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.

Contradicting
He diagnosed me as having OAS. Which come to find out from personal research I fall into the normal category. I was having 3 or less incidents a night initially. At my last visit it was 3 per week. At Which point he told me I could stop with the treatment. Since then I moved and needed the OAS records for a career shift. Now he states I have OAS and need therapy. I wouldn't have stopped therapy had he told me otherwise. Not to mention suddenly his 'records' have changed.

Dr. Farooq is very competent, thorough, listens, and provides full explanations. He goes out of his way to answer any questions I've ever had. I have the utmost confidence in his expertise, and he is always professional and friendly. Probably the best doctor I've ever had. I have been seeing him for about 3-1/2 years now.

Love Dr Farooq! I hate going to the Dr's, my pcp can barely get me in for yearly checkups, but when I became sick, Dr Farooq was fantastic. He is very easy to talk with, he makes sure you understand everything he is going over with you and speaks with you, not at you or down to you. You can tell by the way he interacts with his staff that he treats everyone with respect and in turn is respected by them.

I friend of mine is a Cardiologist, who I trust, and he recommended Dr Farooq. Dr Farooq has a very friendly demeanor right off the bat, he listened to my complaint and allowed me to fully finish my explanation, and he clearly explained his thoughts and the plan of action in a very logical way that inferred sound judgement. Plainly put this guy is good, and shows no signs of arrogance or condescension.
