I found Dr. Farnsworth to be a knowledgeable, helpful, and approachable. She answered my questions in a clear and concise manner and gave me good advice regarding options for follow up care.

The care provider was patronizing and judgmental making assumptions about the patient and not listening to the concerns expressed.

Dr Farnsworth is a gem
May 31, 2023
Dr. Farnsworth is amazing. Takes time to explain and answer questions. Is down to earth and friendly, which makes it easy to feel comfortable and trust her completely.
May 31, 2023
Seeking to clarify course of action in health maintenance, I will pose questions or ask for additional details. Dr. Farnsworth often seems irritated by this. [...] I do not feel respected or valued by Dr. Farnsworth. In her exam room, I feel like a "case" and not an individual. As a result of her seeming disregard for my expressions of interest in my changing health conditions, I have lost trust in her as a primary provider/coordinator and I do not feel in partnership of the process of personal health maintenance.

[...] As for this unpleasant visit, it may just have been one bad visit/day but it was a bad one.
May 26, 2023
Worst Dr. I have ever been to. I am 62 and have been very happy with every Dr I have ever had until Dr Farnsworth. She is So rude, uncaring, won't listen to your concerns, doesn't even take time to learn anything at all about patients that are all new to her. Her reviews speak for many other patients that are very unhappy as well. I am searching for a new Dr.
May 06, 2023
No empathy or compassion. Seemed annoyed we were there. No help or reassurance. No support. Barley listened. [...] One of the worst encounters with a provider.

Dr. Farnsworth is top notch
Apr 12, 2023
She rude when she spoke to me this last visit
Apr 07, 2023
Care provider asked questions about current prescription meds, but did not seem interested in my responses.
Mar 20, 2023
Dr. Farnsworth was excellent. She took a lot of time updating and asking about my past health history. She was very knowledgeable regarding my concerns.
Jan 20, 2023
She does not listen or put comfort and needs of patient before her ego. Never greeted or introduced herself to family members present
Dec 28, 2022
I am pleased with my doctor and happy to have her since my my long life doctor retired. I waited and finally have a very professional doctor to care for me at my advanced age (76).
Dec 13, 2022
Excellent provider
Nov 21, 2022
Dr. Farnsworth spent a good amount of time talking with me and I appreciate that. It was apparent she had looked at my records/history and explained information in an easily understandable way. She gave me helpful tips.
Nov 21, 2022
If an individual is looking for a doctor who makes no effort to establish rapport, is not friendly and who gives "cut and dried" responses, Dr. Farnsworth would be the doctor to choose. She does not introduce herself when meeting new patients. Since I rarely see a doctor, I will continue to have her as my primary care physician. This was the second time I had an appointment with her. [...] She is cold and as impersonal as possible.
Nov 14, 2022
Care provider extremely knowledgeable and willing to share her knowledge with you ie teach
Nov 11, 2022
Dr Farnsworth was very knowledgeable and thorough
Nov 11, 2022
This was the best visit I have had in a long time. At one time I was thinking about leaving the practice.
Sep 27, 2022
Dr. Farnsworth is not friendly what so ever. She doesn't listen to any of my concerns. When I talk to her she doesn't listen to what I am even saying. [...]
Sep 25, 2022
Dr. Farnsworth was awesome! Very thorough & took a great deal of time going over my blood work: very, very satisfied.
Aug 30, 2022
Was very impressed with Dr Farnsworth and her thoroughness during my first visit.
Aug 12, 2022
Dismissive. She was ill. I felt she was basically saying I was as sick as her and yet she was at work and I should be too. Which is actually what I needed, a note to say I could go back to work because I had called in sick for 3 shifts in a row And maybe some symptom relief guidance. [...] I go to work sick often, I don't go to the doctors really ever, so when I do go it's because whatever it is has lasted over a week. It's just discouraging because I don't go because I don't want to waste anyones time and then the time I do because I've been I'll for greater than 7 days, that's exactly how she made me feel. Like I was waisting her time. Just not great. I was told interventions that I'd already been doing for a week. Those were helping yes but weren't getting rid of the illness. I wanted to be sure I wasn't sick with strep or something that could be treated. It just didn't feel compassionate and also here I am literally on day 14 and still very symptomatic but I won't call or come in because I don't want to waste her time. I have another appointment with her for a check in for the medication I was put on last year this coming December and seriously considered canceling because I can only imagine that a visit like that is a waste of time just to say yep this med is working yep please refill the prescription. Otherwise I've had great experiences there. [...] I just wasn't thrilled with this provider. [...]

Listened well took time to explain things to me and made sure I understood her directions
Jun 01, 2022
This was the first time I saw this provider since I was a patient of Dr. [...] who retired. [...]. We covered many things during the appointment but after leaving I remembered others that I wished she knew about. I guess we'll get to those next time.
Apr 14, 2022
She was excellent.
Apr 06, 2022
Doctor was easy to talk to, spent the necessary time with me, and answered my questions in detail. Very good bed side manner and put me at ease. This allowed for an open discussion about my overall health concerns.
Apr 06, 2022
This was my first experience with this Physician, my previous physician was Dr. Goh who retired. I will continue to use Dr. Farnsworth for future visits
Apr 01, 2022
Dr. Farnsworth is new to this practice and I just met her. It takes time to build trust. Although I was pleased with my visit, I could not rate her with 5's across the board just yet.
