I have been Dr. Farnsworth' patient for around 20 years. He is very smart, knowledgeable, and most competent doctor. He is a great person, most humble, and most caring doctor. I start feeling better by just talking to him. He listens, do thorough check up, gets tests done, and prescribe medicine. He makes good connection with the patient as a human being. I love him, and woukd rate him the highest possible. I have referred many friends and family members to him.

New patient told to show up 15 min early and did. I still hadn't been seen, with one still ahead of me one hour after the beginning of my appointment. The receptionist made ME feel guilty instead of apology. Vote with your feet as I did. THIS should not of happened.

I have been going to Dr. Farnsworth for over a year and I could not write enough positive things about him. He's extremely thorough, kind, trustworthy and most importantly knowledgeable. I came to him with multiple issues and we have systematically worked through all of them. I truly relish the visits that I have with him, because he listens to understand - not listens to respond to me. He is the perfect partner that we all need and he will collaborate with you and your health vision regardless of how conventional or functional your needs require. Blessed to have him as my family doctor.

Dr. Farnsworth is a fantastic doctor. He spends an appropriate amount of time with you and explains in detail what he is doing and why he is doing it. I have been going to him for about 9 years and he has always been very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. It can take a long time to get in to see him but that is just because he is a very popular doctor.

Dr. Farnsworth is outstanding, but his office/nurses absolutely SUCK. The PA (Lucia Kroh) is also fantastic. They both are very caring, thorough, and intelligent. When Dr. Farnsworth leaves or retires, I do too because his nurses and staff are forgetful, rude, and should not be caring for patients.
