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.

I met with both Dr.’s Farmer and Barra and it was a great experience with both doctors. They took the time to explain everything and the procedure that I would need. The kindness and concern for me was excellent.

Was very rushed during our first meeting. However. I do understand there was an administrative mixup and my appointment canceled which could have caused the rushing through my allotted time
