My experience today was great in all aspects. One thing I'd change is when setting up an appointment for a yearly examination, I'd like an option to also make an appointment to get my blood drawn. That way, my primary physician can go over the results while I'm there. I tried to make an appointment to get my blood drawn before seeing Dr Farooqi, but there was nowhere on the Baycare site to do it, and I couldn't get through to the office to talk to someone. That would be the only change I'd make.
March 12, 2025Scott M.Verified patient

March 17, 2021Eric T.Verified patient
Dr. F. was great! Very friendly and listened to my concerns. The office is nice and the wait was only a few minutes. I didn't feel like Dr. F was on a time crunch to get me in and out and seemed very present when treating me. He was recommended to me by two other people I know and I'm glad I now have a PCP that I am comfortable with.

Dr. Farooqi was very knowledgeable. Great personality, and he genuinely cares. I had to take my high strung son with me for my appointment and he was extremely hyper, Farooqi calmed him down and made him comfortable. I will continue to see him as a PCP, and with other concerns. My entire family loves him. Excellent doctor, highly recommended.
