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.

My experience was terrible. The cortisone injection was placed in the wrong place (after I explained where it should go, and after research confirmed). I have ongoing issues to this that I did not have prior to this injection. I would would not recommend this physician to anyone.

Great doctor! He takes the time to explain EVERYTHING and if you have any questions he explains it in a way that the patient understands. You leave feeling at ease and peace that he saw you as a patient and not a paycheck, which unfortunately many doctors do nowadays!

Absolutely. I am so glad I was referred to him. I see by an Urgent care person on a Friday and Dr. Farber saw me on Monday. He explained all the risks and benefits of the surgery. Two surgeries later I am very happy with the experience and positive healing. I would recommend Dr. Farber to a family member and friends.
