I originally was scheduled to be seen by another neurosurgeon for a possible laminectomy who I had a good experience with in the past but at the last minute he left the practice. I was referred to another neurosurgeon by my primary care doctor who after researching I was not comfortable with. I did my own research of neurosurgeons within my medical group and came across Dr. Farin who has incredibly positive reviews. When I am looking for a doctor I review mostly for their medical experience and after treatment success stories. I consulted with Dr. Farin and was extremely impressed with her attention to detail and time she spent with me discussing my options. At no time did she push to perform surgery and encouraged me to look at all my options. Since I had already had back surgery for stenosis and the X-rays and MRI showed that more had developed so I opted to have the laminectomy in July of 2020. The surgery went very well, and I was up and out of the hospital quickly. It is now January of 2021 and am 98% pain free and my quality of life is much so much better than prior to the surgery. I am my own dedicated advocate to receive the best care possible and do research my doctors and procedures until my comfort level is high and I believe that I am making the best decision for success. I highly recommend and Dr. Farin and will see her again if I develop in new stenosis. Thank You Dr. Farin...

I have several serious back disorders and had put off surgery for seven years, using four medications to manage the increasing pain. When it became unbearable, my primary care physician referred me to Dr. Farin. Other doctors I consulted along the way were familiar with Dr. Farin, and encouraged me to consult with her should I decide on surgery. Although I am almost 70, I had an active life that was on hold due to the severe pain. Discussion at my first appointment with Dr. Farin let me know that I would need surgery, and I knew then that she would be the one to perform it.
I am almost eight weeks out from a hemilaminotomy, and I am on my way back to a normal life. Although the surgery was much more extensive than originally thought, the pain is gone and I am resuming the activities that had been on hold before the surgery. Of course, I am extremely happy with the results of the surgery, but what impressed me the most was/IS
Dr. Farin herself. At every appointment before and after the surgery, I never left without a complete explanation of every aspect of the visit and information about the surgery, with her gaining acknowledgement of my understanding. She was right there every day of my hospitalization, immediately addressed any concern, and promptly returned every call I made to her via phone or email. I have never had such a responsive doctor. I remember asking her a question during a post-surgery visit while she was standing behind me, checking my incision. She moved right around me to look at me while answering the question. Maybe this would not seem important to other patients, but it was to me. This type of surgery is intimate and traumatic to the body and mind, and knowing that Dr. Farin sees me as a person, rather than just another back, is helping me through it. I feel fortunate to have entrusted this part of my healthcare to her, and I am extremely grateful to her.
