Providence Patient
Dr. Arif is my kidney Doctor, I see him 3 times a year and I always have a blood test one week before my appointment, so he can see if I have been taking my pills and eating right. Arif goes over all my blood numbers and tells him how I am doing. Also shows me on the computer screen what he is talking about. It Is very Interesting to me. Then he listens to my heart and my lungs and touches my ankles. To make sure I am doing OK. I am glad I go to Dr Arif for my kidney problems, I always leave to go home with a good feeling from the visit with him.

I have always had good experiences with my Dr
Providence Patient
Dr Arif was the most kind & compassionate Dr we've seen. He was knowledgeable, willing to explain anything asked, patient, & acted like he truly cares about his patients
Providence Patient
Dr. Arif was my mother's nephrologist and I admired then his bedside manner in which I wanted to make sure I would also see him for my own health concerns. He has great customer care and doesn't make you feel like just another patient. I still have yet to hear back regarding my bloodwork but I am assuming I will be informed at the next scheduled visit. Staff is absolutely amazing, from front office to medical assistants. I sincerely wish all Kadlec offices had the exact same customer service as this office.
Providence Patient
Dr. Arif is a wonderful doctor. His care and compassion for his patients. He genuinely cares and wants you to have your best life possible.I was in pretty rough shape kidney wise when I very first met Dr Arif. It got to the point of looking at dialysis for the rest of my life. Wasn't really a fan of that option so he set me on the right path to improving my kidney health and raising my numbers. My Gfr was down to 30. It's been a struggle but I finally made it. At this appointment I got really good news number wise across the board. My Gfr was 77!! Love never have been that high since before they told me that I needed to speak with a nephrologist. I prayed that I would be able to find a competent and compassionate Dr in the Tri-city area and not have to drive for hours to even for care. I did some research and saw Dr. Fareed Arif Nephrologist. I made an appointment which was within a couple weeks. This was back in the early 2007. I wish Providence would hire more Drs like Fareed Arif here at Kadlec Regional medical center in Washington State..

Providence Patient
Dr Arif Fareed has been a tremendous help and source of information that has helped me deal with my CKD better. Not only has he managed my CKD but also caught a very important concern relating to another illness I have that was identified because of his attention to my blood work and sent me to see an Oncologist and am now able to be watched for any developments that could become life threatening. I owe him a great deal for this. He talks to me about all the panels in my lab work and advised me on things to improve my health. He is courteous and frank. I am lucky to have him leading my team of experts.
Providence Patient
Dr Arif is one of the best physicians I have ever dealt with. Enjoy in-person or tele-visits. Very attentive and personal.
Providence Patient
When I have questions between office visits, I use MyChart. That tool is very effective. The doctor and his staff are very good to answer questions promptly. From a larger perspective, he manages and helps me deal with a chronic and degenerating condition with kindness and clarity.

This was a first time visit with Dr. Arif establishing care. I was impressed at how well he knew his prescription drugs, the in-depth approach he took at looking at my prior kidney doctor's notes, tests and my overall health. He ordered several lab tests and also a kidney ultrasound to get a good baseline for me. I feel like I am in very good hands with Dr. Arif and I am happy I chose him for my nephrologist in the Tri Cities!

Providence Patient
Great Doctor very good care.
Providence Patient
Dr. Arif is an excellent doctor. He is completely involved in my kidney care and general health. He tracks what's going on with me even through kchart. I wish Kadlec would hire more doctor like Dr. Arif here in Tri city area in Washington. We have very few quality doctors here. It's impossible to try and at least get into . Here, it's a three month wait across the board. Please hire more quality doctors.
Providence Patient
Very caring & kind. Also talks very fast. Very intelligent!
Providence Patient
No bad experiences with Dr Arif. The video link took a few extra minutes to get started.

Dr Arif went above and beyond his normal practice as he saw something of concern in my Labs and referred me to the Oncologist that found that I had a Blood disorder that may not have been addressed had Dr Arif not alerted me to the abnormality. I will be forever grateful to him for this.
