Dr Khan patiently and throughly explained my diagnosis. She used pictures to reinforce what she was sharing. She shared the options fir post-surgical treatment. She answered my questions as well as those of my niece who accompanied me for support. She reviewed my family history, and we discussed whether there was a need for genetic testing for my daughter. The day of surgery she explained a chane in the surgical plan and why. She was reassuring. I was less anxious because of her care and attention to detail.

She takes her time to explain everything. Plus she gave me this book on breast cancer. I felt horrible l, but I asked her if I needed to read the whole book. However, I found it very interesting and I am planning to read more. While I was getting prepped for surgery, the staff was conversing with each other and they seemed so relaxed. They knew what they were doing! Then Dr. Khan came in and surgery began. She's always so calm. I would gladly recommend Dr. Khan as an excellent doctor and surgeon.
