Dr. Farea was the first doctor to effectively address the discomfort of my contact lenses. I have mentioned this to my eye doctors for decades. Dr. Farea was the first to start me on lubricating drops, which have already been helpful. Thank you for listening, Dr. Farea.

During the past several years for which Dr. Farea provides my medical care (eye treatment), I truly believe that I am a recipient of the best medical service ever provided.

Providence 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.
Providence 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.
Providence Patient
Always professional and respectful.
Providence Patient
I have received care from PacMed physicians and optometrists for nearly 33 years and could not be more satisfied. I have had nothing like a bad experience.
Providence 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.

Providence Patient
1st time eye Floater. My eyecare provider at Canyon Park was on vacation. Need to be seen within 28 hours. They did have a triage nurse call me back immediately to access the severity. There was one appt in Seattle but I'm too nervous to drive to Pill Hill. They got me in the next day with Dr Ferea within the 48 hours after floaters first appeared. My fault I didn't realize on Day 1 what they were or how serious which is why when I called for an appointment I only had a 24 hour window left to be seen. Dr Ferea was an excellent doctor and her medical assistant was the best eye care medical assistant I have seen at PacMed. She was able to help hold my eyelids to get the necessary pictures. I can't emphasize how extraordinary it was to get the pictures so easily. It really helped eliviate a difficult part of a stressful situation. I was very comfortable with Dr Ferea's skills too.

Dr Farea is the best!

Only one concern. The provider answered several of my questions, but not one or two of them. I don't know if she was engrossed in what she was reading in the computer or she didn't hear me. But I didn't repeat the questions. It's educational and reassuring to have all your questions answered.
