I’ve used Dr. John Farmer many, many yrs. I am a retired college Counselor, Teacher & Dir. & I feel Dr. Farmer is the most conscientious, polite, & best Cardiologist in TX, & maybe in the U.S.!!

I requested a cardiology workup at Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Farmer was in charge of the screening and interpretation of results. Excellent patient-friendly manner. Dr. Farmer called to explain the results of each test. Glad to have him on my team of care providers.

My appointment was just yesterday so there has not been time for a follow-up visit, but I have never felt so comfortable and at ease with a doctor so fast. He showed compassion and interest in my problem and medical history.

Dr. John Farmer (heart doctor) and Dr. William Mitch ( kidney doctor) at the Baylor Clinic are the best and most caring doctors I have ever had. They spend as much time with you as you need, they answer all questions and their physical exams are the old style, meaning they are very through and complete.

Took his time, asked questions, then exam. Seemed interested in me as a human being, not just a number.

I've never had another physician as caring, or as attentive as Dr. Farmer. I have a very rare heart condition. He's always taken extra time with me and my family to discuss my condition. He calls me himself whenever we run into a problem. He also stays on top of my other medical conditions to make sure I have everything taken care of that could affect my heart. He's also a fantasically interesting doctor. He knows everyone and has a story to explain just about any problem you have with your heart. He is second to none in patient care. I've never met another person with his heart or his dedication to his patients.
