I was mistakenly assigned Dr. Fayhe when my sports medicine doctor left the clinic, but when we had our appointment for my back she informed me of the error and that she is a primary care doctor. I happened to be in search of a PC, so I rolled with it. She is wonderful! She's attentive and very good at gently informing and is happy to go into detail when I ask questions. Very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. While I'm not a medication hunter, I've noticed she's very conservative with prescription meds and ensures they're necessary, which I very much appreciate.
I have recommended Dr. Fahy to several people. She is outstanding.
