Reviews
I came to Dr. Farris wanting to come off anabolic steroids and get back to a natural state. My levels were through the roof and I had a long road to recovery and get my body back to normal. He put me on a regimen to taper off of the steroids in a safe and healthy way. After the regimen my bodies natural test level was very low and my estrogen was high. Dr. Farris put me on a prescription testosterone and closely monitored my levels and got me on a level to maintain a healthy and normal level.
excellent physician with excellent practical application
Dr. Gerry has helped me greatly by analyzing my physical condition as I age and advice regarding an elbow injury due to a biking accident several years ago. His suggestions regarding supplements and diet have been very beneficial to my overall health. I have greater energy, less allergies and less forgetfulness. He has also suggested exercises that have improved my overall body strength, stamina and reduced body fat.
I have been a patient of Dr. Farris for many years now. Stop going at it alone have a true Dr. help you. I have continually improved for years now and seeing gains instead of losses. TY Dr. Farris
I came to see him for endurance and performance. My entire workout experienced did a 180. I could not be happier with my results and the knowledge i have gained from him. Very much recommended.
I came to Dr. Farris with menopausal symptoms and a desire to increase my strength and over all athletic performance in the gym. Within three months of my first visit and starting on hormonal replacement, I was leaner, better at the gym and hormonally, my hot flashes had stopped, I was sleeping better and my overall health had improved.
Dr. Farris provides a personal approach to my overall health and well being, I never feel rushed, he listens and addresses concerns with an educated response.
He uncovered issues with my health that other practitioners had not found. I have found him very attentive and very skilled and knowledgable. I highly recommend him
Dr Farris not only studies the leading exercise science research, but he practices it as well. It's nice to have someone in your corner that practices what he preaches.
Dr. Farris has always been able to help me with my health and wellness needs. He focuses on every aspect of your well being and makes sure to put all the pieces of the puzzle together and not miss anything important. He has helped me lose a lot of weight and lower my cortisol levels. He is very knowledgeable and always has the answer. He is the best doctor and I highly recommend him!
For the past 2 yrs.I have struggled with multiple respiratory infections, shingles and IBS. I began consulting with Dr. Farris about a year ago. He has educated me to the importance of proper nutrition, exercise and proper supplements that have helped me regain a healthy immune system and proper digestion. Since he is educated in traditional medicine as well as integrated medicine, he has been able to customize treatment of my various problems with the best of both worlds.
I've been a patient of Dr. Ferris' for 3 years now. I tried a couple other providers before finding Dr. Ferris but was very unhappy with the lack of "personal service" and understanding. Once I met Dr. Ferris and was able to experience his knowledge and true love of his craft I realized I'd found a healthcare provider that truly cared about my well being .
Amazing to find a doctor who listens and comes up with, and explains a clear path as you move forward together.
