Dr. Farooq was kind, thoughtful, caring, courteous, personable and professional in every way. She could not have been more attentive, patient or concerned about me and my health issues. She asked excellent questions and patiently listened to my responses with follow-up questions as needed. She carefully explained all treatment options, and we made the choices together. She took as much time with me as needed, and I never felt rushed or hurried. She demonstrated her medical knowledge and shared information with me in a way that was practical and easy to understand. As a new patient on my first visit, she identified a number of underlying health conditions that needed to be immediately addressed and ensured the required diagnostic tests and treatments were done and begun right away. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Farooq, and I am so grateful to her for all she has done for me and my health. I look forward to a long doctor-patient relationship with her and her office!

Dr. Farooq had looked over my records and listened to my concerns. Offered bloodwork to look over some of my conditions from previous bloodwork that were questionable. Told me my Diclofenac prescription may be causing a rise in that prescription.
