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.

An awful physician
He doe not care about patients. This is my third time visiting him. I discussed my pain and he said he did not want to discuss it.

Wonderful doctor
Dr. Faruqi was patient and kind, but most importantly he believed me when I told him something was wrong. . . even after several tests came back negative. He kept trying to figure out my problem and with time I got a diagnosis, the proper meds and life has been wonderful. Thank you, Dr. Faruqi. I'm finally able to enjoy life.

Not your friendly gastroenterologist
Terrible listener; a nightmare of a doctor’s consultation. He would not allow me to talk; to express my concerns. He was very rude and would talk over me. In a heartbeat, I changed to another doctor on the same week.

Very Rude
We were referred to Dr. Faruqi for my husband’s colonoscopy. The office experience was horrendous. This doctor responded to us very rudely and we couldn’t finish asking a question and he interrupted with his arrogant answer. Does not care about the patients and seems to look down on the patient. Even though we scheduled my husband’s colonoscopy that day after we went home and realized how uncomfortable we had felt and been treated at that visit, we decided to go the next day to his office and cancel the procedure and search for another doctor.

Arrogant and unavailable
Dr Faruqi came highly recommended by my GP. However, Dr. Faruqi was arrogant and talked down to me. He prescribed a medication that was going to cost me $2000. I called his office 4 times in one week to ask for samples or a different medication, but nobody answered my calls, so I left messages. Still, nobody called me back. But when I called his office online through Maps, they answer my phone every time, and the phone number in my phone and the phone number online are the same number. When in his office I tried to answer Dr Faruqi's questions, but he would cut me off with another question or a statement. He does not know how to treat his patients nor how to communicate with them. I found another gastro doc and cancelled all appointments with Dr. Faruqi.

Friendly, easy to talk to, seems to be a great Dr
I had a colonoscopy with biopsy. Dr Faruqi assured me that all went well and he expected nothing scary from the biopsy, he was right. The whole process went as smoothly as possible. I feel comfortable asking him questions, he is friendly.

THE MOST RUDE,OBNOXIOUS, UNSYMPATHETIC PERSON!!!
I was referred to Faruqi. He told me " I don't know why you're here, you need to see a surgeon." I was REFERRED TO YOU, that's why I am here. He proceeded to be rude. That was my second visit, he was not any better at the first, and I reminded him of that. WILL NEVER VISIT AGAIN OR REFER HIM. HORRIBLE ATTITUDE!
