Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2024
Dr. Farma operated on my mom in an emergency. We can’t thank him enough for saving her life. Today when I read about an article of how hard is this profession of being a doctor, I’ve pictured him right away. He did perform a surgery which was lifesaving, but not only, he listened, remained humble, gave clear answers, and could always see him with a bunch of students following him. They say you have to learn from the best, and he is one of the best doctors I’ve ever met. When we saw him in the office, my mom thanked him (I translated) and he gave her a hug. This meant so much to her! The doctor that saved her life gave her a hug… how often do you see that? Thank you doctor Farma, for everything!
