    Dr. Farrand is outstanding! She listened to my concerns and addressed them with compassion and understanding. She gave very clear and detailed answers and advice. She went over my test results so I could understand each test and its results as it applies to me. She gave me a path forward and recommended when to test for more evaluations.
