    Dr. Farhat remembers you, and your condition so that there was no need to explain your condition, and wait for her to come up with treatment.

  • Mar 18, 2025

    Very professional. My experience with Dr. Farhat was exceptional. Great doctor, very knowledgeable about her practice and concern for her patients.

  • Jul 18, 2024

    Dr. Farhat, a dermatologist, almost immediately identified the skin condition that caused the wound and prescribed a treatment that seems to be working.
