Been a patient of DR. Farb for decades. I had a minor heart episode recently and we had a very good discussion where he listened, asked questions, explained things and offered advice about what to do if it happens again. He's also having me get tests done.

Andrew spent a significant amount of time talking to me, listening to me, and explaining care options to me. The time given was much greater than most providers that I've met with. You could tell that he actually cared.
