Dr.Khan and Staff are amazing with taking care of their patients in a timely manner. Very very knowledgeable Doctor. I am so glad she did my Surgery. I am glad she is my Doctor. She informed me on every step of Surgery I do wish they would have kept in touch with me or their patients a little more after surgery. For healing process updates. But if I put information in MyChart Her Staff did get back to me same day or Next day.

At my first appointment, she explained everything thoroughly and answered all my questions. She was easy to message through the portal, she was an excellent surgeon. She was encouraging, supportive, and very understandable. My surgery went exactly as she said it would. She encouraged me regarding radiation and oncology.

She had two younger staff members come in and I completed paperwork and they were explaining some things to me. And I learned some things today! Dr, Khan came in and we went over several things in regard to breast surgery. She explained the different types of breast tumors and how different they can look. And that they need to make sure they take extra tissue around the tumor. In our consultation she had a sheet of paper explaining all the steps in which the doctors have to review before making decisions. I had no idea about how much goes into making these decisions. Dr. Khan is a very nice, soft spoken and kind person. She wants her patients to understand how thorough they are before making any final decisions. I would highly recommend Dr. Khan!
