Dr. Sarafian has worked tirelessly to find the right medications for my problem. He has helped fight the insurance company so I can get more specialized treatment from a hospital specializing in my illness.

I find Dr. Farjad Sarafian to be a wonderful doctor. He communicates very well and explains everything thoroughly. He got me funding for a very expensive medication that would cost $1500 a week without the funding. He also reviews my case with National Jewish Hospital which is one of the two leading hospitals for NTM.

The First meeting was when I was in ICU having a reoccurrence of an infection in my back after my surgery. He came in was calm, comforting,explained what needed to be done to heal me. That was in May 2013. He has been my Dr.ever since. Has kept on top of all we need to keep me healthy.A sense of COMFORT when I leave after a visit with him..He has taken the time to bring me up to date,listened to all my questions & concerns. never a feeling of being rushed. The comfort also comes knowing the depths of his knowledge.My gratitude overflows knowing he is there for me!.

He is one of the best and most courteous doctors I went to. His office sucks though. He is going to setup a new office soon. I hope that would be as good as he is.
