The receptionists and medical assistants are friendly and welcoming, and the waiting time is reasonable. Dr. Khan is highly knowledgeable, attentive, and caring. He takes the time to thoroughly explain the diagnosis and treatment plan without rushing, and he has a personable approach that makes patients feel comfortable and supported.

Excellent Doctor. Serious about his profession. Highly skilled. Dr. Kahn explains things well and is interested in pursuing a non-surgical approach first, if at all possible. Would recommend to anyone needing orthopedic care.

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.
