Dr. Faruqi is a no nonsense physician who is clearly on top of his craft and, what is more, he never hurries through a consultation or a procedure. I take great confidence in his learned recommendations; he's helped me a lot and is highly recommended.

Dr. Faruqi and his staff provided very professional pre-screening and post-operative office visits for my colonoscopy. The outpatient colonoscopy procedure and biopsy analysis was also very professional, with Dr. Faruqi informing me of the results asap. There was a slight delay in the scheduled time for my procedure, after being admitted.

I definitely recommend him.
Best office staff I have seen in a very long time. Dr. Faruqi was excellent. He performed a colonoscopy on me. Only problem I had was with the prep solution making me nauseous. That was addressed prior to the procedure being done. Everything went perfect the day of the procedure beginning with checking in to the nurses, the anesthesiologist, Dr. Faruqi, and the transport person that took me to the car following the procedure. I had excellent care. I highly recommend Dr. Faruqi and his support staff for gastrointestinal problems.
