I have to review the doctor and the practice separately and figured I'd start with Dr. Farina himself. He's really a great doctor and a perfect fit for someone that wants a doctor that will be honest and direct. He's a great comfort as far as feeling like he knows what he's doing. He doesn't really sugar-coat but at the same time isn't harsh. I've enjoyed my 8 months and look forward to him delivering my baby. I felt comfortable with him and the lady bits from day one, and he's great at getting you comfortable if you are nervous or upset at any point along the way of your pregnancy/exams. He's funny, in touch with reality, and treats you like a person, not just a patient. He makes sure you're happy with your quality of service, listens to your needs, concerns, and preferences. You'll walk out feeling truly taken care of.
I love that I had him suggested to me by a close friend and will be back as long as I can stand the rules/regulations of the group practice and ladies running the front office/desk. I am NOT patient with those kinds of things and have felt that the trade off was worth it to this point because Dr. Farina really is that good. If he was practicing independently, I know I'd be even happier, but also recognize that is not financially practical for most physicians of any kind. read more
