Patient Comments

Dr. Faria was fabulous. I appreciated that he did not make us wait long to be seen. He answered all of my questions and provided a thorough explanation of a future procedure and how it would help. I felt confident and secure with my son's care and knowing there was a solid game plan of the issues he was having occurred again.

Absolutely wonderful experience. My daughter was very nervous, Dr. Faria was kind and silly to help her feel more comfortable. He had her giggling within seconds.

Dr. Faria was beyond amazing. His demeanor was calming and my 8 month old daughter was instantly comfortable with him. He listened to our concerns and did not minimize anything. He explained things clearly and had several options in place to make sure this issue was resolved. I would more than recommend Dr. Faria to anyone that may need to see a pediatric ENT!

Dr. Faria referred us to Dr. Vaniandjelovic to close the whole in [...] ear when we were in the office. Dr. Vaniandjelovic was there and came to see us. He was very nice and explained everything. I just wish Dr. Faria would have circled back to advise that we will see Dr. Vaniandjelovic then follow up with him. Both Doctor's were very nice and knowledgeable. It just would have been nice to finish with Dr. Faria since we started the appointment with him so things do not seem up in the air.

Dr. Faria took his time, was not rushed at all. Listened to mine and my husband's concerns about our daughter and discussed his course of action moving forward. He was very thorough, has amazing bedside manner and made my daughter feel extremely comfortable.
