“We switched to her about two years ago after having a pediatrician who lacked empathy and bedside manner. The difference has been night and day. Dr. Farooqui is empathetic and considerate of both our time and our concerns. She listens, explains things clearly, and truly makes us feel like our children’s care is a priority. We never feel rushed or dismissed, and that means a lot as a parent.”

“Doctor was very nice and gave a lot of information about the shots my son had to get before he took them, that was appreciated because I’m a first time dad.”
