Dr. seemed rushed. Didn't answer questions. Must have been because I came in during the lunch hour. Gave me wrong meds. Went in for a sinus infection. Told me I had allergies and gave me Predisone and Hydrocodene. Predisone made me sick. Gave me ulcer like pains. Got a second opinion. Dr told me to tapper off Predisone. Told me the meds he gave me were not for what I had. Was informed to contact Dr. and see why he prescribe me those meds. I will never go back to him. Only went to him because Dr. Torres was booked solid for the day.

Dr. Farooq is a rare breed among doctors these days. He is kind, caring, has a great bedside manner. He really takes the time to listen to you and does everything he can to get you well. Now that I have found him, I would never go to another internist. Can't say enough good things about him and comfortable he made me feel at all times.
