Dr Farid asked me questions and listened well when I answered. I felt like she cared and wanted to spend time understanding my concerns.

My experience bears mention of a very gracious person at reception at 1225 15th Street. I thought I was on 16th Street, so naturally I couldn't find 1223. She was super-sweet! I checked in for my appointment and barely sat down before I was called in. No waiting and the entire experience took only about 35 minutes. I'm sorry I do not recall the titles of the people I saw before and after Dr Farid (except "scheduler") but everyone treated me with courtesy and patience, and I left with no questions unanswered. I felt comfortable with Dr. Farid right away and she listened. I feel in very good hands.
