Not sure what to say?

Dr. Farber took care of my great-aunt in 1972 in Minneapolis and he and an internist diagnosed her with Wilson's disease. I found this through family research and thought it would be nice to find him. I know it's been a few years, but I want to give my condolences and say that he was a great doctor who was able to give my g-aunt answers to her strange symptoms.

Hello, my name is Veronica (Ronnie) Markun. I was a patient of Dr. Farber in the 90s and I have been thinking about him so much over the years. I am so sorry to hear that he passed away in 2018 and I never got a chance to thank him. He helped me through through the earlier, terrible years. He was honest with me, went to my doctors appointments with me to try to figure out what was wrong with my head and where my pain was coming from. He went so far out of his way to help me and in the end...

Roger will always be to me the ideal doctor, both bright and kind. I knew him in Minnesota when I began practice. I am grateful to him for making the correct diagnosis on a loved one when consulted much later. He was an inspiration to me throughout my medical career.

Rest in Peace, Gd's good & faithful healer.

I am so sorry to hear that Dr. Farber has passed. I enjoyed very much working with him for ten years and enjoyed our journey. I learned so much from him and have the most fond memories of our time together, changing people's lives both at HUP and the PA Headache and Pain Center. Love and hugs to the family!

I am absolutely broken hearted to have just found out about the passing of Dr. Roger Farber. Dr. fFarber treated me for many years for my migraines and along the way we became friends. He always thought outside the box and wasn't afraid to be creative in his treatment. He actually hooked me up with a pain anesthesiologist @ Penn who performed cryosurgery on 8 nerves outside my brain. The pain was relieved for 7 years until the nerves eventually grew back. During those 7 yrs of relief, I lost...

I'm sorry to hear about Dr Farber.He was the best Dr I had take care of me. I suffered from migraines for a long time almost daily.I was sent to him because no one knew what to do for me short or ER visits often. He saw me a few times a wk and got it worked down to every 6mnts to not at all around time he was retiring. I also had a seizure history and he was able to get my meds to proper doses and proper meds and I haven't suffered since 6months before last visit. His dog was a great...

In loving and cherished memories of a wonderful person who will be missed, may he R.I.P and may you be comforted by prayers, memories and the hope of seeing your beloved again, when all is made new and death is no more.
