I never wanted a, PAIN Dr. like my Primary Dr thought I should have to help with my pain, after 17 back surgeries and in pain levels way to high I kept counting on my Ortho Surgeon. My mistake, Dr. Farren has me on the right meds, and replacing my Nevro battery next week along with Billy my Nevro rep. Both outstanding Men in their fields. Genuinely concerned about me the patient . Thank you both and God Bless. Highly recommended.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr Farren took the time to explain all that was going on with my back & pain issues, gave an action plan. Scheduled a procedure out 2 weeks from my 1st appt to get my pain under control. He is a fantastic Dr. Could not be happier with my care.

Dr. Farren and my preop nurse, Alyssa, were both personable, friendly, professional, and patient with my questions. Registration staff was welcoming, quick, and efficient. From admission to discharge, I could not have had a better experience.

Dr. Farren is amazing. He’s kind, down to earth, and extremely knowledgeable. I had suffered terrible jaw pain and facial nerve pain for over 10 years. I was dismissed by many doctors, and went through painful PT, expensive mouth guards, and random meds to no avail. It was debilitating pain during the flares. Dr Farren had a good idea it was trigeminal neuralgia right from the start. I had a quick injection over 4 months ago and have had zero pain since that day. I have so much relief knowing if it comes back, I can get another injection. I’d recommend this provider 100%! If only I’d found him 10 years ago.

Dr. Farren is one of the sweetest doctors you will meet. I came from OrthoIndy after having three back surgeries. These surgeries have left me scarred and scared, which had caused post traumatic stress with anything to do with my back. They don't argue with me about sedation or make me feel like I'm seeking. They take my anxiety seriously and always provide the upmost service and care. They try everything in their arsenal before jumping to surgery, which is nice. I have had enough surgeries to last a lifetime so I'm thankful for non invasion techniques to help my pain. Thank you for always listening to me..
