Dr. Shah-Khan is wonderful. So personable. You feel like you’ve known her. She is tops in her field. So intelligent but she so easily explains everything you need to know. She is so caring and I’m honored to know her. Many people have told me they’ve heard of her and I couldn’t have a better surgeon. My primary care doctor recommended I see Dr. Shah-Khan and I can’t thank her enough. It’s so important to have a doctor you have complete faith in.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
