“Dr. Faravash is very kind and thoughtful. She communicates with the intake nurse so she comes in prepared to help you. I feel so incredibly comfortable coming to this office, and feel like I have finally found a doctor that cares and wants to help you. She’s knowledgeable and can refer/recommend specialists you may need. In my experience, doctors visits are always awkward. But here I felt like I was just telling a friend what’s going on. I would highly recommend this doctor!”

Wait time was almost non-existent- I barely had time to finish my paperwork! Dr. Farahvash was great- she made me feel very comfortable, listened, and took my concerns seriously. This is my first time switching my GP since in 20 years and I was very happy with my experience

Great experience.. found my new pcp
August 18, 2022Allan V.Verified patient
This was by far one of the best annual primary visits I have experienced.
The wait time was just about 10 minutes (not long).
I came in with a list of questions and concerns in which the doctor addressed accordingly. She went into depth about everything and explained it in a way I could understand.
I was not nervous or intimidated by asking personal questions since the doctor was very understanding and knowledgeable.
Everything was addressed professionally and I am actually looking forward to another visit!
July 15, 2022Juliana I.Verified patient
A lot of things went wrong for me before my visit (bus delays, form issues) that were on me and had me frazzled, but the office staff was still really accommodating and Dr. Farahvash talked with me through my needs. I’m really glad everything worked out and I got to meet with her!
