The staff are wonderfully friendly and super helpful! I needed an appointment on very short notice due to an injury. Ms. Beatrice & Ms. Laura found a way to get me in with the perfect physician - the next morning!! Dr. Kahn took time with me to answer my questions and address my concerns. I feel like I am in good hands and am being well cared for!!

They bent over backward to get me seen and treated. I felt like I was a priority to Dr. Khan which made the process so much better. Would highly recommend!!!

Dr. Khan has a pleasant personality. He took time to explain to me what options I have and provided a brochure to explain the shoulder replacement surgery information. He wouldn’t, however, say for sure if I need the surgery but sent me to a Physical Therapist to evaluate me again in a few months.

Excellent experience with Dr Khan. He is really personable and spent time listening to me describe my symptoms. He diagnosed the issue and recommended treatment. The office got me in on same day for an urgent issue I was having with severe pain. The checkin staff were pleasant and the young lady that took me back was nice. 5 star experience…Thank You!
