About Me
Although she was born and raised in Houston, Ms. Farishta has called Shreveport her home since 2019. She became interested in a career in ear, nose and throat care while serving as a scribe after completing her undergraduate education. Her practice is focused on providing compassionate care and informative educational information to patients to improve their health. She is a member of the Society of Physician Assistants in Otorhinolaryngology/Head & Neck Surgery and of the American Academy of Physician Assistants. When she’s not in the clinic, she enjoys reading, spending time with family and friends, and traveling with her husband.
