Only thing I don't like is scheduling my appointment for a specific time and not being called till nearly two hours later. If you know you're not going to call a patient on time then space out the appointment times.

Dr. Farnham has changed my life for the better. He is such a great doctor. I had been going to another doctor for many years. I was having issues so went to Dr. Farnam for a second opinion. His level of knowledge, expertise and bedside manner exceeds. He fully explained all of my options and ultimately let me decide what I wanted to do. I ended up having a robotic procedure. Recovery was short with minimal blood loss and no complications. I’m so pleased and thankful for Dr. Farnam. His NP Patty is also incredible. So glad I found them!

Thank you is not enough DR. FARNAM!!!!!Thank you to his office staff and of course his SURGERY STAFF for their dedication and professionalism for the joy and enthusiasm they put in their work. My surgery was a robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy. The recovery after surgery was amazingly fast and painless. This only can tell me the professionalism, dedication and great knowledge of Dr. Farnam. Not only he’s one of the TOP 5 DOCTORS in his field. He’s so human and warm, empathetic and his enthusiasm is amazing. It’s not very often that we find this feeling of gratitude and satisfaction with doctors. Highly highly RECOMMENDED!!!

Dr. Farnham is an excellent doctor with a genuine commitment to his patients to provide exceptional care. I am in my 70s and recently had to undergo a complete hysterectomy. The day after I felt like it had never happened and the recovery was a breeze. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this doctor and highly recommend him.
