Dr. Farmer did my knee. I asked him not to put staples in. Woke up with staples. I know many other surgeons. I worked with them. To be clear. My original knee was never marked by him. Basic OR technique. My last visit confirmed he is in the medical field for money with no care for his patients.

I trust Dr. Farmer. He's straightforward, clearly knows what he's doing and makes elme comfortable with his diagnosis. He's performed a successful surgery on me in the past and I'm being checked for another on a different joint. Worry-free.
