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.

Horrific Dr
I have afib which can be easily found out if Dr. Farbman CARED TO READ my chart. During fake covid I came in with a faceshield as I have trouble breathing with a mask. Dr. Farbman forced me to put a mask on even though I told him my daughter had bought me the faceshield so that I could continue to breathe normally. As soon as I put on the mask I got light headed (because like I had told him, I can't breathe with a mask on) I feel like I'm falling and my knees buckle - What did Dr. Farbman do? He reached for the door instead of grabbing me! Luckily I balanced myself quickly by grabbing the chair. Office asked me TWICE about getting a fake covid shot and twice I told them no. Here is the Math for USA and fake covid. 330 Million people at 99.8% survival. 330,000,000 multiply by 0.02 is 1 in 660,000 will dieTo put this into perspective how miniscule this number is: odds dying by Lightning or Meteor 1 in 250,000. This Dr. doesn't know Basic MATH or out to make a quick Buck!

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Farbman is truly an outstanding doctor. I’ve never met a doctor who cares more for his/her patients. He’s extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and transparent. He takes his time with patients and makes it clear, both from his actions and words, that he’s fully invested in your success. He’s clearly very well studied and keeps up to date with current medical news related to the conditions he’s treating, always making sure to apply the best and most current standard of care to his patients. On a more personal note, I’m so appreciative of everything Dr. Farbman has done to help me with my condition. I’ve never been in better shape, or better hands; I’m not sure where I would be today if I had never been referred to him. If you’re looking for a rheumatologist in South Florida, there’s nobody better to see, and that’s a fact.

Amazing doctor! He is always available, compassionate, listens, understands my issues and very friendly. His entire team and in particular his nurse (Rubina) are simply wonderful and very helpful, going over and above the call of duty.

Terrible MD Live experience. Apparently no other health conditions exist except COVID nowadays. Dr Farbman would not even listen to my husband’s health history, but proclaimed it must be COVID. We advocated for the truth because we know his health history, but Dr. Farbman (who know NOTHING of my husband’s health history) stated he disagreed with us. He was rude, and I am disgusted.

Would give zero stars if I could. He was my MDLive Dr today. SO RUDE! Wouldn't help at all, asked "What did I suggest!?" I suggest he, the doctor, do his job. Wasted my money on an appointment and got no resolution. Was able to see my PCP just now, was prescribed the needed antibiotics. No thanks to Dr. Farbman.

Called via MD Live because I have strep. He yawned during the call which was very unprofessional and acted like he didn't want to hear what I had to say. Telling me it was viral and it is actually strep and bacterial. Went to urgent care and was diagnosed properly and given an antibiotic. Why is a rheumatologist talking to patients with strep that cannot diagnose properly????

I have been seeing Dr. Farbman about a year now after being under the care of 2 different rheumatologists who did nothing for me. First off, he is so personable, down to earth, funny as heck, warm and caring. He does not rush you. He listened to all my complaints and we talked about a plan of action. I find him highly versed in the latest technology and medications for arthritis. I have been in Florida for 46 years and have never had a doctor quite like him. Excellent does not even come close to what kind of doctor he is. His nurse, Ruby, is also warm and caring. They are both very thorough, nothing gets past either of them. I actually look forward to going to see them. I highly recommend Dr. Farbman. You will not be sorry.

Thank goodness for Dr. Farbman. He has helped me so much and helped keep my lupus at bay. When I would have a flare up, he treated it effectively and my recovery process didn’t seem so long or painful. He really cares and listens as well which now days most Drs. do not. Calling to make and appointment or waiting for a call back is also very easy. I highly recommend Dr. Farbman.

He takes time to evacuate your condition and works to start designing a program that will give the patient the best solution. One of the best physicians we have found in South Florida and we have been here for over 34 years.

Dr. Farbman is a highly professional and ethical practitioner. His entire goal and focus is the utmost care and well being of his patience. He encourages the input of those he treats and is constantly researching more effective interventions for to minimize the difficulties of daily living with diseases of the joints and the resulting inflammation. His demeanor is that of a compassionate and caring doctor and this attitude is also reflected in his office staff. Nancy Teitz

I had some serious muscle and joint pain recently, and went to see Dr Farbman. He diagnosed me in about 10 seconds with PMR-- polymyalgia rheumatica. I had never heard of it but at least I had a diagnosis. So he put me on Appropriate medication and magically I am better. I like this guy, he's competent, smart, educated and personable. He's the goods.

I have be seen Dr. Farbman over a year, after I switched from my previous doctor. For the first time I felt secure, cared for not only as a patient but a human being, he takes the time to call you in person to make sure you are ok or to answer any questions you previously left with Mrs. Rubina (she is very sweet person). None of my others doctors ever called me. I hope we have more doctors like him out there. I already recommended him to my friends.
