Nathan Fairman

Dr. Fairman had been treating my son with epilepsy that can on from the removal of a brain tumor that was discovered about 4 years ago. He has been nothing but patient, helpful, and professional with my son as he struggle with this new life altering condition. He truly listens and offers the best treatment.

Dr. Fairman's treatment towards patients facing serious illnesses is questionable. He diagnosed a young female thyroid cancer patient with cognitive distortions and an eating disorder when she expressed concerns about a visible post-surgical neck scar and post-operative weight gain. Because of Dr Fairman's actions, this woman transferred her care from the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center to the Stanford Cancer Center where her medical team reassured her that her concerns were normal, common, and typical of patients (especially young female patients) facing a thyroidectomy. She ceased care with UC Davis, became a patient of Stanford, and sought counseling to cope with Dr. Fairman's assertions/actions towards her. Dr. Fairman contributed to this young woman's distress and compounded the trauma of a cancer diagnosis with an unsubstantiated mental health diagnosis. Dr. Fairman appears to exhibit unethical behavior in his daily medical practice. It would be beneficial for Dr. Fairman to research the medical conditions his patients are facing before makes a diagnosis, passes judgement, and prescribes a treatment plan. Dr. Fairman showed no knowledge of thyroid cancer which impacted his credibility and his efficacy in the patient's eyes.

I was referred to Dr. Fairman when I was having difficulty coping with a cancer diagnosis. Dr. Fairman's low affect demeanor and lack of functional knowledge of my medical condition was highly off-putting. When I requested my medical records after my visit, I was shocked that Dr. Fairman had omitted and downplayed key information regarding my medical history that gave me credibility and validity as a patient. His dictation notes were very biased and misrepresented me. Deeply regrettable.
