Dr Farrington has the best bedside manor I have ever seen in a surgeon and I have seen a lot! He projects confidence and kindness in equal measure. I was a little worried because he is young, but his experience is extensive, especially in the area I needed. He explained exactly what should happen during the repairs to my valve and aortic vessel and then explained again after surgery that things went according to plan with a few enhancements. I would definitely recommend Dr Farrington to friends and family.

Dr. Farrington spent a lot of time with me on my first visit with him. He had limited information in my file as not all of my previous doctor's records were transferred to him. He dIscussed my condition and the new tests that would be completed before my next visit, to further assess my condition.

If you find a doctor that you like you don't recommend him because he'll get slammed with the people you recommended and then I'll have a hard time getting an appointment. Like the doctor but wouldn't recommend unless asked.
