I didn’t know what to expect at first. However. Dr. Khan’s calm and reassuring bedside manner made me feel good. He explained my situation in detail and provided options for me. He helped outline a treatment plan that would help me.

Dr Khan is great at explaining things. He cares. He worked with me for months trying to avoid surgery. I just had my shoulder replaced (13 days ago). I recommend Dr Khan and Resurgeons for shoulder issues.
