Dr Faris delivered an excellent service of care. He took the time to fully understand my condition and made sure every aspect of my health was covered. He gave me wonderful medical advice and having seen two other Harley st doctors prior to Dr Faris I wish I had gone straight to Dr Faris & the Lister Hospital to begin with! I feel very comfortable and am confident with his selected treatment plan. The level of care Dr Faris delivers is fantastic and he is a huge asset to the clinic.
