“I love the bond I develop with patients & their loved ones during most challenging time of their lives. It becomes the most humbling experience for me to join them on this journey as their care giver. I start every day of my professional life as a battle to fight and conquer cancer to help my patients defeat this enemy. I always keep myself up to date on latest data as I owe it to my patients in this ever evolving field of oncology. I strongly believe in the philosophy of shared decision making. Together with my patients and their families, we make a care plan based on clinical evidence that balances risks and expected outcomes with patient’s values preferences in mind."

Dr. Farooq spends “quality time” with his patients. Words could not express my amazement when he took time to consult with my family so they would clearly understand my diagnosis. This is the kind of medical service everyone deserves and Dr. Farooq provides. The staff is amazing, compassionate, and attentive to you."
