Patient Reviews
Jul 08, 2022
I met Dr. Farooq 4 years ago. My kidneys were very failing fairly quickly and he was the light at the end of the tunnel! He immediately advised me of my options and helped my transition to home hemodialysis I have also had in center dialysis at DCC (Mechanicsburg) as well and always feel so confident in the professional staff that I can always rely on! The home dialysis nurses also have gone out of their way to accommodate my needs. I truly feel that if you are looking for top of the line care- this it!
