Dr. Khan is one of the best physicians I’ve ever met. His diagnostic accuracy is remarkable—he approaches each case with the precision of an X-ray or MRI, quickly identifying the root cause and prescribing the most effective treatment or therapy. I consulted him for pain in my left shoulder. After carefully assessing my range of motion and resistance strength, he confidently diagnosed it as a simple muscle strain. He assured me that I didn’t need a sling or physiotherapy—just prescribed anti-inflammatory medication, which worked perfectly. Dr. Khan also performed my right knee ACL reconstruction, further demonstrating his expertise and skill. I trust him completely.

I love Dr. Kahn. He has treated my husband for shoulder and knee issues (he repaired his ACL) And he has helped me with minor knee problems. Besides the fact that he is an excellent doctor; he is and even nicer gentleman. He is kind, patient and he takes the time to make you feel at ease about what’s bothering you. He is the best!
