• Dr. Farmer was superb. Not only was he fully informed about ALL my relevant medical history (including about details I had forgotten), he provided a detailed explanation of my condition, options for treating it, and all the risks and benefits associated with those options. But, most importantly, Dr. Farmer detailed the medical and biological elements behind my condition and the associated treatments. By providing the medical/technical context in way that was understandable, Dr. Farmer made it far easier to come to a confident, coherent decision about a path forward. Dr. Farmer was also willing to talk openly about my concerns and hesitations, and to provide candid context, without judgment. Hands down this was best medical consultation I've had in my adult life of 40+ years.
