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.

Dr Farrington always has time to listen about my health needs.

Been going to this facility for years. They offer everything you could possibly want. Professional, kind, listen to your concerns, prompt visits,. The staff is excellent. This doctor truly cares! I came to him for that reason and, as a senior citizen now, I was never disappointed.

I have recommended family here. I like the care I receive. He listens to my concerns and he really seems to care. I have been a patient since he opened his practice.

He doesn't care about his patients and I'm assuming we aren't worth his time. Left messages for days with both his staff and answering service and he never called back. I've stopped thinking that he will ever return my calls. I've never felt so neglected and insignificant to a health care provider before. I already started looking for a new doctor.

Dr. Farrington is a rare find! He actually LISTENS to you and your specific concerns. After all,who knows your body better than you? I am never rushed. I never feel like a number. He diagnosed my youngest son's Lyme Disease after 2 other physician's failed to even test him. He gets our family's seal of approval!
