Repaired my "Frozen shoulder" very friendly, caring physician, office staff very nice, very busy office, so be prepared for a long wait, even wiappointment ntment read more

I saw Dr. Khan more than a decade ago for pain in my wrist from a combination of bowling and repetitive computer work with a mouse. Very nice, seemingly trusting, and charismatic guy. After a few tests he concluded that I definitely need Carpal Tunnel Surgery. I decided not to do that I sought alternative medicine including Physical Therapy, Chiropractor, Massage, and Acupuncture. I'm happy to report that I'm just fine 10+ years later and doing all the things I love to do. Another reviewer here said he's too eager to push for surgery which I agree with. Seek a second opinion. Give it some time and try alternative solutions. Surgery is always a risk you're not guaranteed to be back to 100%. And it will save you lots of money as well. read more

My experience with Dr Khan was excellent, he did my arthroscopic left knee, after 5 months my knee was like brand new. After that I had a bad fall, unfortunately now I need a replacement sadly Dr Khan doesn't do replacements, I would love for him to do my surgery again, my re-injury it's my bad luck. He did an extremely good job. I 1000% recommend him. I think He's not only the best, but he's very caring with his patients, he was attentive calling me before he went on vacation to make sure everything was ok. He's super sweet he always greets you with a smile & makes you feel confident, answers all your questions with a lot of patience. I'm very grateful to him. God bless you & your miracle hands Dr Khan read more

Absolutely great orthopedic surgeon. Performed Achilles tendon repair and it's been stronger than my old one. Haha.

Thank you all for being wonderful and kind, you made my whole experience 5 star! God bless you all and more power! Micaela Melano read more

Dr. Khan is very professional, nice, kind, knowledgeable, listener to his patients. He patiently listened to my concerns and he patiently explained and answered all my concerns and issues. read more

Shortly after my surgery the repair failed and my shoulder started dislocated worse than before. This doctor did not discuss the negatives and said this was a routine surgery. I had to get another surgery to repair the damage he did and my shoulder will never be the same. I wish I had gotten a second opinion. Too eager to do surgery. read more

This was my first office visit with Dr Shabi Khan. I was here to get a second opinion.......It was the best experience I ever had in a doctor's office. Dr. Khan is EVERYTHING you would expect from a medical care professional. It was obvious to me he is genuinely interested in the wellbeing of his patients. His ability to communicate with his patients is remarkable. He took his time answering my questions. Dr. Khan, thank you for being the kind, caring, compassionate and very knowledgeable Dr. you are. You far exceeded my expectations!!. Your office staff is also very friendly and welcoming! read more

Dr. Khan has performed 2 surgeries on my brother, wrist and achilles tendon. He is by far, one of the most pleasant medical professionals my family and I have ever met. You meet these professionals in the medical industry and you get the feeling that they really could care less about you, you're just another patient. The staff working there is very nice as well, a girl by the name of Sophia/Sophie had a great energy about her that made an impression on me. Overall, my family is very blessed and thankful we found Dr. Khan, despite the circumstances in which we had to see him. On behalf of my family, thank you Dr. Khan. read more

FIVE STARS for Dr. Khan - he is super approachable, knowledgable and takes the time to listen and explain what is happening and what can be done. I was happy with the level of care I received from him but won't return because the office Peninsula Orthopedic Association in Daly City where he works, is just not something I want to deal with as a patient. Wait time - ok, it happens and I can put up with although, every time waiting 30+ minutes in the waiting room, then another 20+ in the exam room, defeats the purpose of making an appointment. But the cost transparency there is just the worst. It took 3 inquiries alone to get a vague procedure cost estimate which, even though a procedure is needed, I still would like to have an idea what it'll cost before I am committing to it. read more

Dr Shabi Khan is the best, He is sweet caring & definitely knows what to do. I have has several surgery with him & every one has been a great success. Nancy read more

Dr. Shabi Kahn is a kind and patient Doctor who really listens and cares about his patients. I had a torn rotator cuff and after the surgery and completing physical therapy, I was able to raise my arm. I highly recommend Dr. Shari Kahn. read more

WOW, this office is wonderful. Dr. Kahn is very impressive with his surgical skills as well as his interpersonal skills, he listens and has an x-ray machine as well as MRI on site. I agree with others that the wait seems long, usually, but this guy, this office e.g. the P.A. or the Nurse Practitioner are all great. I highly recommend this office. read more

In the words of James T. Kirk: "Khaaaaaaaaaan!" And I yell that at the top of my lungs , from the highest mountain, with the deepest admiration. Because unlike the Khan in the Star Trek movie, THIS Khan RESCUED me from The Planet of Hip Pain, from which I thought I had been marooned for all eternity by Dr. Saffron at Stanford. All sci-fi puns aside, I will give you my review in a nutshell and my long review. In a nutshell: Dr. Shabi Khan is TERRIFIC, and DO NOT HESITATE to go to him. He fixed the torn cartilage in my hip and shaved down my bone spur one year ago. I have been fantastic ever since. Able to do everything I did before. Dr. Khan gave me my life back. If I ever have another hip, knee, or shoulder problem, I will definitely go to see him. I wish there were more Dr. Khans in this world. Has Dr. Saffron told you that he won't operate on you? Sheesh, FORGET HIM! Go see Dr. Khan. He will fix you!!!! Long Review One day, out of the blue, my groin/inner thigh began hurting. I thought I had somehow pulled a muscle. To make a long story short, an MRI eventually revealed that I had torn the cartilage (labrum) in my hip. It will not heal by itself; you need to have it fixed. My regular orthopedist told me that this is a very specialized arthroscopic operation, and only a few doctors in the Bay Area do it. He recommended Dr. Saffron at Stanford. It took a month to get an appointment with Dr. Saffron. I fully expected him to tell me about the surgery he was going to do. Instead, he dropped a bomb on me. He told me that, based on the x-rays he'd done that day, I had too much arthritis in the hip to operate. "Save yourself the trouble," he told me, "and get a hip replacement instead." WHAT??!! I'm only 52 years old and you want to saw off my hip joint? As you can imagine, I was totally shocked and began sobbing right there in his office. Who would do the replacement? He recommended Dr. Goodman. So I made an appt with Dr. Goodman. That took another month of waiting. When Dr. Goodman saw me and did a mobility test on me and looked at my MRIs and X-rays, he said, "What are you doing here?" I wasn't a candidate for a hip replacement. But nobody at Stanford would operate on my hip to fix the torn labrum, because they all go along with Dr. Saffron's opinion. (I liked Dr. Goodman, by the way. He seemed like a very good doctor and has a good reputation for hip replacements). Anyway, that left me between a rock and a hard place. Here I was, at age 52, doomed to a life of pain and hardship until my hip got so screwed up that I would eventually need a replacement. And who knew how long that might take -- 10 years? Just go home and suffer. I had already done physical therapy and it was obvious to me that the only way I was going to get better was to have the the torn labrum fixed and the bone spur removed. You can't imagine how depressed I got. Seriously, I had to get on an SSRI. I found Dr. Smollens here through Yelp and made an appt with him. He is a pain management doctor. Dr. Smollens was very compassionate and recommended Dr. Khan. I had never heard of Dr. Khan. I had already seen Dr. Sampson in San Francisco, and he was willing to operate on me, but he doesn't take insurance and I couldn't afford his $35k fee. I didn't know who else around here did arthroscopic surgery on hips. I was looking specifically for a hip specialist, and Dr. Khan did shoulders, knees, and hips. But I figured that since I had to look outside of Stanford, I would give Dr. Khan a try, especially since he was covered by my insurance. Within 5 minutes of the appointment with Dr. Khan I knew that I had found my surgeon. He was compassionate, knowledgeable, and told me that he does 2 to 4 hip scopes per week. He had been doing it for more than 10 years. That seemed like enough experience for me. Plus I just got a good feeling from him. Two months later, I had the surgery. I have had a few surgeries in my life: foot, shoulder (calcium deposits), and sinus. All were miserable recoveries. I expected that recovering from hip surgery would be even worse. But in all honesty, it was the easiest recovery that I've ever had. I was only on crutches for 3 days! THREE DAYS! After that I was walking on my own. I didn't need to take narcotics. The pain was easily controlled with Advil and Tylenol in alternating doses. I didn't need physical therapy afterward. I already knew the exercises and stretches from earlier in the year. I just carefully did them at home, slowly working up my endurance and flexibility. Dr. Khan is great. His Surgery Center in Daly City is great. All around, it was a very positive experience. And what's more, other doctors go to him. My dermatologist told me that Dr. Khan was going to fix her shoulder. Sometimes he may seem rushed, but that's only because he's busy. He knows his stuff! So don't hesitate. If you've been given the run-around by Dr. Saffron, or can't afford Dr. Sampson, definitely see Dr. Khan. HE THE MAN!! read more

As of today, it's been 2 weeks and 1 day since my knee surgery, and I couldn't be happier with the result thus far. I originally hurt my knee over 15 years ago playing volleyball and it's been slowly getting worse over the years so I figured it was time to see if it could be fixed. I found Dr. Khan to be very friendly and genuinely interested in figuring out what was wrong. After explaining my story to him, and answering his questions, he sent me across the hall for x-rays. He then read the x-rays right there in the same exam room and determined that I should get an MRI because my issue was not a bone issue. I went across the hall and made an appt for an MRI for a few hours later that same day, in the evening (so convenient to get it all done on the same day and in the same building!). The following week, I went back to see him again to get the results of the MRI - he found the problem! Plica syndrome and meniscus tear. He recommended arthroscopic surgery, which I scheduled. My experience with his office has been mostly great. For one of my appointments, I had to wait over an hour (which sucked) but honestly, the minute he came into the exam room that day, all my irritation just melted away because of his great bedside manner and apparent excitement at fixing me. The office sends appointment reminders via email and phone message, and you can fill out all your forms ahead of time, thus lessening the paperwork when you are there. They were also totally on the ball with filling out all the required paperwork for my disability leave from work. Ray Khan, Dr. Khan's assistant is also wonderful, and patiently answered all of my questions. That guy has a great personality :) My experience with the surgery center was wonderful. Everyone was very nice, explained everything (I had a lot of questions - first real surgery), and my anesthesiologist, Dr. White, was particularly good. I was scared of waking up early, and he assured me he would be there the whole time and would see to it that that didn't happen. When I woke up in recovery, I saw him and he said "I told you I wouldn't let you down!" Dr. Khan himself (not his staff) has called me multiple times since the surgery to check on me, even giving me his cell phone number. In this day and age, I never expect to talk to my doctor unless I'm in his office (is that sad or what) so this was a refreshing breath of fresh air. So even though I still have a ways to go before 100% recovery, I would already recommend Dr. Khan to anyone that needs a knee fixed. read more

Yes, there are wait times (15-45 minutes) and MANY patients come through the doors at suite 330. But look, nothing against some other patients; but there are a few that really jam things up for everybody. You just walk in off the street with no referral? You don't have any of your information in order and you're an hour late then you throw a fit when you have to wait 20 minutes? I guess you can't blame that on anybody; Old people in pain can't think clearly. That's standard for ANYWHERE you go in healthcare and medicine. My hat goes off to healthcare professionals for tolerating it. But should the aforementioned be your biggest concern when you have an injury and you're facing surgery? You want an expert with credentials and experience. I knew I was in good hands after Dr. Kahn gave me my first cortisone shot. Just because he moves quickly doesn't mean he isn't doing quality work. Because my injury was job related we had to fight the insurance company and make an appeal because their 'objective' out of State 'doctor' (who never saw me in person) said I was 'fine'. The way Insurance companies operate is sickening. After suffering for nearly 6 months, Kahn and his assistants won the appeal for me. I thought I was going to have to Lawyer up for a minor surgery! It's been six days since my subacromial decompression and labral debridement, and I'm astonished at how good I feel (considering I just had a shoulder operation). I probably have 60% range of motion with NO pain and can push it a bit further before I start howling. That's remarkable! I bet if I didn't have the minor cartilage tear I might be playing fetch with the dog throwing overhand. Of course it's going to be a month or three of serious physical therapy to work out all the kinks to return back to my hardcore physical job. Unfortunately my other shoulder is starting to show degenerative changes. But if it comes down to going under the scope again (it's not a knife), I'll be seeing Dr. Kahn. TIP: I visited the Foster City location on a Saturday morning... no wait and more face time. read more

The guy is way overbooked. No offense to Dr. Khan's medical skills, but the guy barely gives you more than a minute of his time. He just sorta was in and out, not really any time to discuss anything or even think about the implications of he's telling you. Also, you'd think that if he was rushing so much, he'd be on time to his appointments, but every time I went, I waited for 20-30 minutes in the waiting room, and then I was basically shuffled into a room and waited for another 20-30 minutes in the examination room. My last appointment took 2 hours of waiting before I finally just gave up and went home. If the time isn't convenient, you shouldn't have booked the time. read more

Dr Khan, my time to me is as valuable and important to me as your time is to you. That being said, imagine my surprise when I was talking to another patient in your waiting room and discovered that we both had appointments with you and at the same time. I had to be your first appointment for the morning, but I still had to wait 20 minutes to see not you, but one of your assistants. I hope your bill reflects that. read more

After having arthroscopic right knee surgery by a San Mateo orthopedic surgeon that did more damage than good ( proven by an MRI) and after having visited an arrogant orthopedic physician in Burlingame, who thought knee replacement was the answer to everything without ever viewing an MRI, I found Dr. Khan. He took a new MRI, viewed and discussed all my options clearly with me and did an arthroscopic knee surgery to clean up the mess caused by physician #1. I had very little swelling compared to months of swelling after the first surgery. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Khan and the entire staff at this Daly City site. It is run like a well oiled machine with a very human touch. read more

Dr. Khan preformed shoulder surgery on me about a month ago and from the first time I saw him and last week when I stopped by he has been fantastic! The surgery went great and his follow up care has been great. He called me a few hours after my surgery. Top notch care! Highly recommend him. Thank you! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Khan's for many years and I think he is a great doctor. Dr. Khan has been working with me regarding my back pain and within a matter of one office visit, and a procedure later I am pain free. I feel like he really cares about it his patients and does his best to help you. I've seen most Doctors, as well As Physician Assistants at Peninsula Orthopedics Associates and have no complaints at all. I just spoke with Jennifer at the office and she is great too. I had to get something taken care of and she helped me immediately, resolving my problem with the snap of her fingers. I really appreciate her making me feel like a priority and seeing to getting things done and not passing it on to someone read more

This guy actually has pretty good bedside manner, which seems pretty IMPOSSIBLE to find in a Doctor these days. The down side is he seems like he has too many patients on his plate. He jumps around a lot during your visit, which isn't really too bad but perhaps he should try to reduce his patient list. He looks you in the eye and talks to you as if he cares, which to expect a stranger to really care about you is too high of an expectation, but he sure makes you feel like he does which is all I could ask for in a Doctor. He is upbeat and pleasant and seems to enjoy his profession, not just in it for the money. I can't give him a perfect score but he is really good and I highly recommend him if you have to go to him. Too bad he isn't a general Doctor that I could see more often. The people answering the phones and doing the appointments are either very overwhelmed or just slow. It is really hard to get a hold of someone. Out of 3 appointments, I had to wait for a call back on two which came two days after the original call. The third was the same day but I still had to leave a message and wait for a call back. They are nice girls, not rude, but just slow with the service. read more

Dr. Khan and his entire staff are awesome!! From my first appointment through knee surgery every meeting made me feel cared for and safe. Maria, who handled the insurance stuff, was friendly and on her game. The receptionists are all very polite and have check in down to a science. Dr. Khan's assistant always greets me by my first name, and acts like he is happy to see me. He is such a nice man. The surgery team were great too. I felt so cared for while under their supervision. The anesthesiologist, was so polite and took extra time to make sure I was comfortable. Following the surgery, Dr. Khan called my home to check up on me, In addition to his call, the post surgery nurse and Dr. Khan's assistant also called. I couldn't have wished for a better team of professionals to take care of me. Highly recommended. read more

An update to a previous review from last year. As my condition worsens I have been back to see Dr. Khan a few times. He is just so easy to deal with and makes things so clear. My disease cannot be controlled and sometimes I need shoulder and hip surgeries. I won't go into details because it is rare and I doubt anyone has this bone issue to this level. Recently, his Nurse Practitioner, Angie, gave me shots in my hip to temporarily get me through severe pain. I need complete hip replacements. Dr. Khan had me X-Rayed and MRI'd simultaneously with the shots and saw that replacement needed to happen ASAP. He is such a great diagnostician and surgeon. Unfortunately, he doesn't personally do hip replacements. But he got me to live 11 years on one hip and 10 years on the other with previous surgeries to live pain free. I was too young to have replacements but now it is inevitable. He worked the latest diagnosis up quickly and his staff was, as always, responsive. I just have to let people know that if you have ortho issues, Dr. Khan is amazing - I don't use that word often. SEE HIM FIRST - HE IS HONEST AND A TOP EXPERT IN HIS FIELD! I now have to have replacements but that's my rare disease, not him. Still, he took me through 15 years of "fire in my bones" before I now need replacements around my body. I have had a quality life because of him. BTW-Dr. Khan predicted everything years ago almost to exact dates but spared me getting multiple replacements with his skillful repair surgeries. Thanks Dr. Khan and Staff. You are the best! read more

PROS: Great doctor, great surgeon, great bedside manner, great support staff. Young and talented. Caring and professional. Can't say enough great things about Dr. Khan. I've recommended him to family and friends. CONS: Very busy office and I think Dr. Khan probably has too many patients. I sometimes feel my appointments are rushed and thats probably because there are 10-15 patients in the wait room also waiting to see him. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Khan's for the last several years and he is the most caring physician I have ever visited! The most I have had to wait is about 45 minutes and that is unusual. YES, he has a lot of patients because he is foremost in his field, studied at top universities, and his patients love him! He operated on a torn miniscus and it healed in a fantastically short period of time...he is always concerned about the patient's wellbeing. I now see him a few times a year for checkups on my knee which is like new ...and I am seventy years old with no knee problems, thanks to this terrific surgeon. I am completely shocked to see negative reviews from people who not only are practically illiterate in the English language but who have stupid reasons for their complaints. You whiners should go back to your own countries and see what medical treatment you get there!! read more

Dr. Khan is the best orthopedic surgeon I have been to - ever! As a parachutist and free flight enthusiast, I have attained several major injuries that required orthopedic care. Of those injuries, Dr. Khan fixed both my shoulders - torn labrums in each with additional bone growth due partly to genetics and partly to trauma over the years. Dr. Khan successfully diagnosed both shoulders and I had surgery on both over a two year period - the smaller tear progressed over time and we kept a watch on pain levels and discomfort to determine the proper time to operate on the 2nd shoulder. I have also referred 4 other people to him and they all had great experiences. Yes, you have to wait, but would you rather walk right into the office of a shitty doctor that is going to misdiagnose and cause you months or years of pain and time, or would you rather wait an hour or two in order to live pain free after a painless surgical procedure by a highly sought after doctor? Your choice. Cheers, JJ read more

Dr khan is amazing!! His office staff and physicians assistants in his office are amazing and caring !! Tracey the lady who does the DME is really responsive and supportive!! Amy the surgery liaison is amazing and extremely responsive!! Just had rotator cuff surgery and have had 3 calls to make sure that I was doing well! Dr khan called me the night of my surgery and he didn't reach me so he called my sister to check on me. This was a work injury and dealing with workers compensation can be horribly frustrating but Marina the workers comp coordinator is amazing and very responsive in making sure all of the documentation is submitted actually and in a timely manner. I'm so thankful to have such an amazing and supportive doctor and his team to help me through this process!! read more

Dr. Khan did 2 subacromial compressions on me - one on each shoulder. Him and his assistant Rehan gave me a lot of attention and though they are clearly busy, I did feel as though all of my questions were answered. My left shoulder also had a rotator cuff tear which Dr. Khan found during my decompression and repaired, and I must say my left shoulder feels perfect. My right shoulder apparently did not have a cuff tear, and while the debridement and decompression appears to have helped, my right shoulder still has some pain (surgery was 9 months ago). I was very faithful about follow up and PT. The pain does appear to be lessening up so maybe I'll write a more glowing review in the future. Why I am only giving 3 stars is primarily because I was supposed to be on disability through the beginning of September 2011 (Rehan said sure, we'll fill out all the paperwork), but it actually ran out in mid July and I wasn't paid for about 6 weeks. Shitty. This aside, I'd give the medical care 4 stars. I would recommend him, just be VERY careful about getting the disability paperwork squared away. read more

It has been 14 months since my surgery for a torn meniscus. Probably will always have some strange sensation, but the improvement is 100%. Full range of motion, climbing hills, and long distance hiking. There was never a trace of swelling or infection. A beautifully healing surgery done by Dr. Kahn. For anyone considering this surgery, I can confidently recommend Dr. Kahn. The staff is organized and efficient, with great bedside manner. For every appointment, I had a text, voicemail, and email to confirm. At times there could be a wait. I think that's normal for a doctors office... Stuff happens. Well worth it. 5 stars! read more

5 stars for the surgery. Khan is great, and results were fantastic. Zero for the office. Always a ridiculously long wait, like they want to bring you to your breaking point and then move you into another room... then repeat. At least an hour to be seen, even for simple stuff like pre-op basic instructions and picking up your prescriptions that take only like two minutes. Seriously? Office needs much better management... I've nearly just left twice. read more

Injured at work with a bad shoulder injury in June 2011 back at work in Jan 12 . Dr Shabi Khan & Ray Khan the entire staff are the Best of the best.. Bar none I did my research. Everyone said he was A++++++++ Doctor (The Best in the Bay). Everything including my surgery ran like a Rolex watch. Smooth like a second, hand from the first day to the last day. Dr Khan & Ray has this wonderful positive being persona ( smile on their face and happy to see you) Anytime, I called for a question. or refilled meds (Thanks Fortune) they took car of it the same day. Dr Shabi Khan, Ray & the entire office (Surgery staff). THANK YOU read more

I was in a bad car accident: head-on, high speed collision. My knee was rammed into the dashboard at ~ 60mph. I couldn't walk on that leg for a couple of weeks; was only able to limp on it for the next couple of months. My doctors and I decided to wait and see if the situation fixes itself. After about six months, the knee, although fully functional for things like walking, jogging, and even some sprinting, still wasn't good enough to lift weights. The "wait and see" period has expired and it was time to find a surgeon to figure out what's wrong and fix it. I discovered that a small yet notable fraction of surgeons would not even speak to me because my injury is the result of a car accident. It could potentially lead to them being required to testify if said car accident turns into a law suit and/or a court case. One surgeon I contacted didn't mind however, requested that I pay 100% of all costs up front and file for reimbursement with my insurance provider on my own. I understand that doctors didn't get into medicine to waste time in court however, the sheer commonness of the refusal to treat based on the circumstances of the injury borders on unethical; in my view. Needless to say, Dr. Khan didn't bat an eye, didn't ask whether the case was settled, didn't care about much else than the physical (as opposed to legal) circumstances of the injury. He listened to my story, asked about my PT, examined the knee manually, asked me to do a few simple movements, and took an X-ray, which immediately revealed the reason for the pain and debilitation. Contrary to the surgeon lore, Dr. Khan didn't say: "Oh yeah, you need surgery" two seconds after looking at the X-Ray. In fact, he spent about 10-15 minutes trying to understand why I wanted the surgery if the knee doesn't bother me during regular activity. I explained that I'm an avid sprinter and weightlifter. He then proceeded to cover a couple of non-surgical options. I asked numerous questions about success rates of various procedures, recovery periods, and expected results. Dr. Khan answered all of my questions and gave hard numbers, not the usual "the chances are pretty good." At the end of the initial appointment, we shook hands and Dr. Khan said that should I call his office and schedule another appointment if I elect any of the procedures discussed. What I'm trying to convey in this paragraph is that Dr. Khan didn't rush to surgery just because he's a surgeon and I came in wanting one. He diligently studied my case so as not to perform an unnecessary surgery. After an MRI, we met again and he was able to lock down the type of the procedure required. It has been two months since the surgery. My knee is already better than it has been any time since the accident and keeps progressively improving. Every week I gain strength and range of motion. Dr. Khan is an excellent surgeon and I highly recommend him and his practice. read more

If youre into surgeries, this is the guy. He'll be more than happy to dive right in & "fix" something regardless if thats the reason you came to him or not. Like many other YELPers have said, the amount of time you actually see the doctor will be very brief (less than 5 minutes, usually) & when you come back on for your post-surgery followup, you get his dismissive brother attending to you, patting you on the head saying "shhh shhh, everything is ok" instead of the actual guy that supposedly went to medical school, ok *maybe* he went to medical school too but hes not the sports medicine "expert" I paid to see. I went in to my doc for a persistent back-of-leg/knee joint problem, he wasnt in so I saw the nurse practitioner, she said "Oh, you need to see Dr Kahn, he will get you back on your feet in no time!". I see the Dr Kahn, I got the cortisone shot & did the PT, finally an MRI was done & there was scar tissue & a frayed meniscus found. He told me that was my problem, I questioned why the back of my leg would hurt if there was a problem with my knee cap/meniscus, he said that was the issue & I believed him. Directly after the surgery my leg still hurt & I was told it would be a year until Im all heeled up. Fast-forward to 2 years later, Im still in pain, cant play disc golf, cant hike up hills, have problems riding my mtn bike even walking across a parking lot can be excruciating. I go back to my doc & see him instead of the nurse practitioner, he talks to me for about 5 minutes, I till him where the pain is & the lump I feel on the side of my knee when its really flaring up & he immediately says " oh, IT Band syndrome...here, do these stretches & youll be fine in 4-6 weeks". Turns out this is a VERY common injury, especially for someone that does that kind of sports I do. So Dr Kahn-Sports-Medicine guy couldnt diagnose after 5-6 visits, an x-ray, a cortisone shot & an MRI (or didnt want to diagnose my problem) that my regular doc figured out in 5 minutes, he instead found a reason to cut me open, drain $1500 from my checking account for the surgery when all I had to do is some goddamn stretches & proper icing/rest to fix the problem. What a money-hungry hack. Avoid at all costs or at bare minimum, get a solid second opinion. read more

Dr. Khan is amazing! He performed successful reconstructive ACL surgery on my left knee in August 2013 using a cadaver graft. I deducted one star for my experiences at Dr. Khan's post-operative appointments. Granted he is a very popular and busy doctor, but I almost always felt rushed out of his office after waiting for long periods of time in the waiting room despite having an appointment. I would regularly wait close to an hour, just for him to shake my hand and answer a couple of questions. Regardless, he still gets four stars because it is two years after the surgery and I feel great! I am back to playing basketball thanks to the magician they call Shabi Khan! On a side note, I highly recommend NOT choosing POA's rehabilitation program. The physical therapists there are awful, condescending, rude, and reckless. read more

guess mine was the case of the one in a million. Artho for severed ACL and torn meniscus, which presumably went well; I'll never know because infection set in quickly and because he didn't properly treat it or follow through adequately (despite an MD's daily calls for him to see for himself, he saw it after a week, declared it fine with the infection clearing up). So not the case. After the course of antibiotic treatments infection was still raging and he just wanted to change oral antibiotics. Another orthopedic second opinion doctor took over and within days had 3 subsequent clean out surgeries of the 'successful?' operation. Spent two months in a rehab facility during which I was terminated from my job (too much time out from work) and two staph infections, one of them being MRSA (highly infectious and dangerous). Met with my primary and he said there is more ortho surgery to come to fix this mess so he encouraged me to follow-up with second opinion doctor. So with all these months of pain and grief, looks like there is still much more to come. If only he would have been more vigilant in treating this infection and not being so dismissive about it.... to Dr. Khan's credit, he did take the time out and visit me at the rehab facility every Sunday afternoon. I do like his bedside and think he felt guinely bad about what I was having to endure but at the end of the day it is my problem to deal with for as long as it takes. Update: Fast forward to October: Met with the second opinion doctor and he told me that not only was the ligament badly infected but the infection also spread to the bone. No wonder I was on IV Vancomycin for over a month; didn't realize it was that bad! We are discussing full knee replacement at this point but because of the infected bone, the failure rate has increased... just my luck. Never sued a doctor, just not my style. People make mistakes and I believe they are well intentioned and sincerely try their best but I need a break (ooo... wrong choice of words there) if the Man Upstairs is listening! Just let one surgery work out well and I won't complain. I promise! read more

I visited POA for some knee pain and saw Dr. Khan about half a dozen times, including arthroscopic surgery for a partially torn ACL. Dr. Khan and his physician's assistant were polite during all these visits, and not as knife-happy as one cynic (me) might tend to presume, but was continually overbooked and had one foot out the door anticipating the next patient, behavior which I consider very unprofessional. Basically visits involved imaging, followed by a follow up (brief) review of imaging, followed by more imaging, rinse and repeat, until some diagnosis was made. read more
