Faris became a nurse practitioner because he wanted to help people feel better, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. Over the years, he's developed a special passion for obesity medicine and preventive care, helping patients build sustainable, realistic habits that improve their overall health and quality of life, and he believes healthcare works best when patients feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment.
His approach combines evidence-based medicine with compassionate, individualized care. Faris works closely with patients to create treatment plans that fit their lifestyle, goals, and personal challenges, whether that involves weight management, chronic disease prevention, or primary care needs, and he enjoys being part of a multidisciplinary team, believing long-term success comes from collaboration, education, and trust.
Having immigrated to the United States and rebuilt his life through education and healthcare, Faris understands firsthand how personal experiences, stress, culture, and life circumstances can affect health. Those experiences have shaped him into a clinician who values empathy, authenticity, and meeting patients where they are in their journey.
