Dr. Farrington and Maria Traverso explain things to me very clearly, with a gentle, polite, bedside manner. They are both very thoughtful in how they present the information. I have an aortic aneurysm and I was scared to receive the latest test results. Dr.Farrington had a warm smile as he delivered the good news. I've recommended my mother to him and NP Traverso and she is now also a patient of theirs. I'm very happy and confident with the care provided by Dr. Farrington and Maria Traverso.

Maria, is one of my favorite medical professionals whose care I am under. I find her to be honest, very professional, extremely caring and knowledgeable with the total care of my health care. Maria, saw that I have a second spot on my lungs and asked me about my plans of action in taking care of this new finding. She told me the basics of the report and asked me if I would not mind her talking with a lung Doctor that shares in their office spaces. This is just one reason why I choose to have my health care at Emory. Another is I am a Emory Clifton rd. Campus Baby being born there.
