    I have seen Dr. Climie for anything from strange rashes on my arms and legs, random headaches and…read moredizziness to any kind of lady issues. Dr. Climie is extremely patient, very busy, but so knowledgeable and a great listener. She's so easy to talk to as well and so good at explaining ailments and diagnosis in layman's term. I would trust my health and well-being to her, she really has your best interest at heart. It's definitely true that it can take months to get scheduled in with her, but she's worth the wait for a very thorough exam and evaluation. I have been to see her for over a decade and would definitely recommend her to anyone.

    I've been seeing Dr. Climie for all my medical needs for the past few years. She takes care of it…read moreall: the dreaded lady exam, the cough and sniffles and the aches and pains. She's a fairly young doctor, which I really relate to. I don't feel the need to keep information from her, or embarrassed to tell her things a doctor should know. Her office (along with all the other doctors') is located on the second floor of this Oakwood building. There's a large waiting room with plenty of magazines to read and a TV to watch to pass the time. My doctor has been known to be late to appointments, meaning lots of time in the waiting room, then more time spent in an examine room. I really don't mind this because I know that Dr. Climie is very thorough and listens to her patients' concerns. If being on time is very important to you, request an appointment at the beginning of the day or right after her lunch hour. I've got a handful of friends who come to this particular doctor. We all agree she's great at what she does. If you need a new family practice doctor, I definitely recommend Dr. Climie.

    So sad this place was great before it expanded. You would get personal care and your doctor had…read moreavailability to see you. Now you cannot get an appointment sooner than 3 months out. Also got hurt at work just needed to see my doctor to verify injury for workman comp case. Couldn't get in sooner than 2.5 months. Insurance lapsed the office manager refused me service because the insurance ran out 3 days prior. I explained the situation she turned me away said it policy they cannot bill me personally after being a patient over 10 years. Then got a bill for missing my appointment. I have spoken to billing twice and this was supposed to be handled. Got another bill today with that same charge. So sad but just know here you are a number and nothing more.

    Horrible staff manners at the front desk. Attitude from the moment my daughter and I walked in…read more Lady working the desk tried to bully my daughter with short, sharp comments such as snapping at her about being 3 minutes late. My kid is struggling with a few things, and going to a doctor's office is where she should be going for care. She should feel safe. But when I stepped in, because nobody will be bullying my kid, the office help decided to hand me over to the manager, Lisa. Didn't get much further with her either. Kept rambling on about office policy and how the NP we were scheduled to see runs a really tight schedule to stay on time. Not true. I see the same NP, Ashlie Head, and she takes her time with her patients. Listens to them, displays wonderful bedside manners, and is a trusted individual. Both professionally and personally. If it weren't for her we'd be taking our business elsewhere. Very disappointing experience at the front desk. I'm a professional, management level employee at the company I work for. If I oversaw that office there would be top to bottom changes.

    Stepped out of the shower and experienced unbearable pain on the ball of my foot as if stepping on…read morea rock. I did some research on the internet and found Dr Farah who had received quite a few positive testimonials from patients. I had an appointment with him two days later and found him to be pleasant, congenial, patient, and informative. He tentatively diagnosed the painful problem and recommended treatment alternatives. He also recommended a shoe orthotic to relieve the pressure and I was pleasantly surprised that the cost of the two I purchased at the office was far less than I expected and well within the price range of those bought in stores such as Dick's etc. Two weeks later I needed a follow-up for issues with my other foot and the orthotic though Dr Farah was not available. Instead, I saw his associate Dr Purtuc. Well, everything I said about Dr Farah applies to this young man as well. However, I indicated to him that I had initially searched for a sports medicine podiatrist to treat my foot problem and that none were available in the Downriver area. As we discussed my concerns I discovered that Dr Purtuc is a runner and has considerable information for sports-related injuries. He made suggestions, altered my shoe laces to relieve pressure, demonstrated stretching exercises for Achilles, heel, plantar area and adjusted the orthotic. He was patient, answered all my questions and provided a feeling of confidence. Overall, I was pleased with Dr Farah and Dr Purtuc in my treatment(s) and am confident that either would be a good choice for new patients to consider. However, if a sports oriented approach is what you're looking for, then Dr Purtuc might be someone to meet your needs though, in fairness, perhaps Dr Farah might also respond to such an approach if queried. The staff is friendly and caring and the office pleasant, clean, comfortable and modern.

    I broke my 5th metatarsal and was referred to Dr. Farrah's office from a local urgent care clinic…read more I also HIGHLY recommend seeing Dr. Farah, he is very professional and has a very personal manner when speaking with him. He really looks out for your best interest, not only in his practice, but also in the hospital when surgery is needed (like for my case). I am confident in his care and I feel I am getting the best I can get! Also, his employees are great...they are friendly and treat you as family and they are knowledgeable as well. Dr. Farah accepts BCBS, so go to him if you have any special foot health needs!
