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.

Great Doctor
Dr. Farhi is very knowledgeable and compassionate. She listens to my concerns and answers all my questions in a manner that I can understand. She shows interest in me as a person and takes the necessary time addressing all my concerns. I never feel rushed. Her assistants and staff are very courteous and helpful. I have been seen by her for the past three years and will never go to anyone else. She is a great doctor.

Very satisfied
Dr. Farhi successfully removed and replaced lenses in both my eyes. She is very professional and caring. I'd highly recommend her. Only drawback is the wait time in the office, which can be long.

excellent job
Dr. Farhi is an excellent doctor! I was blind in my right eye. I had cataract surgery on both eyes. She was very thorough and took time to explain the procedures to me. Thanks to her expertise, I am doing great and can see now! Her staff was very professional and helpful too. The surgery was at NRV Carilion outpatient center and they were amazing! Thank you Dr. Farhi for giving me my sight back!! I highly recommend her. She's the best!

Top Notch Eye Care
Dr. Farhi is incredible! She is kind and compassionate and has excellent communication skills. I respect the fact that Dr. Farhi is so knowledgeable and makes sure I understand my diagnosis and treatment plan. I always feel my concerns are heard and she takes her time with appointments. Dr. Farhi is very thorough and patient focused. Her staff is friendly, professional and well informed. I would recommend Dr. Farhi and staff to family, friends and to anyone who needs the excellent eye care that she and her staff provides.

Caring and skilled eye surgeon
Dr. Farhi is skilled, knowledgeable and cares about her patients. I trust her to help me make the right decisions when it comes to taking care of my eyes. I would certainly recommend her to others who may have concerns about their optic health especially as they age or have genetic conditions like Narrow Angles (which as she explained to me is the #1 cause of preventable blindness in the world). Please ask your ophthalmologist to check for Narrow Angles during your check ups and if you do have that condition, contact Dr. Farhi's office sooner rather than later so she can help you resolve this issue, like she did in my case.

Competent Organization
She has been treating me for many years for Glaucoma. I have not noticed any decline in my vision since I began treatment so I conclude that her treatment has been effective. I appreciate that she explains the purpose of her treatments and keeps me informed of the result and meaning of the testing she uses to monitor my condition and to make adjustments to my treatment.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I have been a patient of Dr Farhi for over eight years. She has performed surgery on both eyes for cataract removal and follows me closely for glaucoma. I am comforted by her knowledge and expertise and appreciate the time she takes with me and in answering my questions. She has the warmest bedside manner and is so very kind. I will continue to trust my sight to Dr Farhi.

Dr Farhi has been wonderful.
Dr Farhi was amazing from my very first visit. She took the time to explain things and was very caring. I have been seeing her for 3 years , she has done Narrow Angle and caterac surgery on both my eyes and it was painless with amazing results. She continues to care about my sight and future with my eyes. I would travel to see her if need be anywhere. All the staff members are awesome .

Professional, friendly, and on time
Dr. Farhi makes excellent use of medical technicians to maintain efficiency in her office. My appointment time was respected, and my 'face time' with the doctor was both pleasant and informative. She was more than willing to answer questions and explain what she was doing during the exam (I'm an optical engineer). She is especially attentive to concerns about the spread of COVID. She has excellent 'chair-side'manner; I never felt that she was in a hurry to move on to the next patient. The entire visit was a study in professionalism and efficiency.

Kind, Knowledgeable and Compassionate
I am extremely grateful to Dr. Farhi and her staff. I recently had cataract surgery and for the first time in over 40 years, I no longer have to wear glasses. While other doctors could have performed the procedure, Dr. Farhi added a level of comfort to the entire experience. I trust her completely with my vision.

She is a very friendly and caring doctor and she takes her time with you. During my office visits she made me feel at ease and explained things to me that made it easy for me to understand. Her office staff is also very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Farhi to anyone needing eye care.
