Faris Marwan Ali Ghannam, MD

Yes, Dr. Ghannam is very nice. I like him.

I had a good experience

Excellent

Nursing and other pre and post op personnel were excellent

Great quality of care.

This was my 3rd visit with Dr. Ghannam and he always treats me with professionalism, kindness and respect. I find him very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

Dr. Ghannam has been an amazing provider. He's very diligent. He's very careful and takes into account all the comments that I have and concerns. Whenever I first met him, I explained to him that I didn't want to be on too many medications all at once and I wanted to make sure that whatever medications I was taking were doing their job as well as they weren't giving me too many crazy side effects. And he took that very seriously and ensured that whenever he gave me new medications, he would only add one at a time and follow up to ensure that there was no side effects before keeping me on it, as well as he would cross-reference with other medications that if he was planning on adding to make sure that there was no side effects that were occurring between them and he would ask me to pause one and start taking the new one and see if that causes any side effects. So he's very careful.

This was my first visit with Dr Ghannam, my new PCP, and I am so happy that his approach to medicine is what I favor: "Let's fix the problem, not just the symptoms." He listened closely and made recommendations that made sense for me (79). Example: behavior modification for insomnia rather than a sleep aid - and the risk of a fall. Especially important, he has an easy manner, explains everything very well, and communicates so that I can understand. I look forward to my next visit.

They're very good at what they do. I have nothing else to say.

I was grateful to get an appointment quickly and had my problem handled in a positive manner by my provider

This was a follow up visit exam with Dr. Ghannam. He reviewed my areas of concern and the latest results from the MRI and Ultrasounds regarding a growth in my throat. I also had concerns about pain in my big toe which Dr. Ghannam examined. Dr. Ghannam also retook my blood pressure as it is usually high on first measure (do to my anxiety) and lower in second measurement. Dr. Ghannam is very thorough in his examination.

Excellent visit.

I felt very comfortable with Dr Faris Ghannam. It was my first visit and he was very complete and attentive

The doctor is very calming, remembered my general health from my last visit.

Pleasant

My experience with the provider and everyone and the staff was excellent. This is my second visit to the Salem Mass General office on Highland Avenue. I felt that it was very professional. I look forward to coming back. So far, my experience with this clinic and this office has been top-notch. Thank you.

Dr. Ghannam was very knowledgeable about my recent experience and what I had went thru. He thoughtfully explained what my concerns were and reassured me. He made sure I understood and was completely wholeheartedly compassionate and committed to provide me the best care possible. I am grateful for his continued service to my healthcare.

Great visit!

I was pleased he seemed to listen to me. He was kind and I think I made a good choice for a new primary care doctor

Pleased with the experience

I had Dr. [redacted] for years & then she retired. I decided to stay with the practice & was assigned to Dr. Ghannam who was new to the practice. He is very calm & attentive. He is knowledgeable, listens attentively & provides excellent feedback. He follows up immediately with lab results & any suggestions he may have.

Yes, I have nothing but outstanding, outstanding comments to make about my visit with the entire staff at my appointment. I am over the top pleased with everyone's kindness, knowledge, just a very, very positive, happy atmosphere. And I'm very lucky to be able to be included with especially my primary physician, Dr. Ghannam. So I look forward to being back there and having the same quality as I have. Thank you.

Disappointed that Dr. Ghannam didn't fight harder to get me back on drug that changed my life and health. Therefore I decided to find a provider who would.

No problems.

He is very kind

I found Dr Ghannam to be well prepared for our visit and willing to take whatever time was necessary to answer my questions after a recent hospitalization for pneumonia. He was pleasant and approachable.

Dr was great

Dr Ghannam was attentive, professional, and respectful. He recommended the course of action and follow up with my regular PCP.

I HAVE NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL.

My visit from the check-in to the nurse to the doctor was all fine, treated very well, very happy with it. Thank you.

Everything was very professional.

Took time and care in listening to my issues. Explained my diagnosis perfectly.

I was very impressed with how well the entire office was organized. Nothing was overlooked and every test or followup was schedule.

I have usually been very satisfied with this provider, but the newer doctor I saw recently just told me to get an over- the- counter medicine. This did no good and I had to call again. This time my regular doctor called in a prescription for me.

Knowledgable and caring

From the front office staff, to the medical assistant, and the provider. Everyone was very welcoming and informative. Very happy with my experience.

He is a very good professional.

Dr. Ghannam is a very kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable doctor. He listens and responds with the utmost concern for my health issues in a professional and understanding way. I appreciate his professionalism in providing me with a complete understanding of my medical issues. His calm and friendly manner puts my mind at ease. He also is easy to communicate with.

Overall good experience

This was my first visit with this provider. He was professional, courteous and listened to what I had to say. He was respectful and kind.

He's new to me, was with prior MD for 20 years,so it's not as comfortable

I feel confident that I now have a PCP that will provide me with the best care.

I thought that he was great.

First time meeting the doctor as one of his new patients. He has a very nice disposition and made sure he addressed my concerns. Very happy with him.

Very good!!

Dr. Ghannam is very thorough and cares about all your concerns. He always follows up with any appts. he makes with other providers and takes care of setting you up with appointments that day. He then calls you himself about results. We respect that quality about him.

[redacted] Dr Ghannam listened and was attentive. First impressions fine. [redacted]

First visit. Very impressed.

This visit was for my annual physical and I was very pleased with everyone in the office from the receptionist to the nurse and my new doctor. Thank you everyone for my nice experience.

All as it should be.

I had a feeling of hope after seeing him.

He listened well. Repeatedly asked if I understood his recommendations. He responded to all of my concerns and seemed to care that everything was covered.

This was my first time seeing this provider for a yearly well visit and compared to my previous doctor. The exam was not thorough at all. We had some brief conversation and that's all he did was listen to my breath sounds and heart with stethoscope. He didn't look in my ears, mouth or eyes, he did not palpate my abdomen, and he did not do a testicular exam all of which were done yearly from my previous PCP. I just felt like the physical was extremely brief and subpar.

They are professional and respectful, I do not regret for waiting this long to finally meet them.

I saw Dr. Ghannam for the first time last week. He will be my new PCP. And I was so happy with my experience. He is very smart, very caring. He has such a nice way about him. And I felt immediately at ease and very comfortable with him and very happy that I found a new PCP that I am so comfortable with. And, um, you know, I, I feel very confident that he, um, knows, you know, very, you know, uh, intelligent and, um, and I like that he's so humble and kind.

The doctor was very pleasant and a good listener. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a new doctor.

I liked this doctor,but felt that our discussion of my presenting symptoms got sidetracked when he noticed something else. The something else was a benign chronic condition. It's to his credit that he noticed it,but I didn't feel as if I got enough info about how to treat the issue that was bothering me.

Dr. Ghannam saw me in place of my regular doctor since she was out of the office on maternity leave. An he was kind enough to see me without having a scheduled appointment.

I had just switched doctors and was very impressed with the staff at this location very helpful all and the doctor was very thorough also checking my medical history thank you all ?

Was a little concerned about Dr. [redacted]'s replacement, but Dr. Faris is perfect.

This provider was great, professional, knowledgeable. He addressed all of [redacted] concerns and he did the proper referral for the specialist. I was extremely happy, I was satisfied with the visit.

Very professional

Excellent!

Very pleased with this DR. Who filled in for my regular PCP

This was my first annual physical with my new doctor. I was very pleased with him and his thorough discussion of my medical history and current health.

He was very thorough and kind.

Very friendly this time everyone

I like the doctor very much. I never thought I would like anyone as much as I liked Dr. [redacted], but he is doing a good job with my care. I give him a 10.

I think Dr. Ghannam is professional, informed and most importantly to me, empathetic.

Dr. Ghannam was very friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly, he was a very good listener. He was up to speed in all of my issues, which are many, and I'm glad I was able to finally connect with him. So going forward, I'm in good shape with Dr. Ghannam. He's a good doctor. I like him a lot.

He was very clear with about my diagnosis and how I should be proactive in trying to correct it

He is my new primary care doctor.He checks all the boxes and I like him.

Amazing person, very easy to talk to!

He discusses with me all my aspects of life, my general health, my work, my leisure, and he's very good. Thank you.

He was polite and friendly and respectful ... no complaints at all
