A magical “doctor” who diagnosed from the ER doorway. Needless to say, recommending a tracheotomy was incorrect. Will always remember that when patient asked a simple clarifying question he was informed he was “now in a hospital.” Patient expired a few weeks later. Guess Arrogance 101 is a part of medical education curriculum.

Dr Faruqui takes the time to review the whole person, not just the piece of me that is within his speciality. His office staff are also very kind.

Dr. Faruqui has kept me sleeping well with his support for my sleep apnea. He's very perceptive and supportive.

Dr. Faruqui has been my sleep medicine doctor for over 10 years. He is careful, competent, and has a rare genuine interest in my well being. I usually rely on reviews of doctors before seeing them, but in this case, the few mixed reviews I've seen for Dr. Faruqui don't align with my first hand experience with him. Again, it's been my experience that Dr. Faruqui shows a rare combination of stellar bedside manner and medical competence.
