Dr. Farhat Kokan, MD

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Dr. Kokan. From the start, she failed to provide critical information about the celiac test, neglecting to mention that it requires a gluten-containing diet to be accurate—something I haven't had in over 10 years. She also shamed me for not following up on a referral from six years ago, disregarding the fact that this was right before my husband's passing. When she asked how he died, she physically recoiled and revoked her sympathy upon learning it was due to liver failure—an incredibly inappropriate and unprofessional reaction. Despite my efforts to approach the appointment with humility and clarify that a potential diagnosis had been suggested by a family member (not something I self-diagnosed), she still accused me of being fixated on specific tests. Ironically, when she said she didn’t think I needed them, I immediately agreed—but instead of moving on, she continued to argue against testing I had already accepted not pursuing. She did not listen to my medical history, made me repeat symptoms multiple times, and asked very few questions, leaving me to carry the conversation. The entire appointment left me feeling humiliated, dismissed, and reduced to tears. I would not recommend Dr. Kokan to anyone seeking a compassionate or thorough specialist.

Barely examined me or asked any questions other than looking at the sheet of paper that I didn't even finish completing due to being called in before I was done. Didnt ask me any questions about what i have been dealing with, Im the one that had to initiate the whole conversation. I wouldn't have had any questions answered if I wasn't the one initiating the conversation. I left there feeling more confused about what I'm dealing with and not even sure of she is planning on following up with the test results.

I saw Dr Kokan at her Bloomington MN office. Dr Kokan & her nurse Barb were very thorough, trusted & friendly. She explained everything well & in a not rushed manner. Unlike other Dr's who you can tell are on a strict time constraint, they explained everything very well & to my satisfaction. Their receptionist and office are setting very organized, clean & well run. 5/5 stars for this practice!
