Doctor was good and explained things well. The one negative was that I did feel a bit rushed, but it wasn't a major issue.

January 9, 2026Elaine D.Verified patient
I booked a new-patient appointment online and received a confirmation call right away with instructions to complete my registration. I didn’t have to wait months — I was seen within two days. The staff was courteous, friendly, and well-informed. The wait time was minimal as they gathered the necessary information for a first-time visit. The doctor came in just minutes after I was brought to the exam room, listened to my main concern, asked a few focused questions, and quickly established a plan to diagnose the issue. This team is truly efficient and well-organized. Thank you

I had a great experience with Dr. Sahava. She was very polite and professional. She listened as I told her about my stomach issues. She told me what are my problems and how we going to resolve it. She even got me an interpreter to make sure I understand her indications. She also explained to me that it is a common problem with people my age. I definitely recommend doctor Farkas for her professionalism and kindness. ??

Friendly office. The doctor was able to answer all of my questions and asked all of the right ones. She made me feel safe and understood my needs and concerns.

Dr. Farkas is an amazing provider. I have never had a doctors appointment (and I've had many) where the doctor was just as committed to educating me as they were to providing me care.
I came to Dr. Farkas with my concerns, and rather than just handing me a prescription and sending me on my way, she really took the time to explain where my symptoms were coming from. She educated me on an issue I have been struggling with for years, and gave me the peace of mind of having a better understanding of my body.
Dr, Farkas is a fantastic practitioner, and I have truly never felt so seen and heard by a medical professional in my life.
