If there were ever a situation where I would lose my sight, it would not be because Dr. Farea had not done everything in her power to save my sight. I trust her completely and am very grateful for her constant care.

Swedish Patient
I have relied on Dr Farea's highly professional care for eye appointments for many years. She is well informed of my vision related history, and keeps my primary care doctor of exam results as needed. I prefer scheduling appointments with her despite the need to travel from West Seattle to Northgate for appointments with her.
Swedish Patient
Always professional and respectful.
Swedish Patient
This was my first time to see this care provider. I thought her professionalism was good, but her manner was brusque, rushed and a little condescending. She did not seem to be willing to answer my questions or deal with my concerns. I am almost prepared to return to my previous care provider, even though it would be more expensive because he is not in my insurance network.
Swedish Patient
Dr. Farea is a very nice doctor. I have been seeing her for eye care for quite sometime now, and she is understanding and very pleasant to talk to and tells me what have to be done if there's any. Dr. Farea's tech assistant is very nice and understanding to elders like me who is very sensitive. I really like her a lot. To my opinion both the doctor and her tech are oustanding. They are the best.
