    Dr. Farney is one of those rare doctors with both caring and excellent knowledge in his specialty. He is able to listen well, and asks good questions to develop an accurate diagnosis before he prescribes recommended medications and behavior changes needed. I recommend him with the highest possible confidence.

    Dr. Farney always takes the time to explain everything to me, regarding my ASV and central sleep apnea. He has always provided me with excellent care. I will never be able to thank him enough for all of his help. He has gone over and above time after time to make sure that I have received the care that I need

    First visit is abit premature to give a meaningful opinion. Ask me again after some time has elapsed and had a chance to try his recommendations.
