Spent very little time with me and charged over $1000.00 for a 20 min. visit. I would not go back there. She is very traditional and has few answers.

I had a follow up with Dr. Farid this morning. I arrived 9 minutes after appointment ... receptionist called back office. He informed that they can not take me in for over 45 minutes because the Dr has three zoom meetings lined up. Who does this??? In Doctors reply ... she said she wasnt notified by receptionist until 15 minutes after appt time... which was not true.

I have ulcerative colitis. Dr. Farid worked with me to find the medication that finally worked. She takes the time to explain what is happening. Never felt rushed or had my questions dismissed. I am so relieved I found her.

I am so pleased that I found Dr. Mary Farid. I was beginning to think that Doctors with her bedside manner, patience and excellent diagnostic skills were a thing of the past. She is a saint and her office staff are professional, courteous and well informed. I highly recommend Dr. Farid.
