Dr Farber was wonderful as always. He is personable and professional to a level that rare to find. Not only does he thoroughly address the areas of his specialty, he also takes interest and gives consideration to health concerns that are in other fields to give informed and conscientious care. Dr Farber makes me feel that he genuinely cares for my child's wellbeing, health and quality of life, and is considerate to the well being of the caregiver.
