About
Philosophy of care
I view the practice of medicine as a team approach. In the course of my medical career, I have found that patients play an equally important role in their own health and healing as their physician. I often find that a motivated patient simply needs the guidance of a trusted physician to help them live their healthiest life.
Why I entered medicine
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a physician. I have always been drawn to this profession because it allows you to demonstrate compassion towards those when they need it the most.
Community involvement
Prior to medical school and during my medical training, I worked and volunteered much of my time in the field of child psychiatry. I have worked and volunteered at several different residential camps and facilities in the northeast for children with severe emotional disorders and families in crisis. I have also volunteered at Birthright- a foundation that supports for pregnant woman who have decided to carry unwanted pregnancies to term as well as the Boys and Girls club of America.
Personal interests
When I am not working or chasing after my four- and five-year-old sons, I enjoy hiking, doing Pilates exercises, and practicing Transcendental Meditation.

Comments
"I am very pleased with the quality and promptness of the medical care and attention I receive from LVPG Internal Medicine-West Broad. Dr. Farrell is an outstanding physician and provides personal and professional attention to me. All of the staff are both professional and friendly. I can't say enough about the quality of care I received from Dr. Farrell and her staff. I have regularly recommended the practice to friends and family--several family (and extended family) members are patients of the practice."
"Love Dr Farrell"
