi was patient, explained conditions and procedures thoroughly, was responsive to my questions, and, when the unexpected occurred, was quick to apologize and take charge. I appreciated his professionalism and obvious care. He commands the respect of all his staff.
