Dr. Fareed is like your dream of the old time family doctor who has wisdom, skills and caring. He also hires special people. Stella in particular is a very professional and caring individual and always gets back to you if you have questions or issues. Dr. Fareed will sometimes be not precisely on schedule but you should not be unhappy about that because one day you too may need a little extra time, or you too may need to be squeezed into the schedule that is already full. I have been most grateful for the many years he has been my doctor, he has always been there for me when I needed him.

I no longer live in Brawley and truly miss Dr Fareed. He is the best doctor I have ever had. He listens to you, cares, and gets things done. I would recommend him to any of my own family members which is saying a lot for me.

I have tried medical Doctors in the Imperial Valley, San Diego, La Quinta & Palm Desert.....Dr. Fareed is HANDS DOWN the very BEST Family Doctor you can find! He is caring, professional and really cares! You got an issue? He'll find it FAST! None of this "referral" scam...he does most everything himself. Trust me..he is WORTH THE WAIT!!!!! I've been a patient for over 15 years. Keep up the great work Dr. Fareed!

Dr. Fareed is the most caring, attentive physician I have had the pleasure to know. He is not only my doctor but I am proud to consider him a friend. I have driven 2 days for treatment when ill and out of state. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
