:) Click to report rating    4/1/08 4 4 5 I am sorry that Dr Faris has left. I have had only good experiences with him. My son also saw him and he is very good with children from my observations. I am in the process of finding another doctor just hoping they will be as good as Dr.Faris.

:) Click to report rating    9/21/07 5 4 5 Overall the best family doctor I have seen. He is the FD for my two sons and I will be so sorry to see him leave. Dr. Faris is very helpful and will do what he can to assist you...how many doctors do you know that will call you before he starts clinic just to check on your child that he seen the day before b/c he knew you were concerned of his condition...I never had a doubt he was a great doctor before but after today he just proved to me that he would go beyond his call of duty...

:) Click to report rating    6/10/07 4 4 I previously would not visit Dr. Faris but I was encouraged to do so by my husband who said that he was ok. I had heard bad reports but I was pleasantly surprised. Dr. Faris was on time and he acted like he was genuinely interested in my problems. He listened to me and he even smiled at me. I would see him again.

:) Click to report rating    4/29/07 2 5 I find Dr. Faris excellent with my children and I. I find him friendly but not to the point that he is overly personal, and he seems to genuinely care about our family and any health issues we may have. It is a nuisance to be waiting more than an hour with 2 small children though.

:) Click to report rating    4/5/07 4 5 I think Dr. Faris is a very nice and good doctor. He knows what he is talking about. He is very smart and he will keep trying things until he finds out what is wrong or you are better. He is great with my children, they love to see him. To the people who write negitive things about Dr. Faris, grow up. Are you a dr? Do you have MD after your name. He has to put up with alot of crap from people every single day and just because you are having a bad day, doesn't mean he is a bad dr. And because you didn't get your own way, don't take it out on anybody else. AND to those people who have been saying negitive things about his front staff ( in dr. collis' site) shame on you. They have to put up with more crap from people LIKE YOU everyday. I find them very nice girls and will do whatever they can for people. My children love going to them and getting stickers. They usually get more than one. So to every negitive person making comments, get a life, and try to walk in their shoes.

:( Click to report rating    4/4/07 3 1 When my regular physician was on leave, I saw Dr. Faris on three occasions and he was most unhelpful, and actually rude. I think he is arrogant and may harm the clinic by his attitude; he made assumptions which were incorrect and misdiagnosed my condition. I told my own doctor that I would not see him again under any circumstances.

:) Click to report rating    4/2/07 3 5 My family has been seeing Dr. Faris for a few years now and our experiences have been very pleasnt ones. He's very knowledgeable and takes the time to listen. I never feel rushed when I visit like I have with my previous family Dr. Meds are never overperscribed and he'll always try to give alternative suggestions or remedies before resorting to perscribing a medication. He is really great with kids too. We are quite happy with the quality care and service he provides to our family.

:) Click to report rating    4/2/07 5 5 Dr. Faris is a fair Doctor that does not try to push prescriptions on you. First he wants us to try to fight first before there are any mentions of drugs. I find Dr. Faris funny, great with my children and I trust going to him.

:( Click to report rating    3/28/07 1 1 When I finally do go to the Doctor, it is because I am sick. Dr. Faris acts as though I am visiting the office in order to annoy him. He is extremely rude, doesn't ask any questions and when I am speaking he looks elsewhere. Get another job, Dr. Faris.

:| Click to report rating    3/28/07 2 2 I find Dr. Faris has a bad bed side manner and does not seem interested in the reason the patient is there. He acts arrogant. Not there for the right reason to help the patients.

:| Click to report rating    3/28/07 4 3 I went to Dr. because i knew I had an infection. He told me to get over the counter medicine becuase RX would not work. I went back in 3 days and he gave me RX cough medicine. That did not work either. After aanother 4 days, I went back to him. He came in his office did not ask me anything but sat down, wrote out the RX for antibiotics and left. He did not want to hear anything I had to say. By the way, the antibiotics worked. It was an infection. Shame on you Jay.

:| Click to report rating    3/22/07 2 1 Dr. Faris tends to run behind schedule. I have waited for more than an hour on every occasion. he speaks arrogantly and tends not to listen to my complaints. In his case, a little bedside manner would go a long way.
