Patient Reviews
Jun 01, 2022
Dr. Farah is my mom's retina specialist. We have been going to him monthly for the past two years for a chronic problem. Yesterday we got some good news in that Dr. Farah's treatment has markedly improved my mom's issue, which will allow her to get the cataract surgery that she has long been waiting for. Dr. Farah is a smart, thoughtful doctor and his office staff, particularly Jill, make every visit very pleasant for both of us. We are very grateful to the doctor and his staff for making this journey (which has been very scary for my mom) a positive experience with a terrific outcome.
