The visit went well from end-end. Dr. Kristy was very friendly and provided her best recommendations. Will definitely come back here if needed.
Excellent bedside manners. She was very attentive and really heard me out about my back pain and walked me through the process and what would be the best course of action. Overall this was an amazing experience.

Verified patient
Personally felt like Dr. Farris didn't care to answer any of my questions or address my concerns about my diagnosis. She essentially came in, barely said a few words, did a few physical exam maneuvers, recommended further imaging, said I might need surgery, and started for the door.
Verified patient
I went to this doctor as she was the only available doctor during the time and I walked out of the appointment with mixed feelings as to whether the doctor is knowledgeable in spine related injuries or not. I wouldn’t come back to this doctor if it’s related to sciatica it’s spine related injuries.
Overall quite happy. Let's see if it works.

She and her staff are very kind and professional. She explained in further detail the extent of the injury, because the hospital I originally went to was a bit careless. She worked her schedule around for the next morning to fit in the surgery which was urgently required. Glad to have found her!

reviewed the surgery and what to do afterward.
Kristy was great! After thoroughly examining me she advised that I get an x-ray where I was able to walk across the street and get one within an hour. She then reviewed the film and advised a step by step process that would help with my injury. I appreciated the fact that she recommended several things that I could do starting with the least invasive approach. The consultation visit was very informative.
