Farhat Kokan, MD
My specialties:
- Allergy and immunology
Professional interests:
- Bites and stings
- Food hypersensitivity
- Latex allergy
My practice philosophy is to help you understand and manage your disease/problem to live life to the fullest.
I am passionate about the outdoors and exercise as it improves overall well-being.
I became a provider to improve health and well-being as they are so important. I decided to become a physician at the age of 10-12 years along with some of my friends who also became physicians.
Something I've learned from my patients is to try to figure out what is most important to them.
If I wasn't a provider I'd be a teacher because I love kids and their eagerness to learn.
My personal health goal is to continue to stay active.
I'm most proud of my two daughters.
A personal achievement is I have travelled to several countries and learned about different people and their cultures.

Dr. Kokan is the best. Kind, caring , explains things in a way that makes sense. Also, I barely sat down and got called! And I don't have to wait much for her to step in the room!
The customer service and knowledge.
I was a bit underwhelmed by the experience.
