Review for Dr. Farmer

Dr. Kinsey is an excellent doctor. She is caring and competent. She has worked me in when I was sick. Upon having a scan, she called me immediately. We are fortunate to have her here in Roanoke. I'm so glad to be her patient. Undoubtedly, one of my favorite doctors I've ever had!
