Dr Farrow was outstanding and I was glad that I got to meet with him. He made me feel like there would be a positive outcome, albeit with trials, to my injury. I would have gladly chosen and trusted him to do my surgery. Unfortunately, he was out of network for me, and I has to go a different direction. His detail in the patient notes, his friendly rapport, and of course his well documented skill as a surgeon and educator, makes him a great asset to the Cleveland Clinic.
