Elizabeth Farhat, MD, is a board-certified dermatologist with professional interests in acne, aging skin, children, eczema, infections, medical dermatology, preventative care, psoriasis, skin cancer and surgery. She offers face-to-face virtual visits for a variety of health services and conditions.
Practice philosophy: Healthy skin is important for wellness. I believe in prevention, early detection and treatment. Each person's skin health creates an overall sense of well-being.
What are you passionate about? I love figuring out difficult diagnoses and helping patients to improve their skin. Seeing how life-changing our work can be makes every day worthwhile.
If I wasn't a provider, I would be an investigative reporter. When doing research on blood-type tattoos, I enjoyed delving into the past and figuring out the truth.
Why did you become a provider? I love science and figuring out answers to difficult problems. I love helping people solve issues with their skin and figuring out different solutions.
Something I have learned from my patients is that I am so impressed by their strength. Hearing about their daily struggles is humbling and I am thrilled with the ways we can improve their lives.
What are a few of your personal achievements? I have appeared numerous times on both radio and TV for my expertise on skin cancer and skin care.
