We have been patients of Dr. Fares for many years. We were saddened to learn of her passing. She was such a warm and very caring person. We will miss seeing her at the clinic. Our condolences go out to her staff and family.

My heart goes out to both her business family and her family. We were away and I just heard. We are still in shock. She was such a great doctor and person. While we were patients, we also felt like we could call her and Anwar friends. You will be greatly missed.

I had the pleasure of having Dr. Fares as my optometrist for many years. Her professionalism, kindness and great sense of humor is my last memory of her; I will always remember how she'd take the time to explain any question I had ,and of course, practice her Spanish as we chatted about her next trip with her family. My deepest condolences to her family.

gerry lowry

condolences; i just found out today when i called her office to ask why i was scheduled to see someone else.

Dalia and Anwar, sorry for your loss.

Your mother treated me very well and imho was very competent and caring.

Life is strange; half a century was not enough time; she deserved much more.

i miss her.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I just heard about Dr. FARES passing and I am deeply saddened. She was such a kind and happy woman who gave her patients the utmost attention. I could tell she loved her profession and helping people maintain good eye health. I will miss her much. God bless Dr. FARES.

My condolences to the family of Dr Faten Fares! Such a great Dr with huge heart and smiles. You will always be remembered for the amazing work you’ve accomplished before departing from this earth. Death is inevitable. May the Lord grant you eternal peace in the great beyond and grant the family you left behind a fortitude to bear the loss ?

I only recently heard of Dr…

I only recently heard of Dr. Fares' passing. I was a patient of hers. Despite moving and not living remotely close to her office anymore, I always kept her as my eye doctor because she was so kind, attentive, and enjoyable to talk with. She would always tell me about her children, what they were up to in school, and how smart they were. I could tell she was such a proud mother. I am so sorry to hear she passed. Sending comfort and prayers to all who loved her.
