Jamal Farhan Bariatric Surgeon

My first impression of Dr. Farhan is that he seems to be a quiet man, but answered all of my questions and concerns which put me at ease. The nurses and office staff are very nice at Hurley Bariatric center, they have a very good, structured pre-op and post-op plan. After your surgery is scheduled you recieve a packet with all the imformation you need, along with your nutritional class date and your pre admissions testing date. The nutritional class is very informative, you learn what to do before surgery (your diet), and what is expected post op, everything is thoroughly explained. I was completely informed of the possible complications of lapband surgery and the advantages of having the surgery. I haven't had surgery yet so I don't know his bedside manner yet but have heard nothing but possitive things so far about Dr. Farhan. I'm just very excited right now and looking forward to surgery and a new beginning.

At first i thought he was a lil short , but i think it was me not him , i wasnt sure on what to expect , nor knew what to ask , , i meet him a gain , i felt he was very concerned , down to earth , very forward , n helpful . I think his patients should know he really cares bout his patients , he made me stop smoking for 8 weeks doing the surgery , my new date is 6-1-08

Farhan seemed very knowledgable and was easy to ask questions to.rnrnThe office staff is very kind and has been very nice even when I was very hasty about things.rnrn

First impression was that he was very confident in his work. rnOffice staff is very friendly and nice except for one of the dietician, who I feel \"talks down\" to me, but the other dietician I've talked to there is very nice.rnThe thing I liked least is I never seen him since I left the hospital. rn

Dr Farhan was very courtious and informative.rnHis Ofice and staff were professional and knowledgable. The surgery was flawless with barely any scaring, and no complications. Dr. Farhan came to my room every day after durgery to check on me. I was in 3 days after surgery. He also worked with me to get me back to work asap after recovery. I would rate him ona scale of 1-10 an absolute 10

Dr. Farhan and his nurse P.A. Nancy were both excellent. I didn't meet either until I was out of surgery. Dr. Farhan did a nice job. I don't have any complications at this point, and my incisions look really healthy.

I myself am the Clinical Coordinator for Surgical Services at Hurley Medical Center. I chose Dr. Farhan as my surgeon because I think that he is the best. I will add more later.

Dr Farhan, was a great doctor i would recommend him to others, as he is down to earth and caring. He was great with my family after the surgery and answered all their questions! He spent time talking to me about things both before and after my surgery. He has great bedside manner, and even signed my comfort pillow the day he told me I was going home!

Dr. Farhan is great! Very down to earth and supportive! I enjoy working with his PA Christie now more than him though, she understands the feminine side of things! :)

Dr. Farrahan was very professional. I would have liked more bedside manners...I don't like to feel like a customer.
