Farhood Farjah, MD, MPH

Dr. Farjah is a thoracic surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive surgery for lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and other lung diseases.

Patient Care Philosophy:

Patients seek out specialists for various reasons—symptoms, a diagnosis, a cure, advice on further testing, a first, second, or even third opinion on disease management, specialized treatment, follow-up, palliation, and/or hope. I am committed to understanding patients’ goals and helping them achieve their goals using my training and experience, as well as my network of colleagues and healthcare resources.
