Reviews
I have been a patient of Doctor Faruqi for year's now. Each and every time I have visited his office and had my colonoscopy done by him. From beginning to the end I'm a satisfied patient Doctor Faruqi and his staff explain everything that I need to know and what's going to happen. And they call yo check on me when I get home after my colonoscopy and a few days afterwards. Thank y'all for taking care of me keep doing what y'all are doing.
Dr. Faruqi is a very kind and compassionate doctor, very no nonsense and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Appointment with Dr Faruqi went well. There are some follow-up that is needed before we can set the date for my procedure.
Best office staff I have seen in a very long time. Dr. Faruqi was excellent. He performed a colonoscopy on me. Only problem I had was with the prep solution making me nauseous. That was addressed prior to the procedure being done. Everything went perfect the day of the procedure beginning with checking in to the nurses, the anesthesiologist, Dr. Faruqi, and the transport person that took me to the car following the procedure. I had excellent care. I highly recommend Dr. Faruqi and his support staff for gastrointestinal problems.
Dr Faruqi is knowledgeable and very professional . He explained every detail of my procedure and answered all my questions. I definitely recommend him.
