Wonderful Doctor
I see Dr Farrell every 6 months for blood work. He explains everything clearly and shows a real interest in the “whole patient”; the family and activities and all things health related.

A very good Hematologist who I'm blessed to have.
Always great and Dr. Farrell is very throughout in the ongoing treatment in which he recommends and administers. Very personable an extremely easy to converse with. Been a patient for well over three years now and he has been very efficient regarding my treatment(s) which has kept my Multiple Myeloma well under control. He has raised a very high bar which I believe would be a challenge to anyone who should attempt to succeed him. My goal is to continue with Dr. Farrell for the entire duration of my diagnosis. Many of his patients whom I have spoken with also hold him in high regard. In retrospect, I'm truly blessed to have such phenomenal quality care and on-going personalized concern, by this impeccable specialist, during this particular journey that been bestowed upon me.

resolving a "question of cancer" issue
Some healthcare staff were concerned about spots in my liver on a scan this summer. Dr. Farrell did his homework and found a2019 scan that showed the same situation -- indicating that the spots were not cancerous but hemangiomas that are normally not harmful. What a relief!

Dr Farrell was in every way highly professional during each of our interactions. He gave me his review of my recent test results and listened carefully to my reactions. He then provided clear recommendations for my future use of medications and follow up care

It's amazing to me that Dr. Farrell and his entire staff are so incredibly attentive. Even under the toughest of situations the team works hard to educate, sympathize, coach, and most of all show passion and empathy. In short, they are the personification of excellence!
