I recently saw Mr Khan for patella tendinopathy. From start to finish he was professional and reassuring. He explained the condition and the options available to me, listened to my concerns and ultimately put my mind at ease. I loved the diagrams he drew and how he pointed out the problem on the MRI scan. I came away feeling that really knew what was happening inside my body and what I needed to do to get back on track. Nothing was too much trouble. I have had my injection, am well into my physiotherapy treatment and the knee feels great. Thank you Mr Khan.

He assessed me and gave a very clear explanation of the options and plan. Once the imaging arrived he explained how he was going to treat me and following surgery he showed me what he had found, what he did and why. Results from the surgery have been excellent.

I am delighted to share my experience with Dr Khan, an excellent orthopaedic surgeon who expertly explained and performed my ACL surgery and meniscus repair. From start to finish, Dr Khan demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise, leaving me feeling confident and reassured throughout the entire process. During my initial consultation with Dr Khan, he took the time to thoroughly explain my condition and the surgical options available to me. He answered all of my questions in detail and ensured that I understood everything about the procedure. I was impressed by his ability to convey complex medical information in a way that was easy for me to understand. On the day of my surgery, Dr Khan's skill and precision were evident. He and his team used the latest technology and techniques to perform the surgery, and I felt completely at ease in his capable hands. After the surgery, Dr Khan followed up with me regularly to monitor my progress and ensure that I was recovering well. Throughout the entire process, Dr Khan and his team provided me with exceptional care and support. They were always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had, making me feel valued and cared for as a patient. Thanks to Dr Khan's expertise and care, my ACL surgery was a success, and I am now on the road to a full recovery. I am grateful to Dr Khan and his team for their exceptional care and support throughout my journey. I highly recommend Dr Khan to anyone in need of orthopedic surgery. His skill, professionalism, and compassion are truly remarkable, and I am fortunate to have been his patient.

Went above and beyond to help me out of pain. Fitted me in for my procedure so I could enjoy my holiday pain free. I totally recommend mr Khan.

He recently treated me for a longstanding upper back pain. He was, at all times, very professional and made me feel that I was in the hands of someone who really knows his business. Subsequently, an MRI scan, that he had ordered, revealed a completely different problem, which could be serious. Mr Khan was quick to move on that problem and have me referred expeditiously to a relevant specialist. Excellent service from, clearly, a very good doctor.

Mr Khan has provided me with a clear and understandable diagnosis, treatment plan and reassurance about the surgery I required. He took the time to listen to me and understand my lifestyle and priorities of my return to sport, giving me full confidence in the plan.
Many thanks for your review and kind words. Understanding the options available and what is involved helps patients to manage their rehabilitation period. By working together, listening and understanding the patient's goals we can achieve better outcomes. I believe it is vital to listen, discuss and share my knowledge with patients.
