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. Farnworth and his staff are wonderful! Each of them are kind and understanding. They made my visits professional yet personal making sure I received the best treatment with different options. I do need knee replacement, but there was no pressure to get it done right away. He explained everything in detail.

Great doctor!
Dr. Farnworth could not have been friendlier or more helpful. He explained my knee condition thoroughly and removed 95% of the pain with a single, painless, cortisone injection. He took a very comprehensive history in which he showed a genuine interest in me as a person as well as a patient. I recommend him without reservation!

Dr. Farnworth is a truly amazing doctor. He is very knowledgeable and compassionate. He also has an excellent staff with the same compassion for their patients. I had total hip replacement in February 2019 and I feel great. I have my life back. Thanks Dr. Farnworth.

I had surgery for a torn meniscus, and that all went well. It did not fix the problem I came in with however. The physical therapist found that my fibula was popping out, and that was the cause of my pain. It only happens in a certain position. Dr Farnworth asked me to show him which I could not bring myself to do because it hurts a lot. I guard my knee so it doesn't happen. He told me it was impossible for my fibula to pop out and that he didn't believe me. I was flabbergasted by that because it sure does pop out and hurt. Too bad. I won't go back. I like the office staff and assistant but felt arrogance from the dr.

This Doc is just amazing in that I have had four surgical repairs for my arthritis damaged joints and have had very very little pain during recovery and a positive outcome from them all !! He has compassion for his patients and a great bedside manner. The last procedure got a bit complicated, but he was great at explaining the situation and helping me overcome my obstacles. I am so glad I have a wonderful Doc to help me in my struggle with arthritis.

I had a torn ACL,broken tubular plato and went to Dr. Farnwoth to have it looked at. He then gave me the option to have surgery or not depending on my life style and also told me to go get a second and even a third opinion for other Dr's. Which I though was good to hear. So I went through with the surgery since I climb and snowboard a lot. Two months after surgery I climbed the west Spanish peak, and four months after I did the creatone traverse with no issues my knee felt great!

I am very impressed with Dr. Farnworth's checking specific consultations with me. He spent time explaining the way the surgery would go before and how things were done during the surgery and after the surgery when I was still having trouble with my knees he spent time to diagnose what was happening and came up with solutions to the pain without just handing me pain pills. I think Dr. Farnworth has a welcoming personality and treats his patients with respect and great care.
