I must start my review by stating that Dr. Khans office staff and nurse were absolutely accommodating and wonderful. The experience with Dr. Khan however,was not as pleasurable. When the nurse, I believe her name was Valerie, came in I thought "Wow, this is the textbook definition of a pediatric specialist." She was comforting, knowledgable, welcoming, and explained everything. My daughter loved her disposition and was taken up with her warm, comforting personality. We moved into the next room where we were to meet with Dr. Khan so she could perform an echocardiogram for our daughters heart murmur. I will not go into full detail about the visit but I almost felt like Dr. Khan looks down on you. My husband and I are two very well educated parents. Her demeanor was very curt and abrasive. I dont expect Patch Adams to walk in with a clown nose, but you do realize youre a PEDIATRIC cardiologist right? Her bedside manner was less than pleasurable. The only thing she explained at the beginning of our appointment was that we needed to keep our 15 month old as still as possible for about 10-15 minutes. That in and of itself, was going to be a challenge, but we did everything she asked to attempt to distract our daughter. After about 20 minutes, because my daughter was crying a lot, she didnt once comfort us and say "Okay mom and dad, only a few more pictures to go." Instead, she kept saying "I can assure you Im not hurting her. This doesnt hurt." She remained silent the entire time, which I know she was concentrating, but maybe at the beginning she could have stated I will be taking 60 pictures or so. Instead, this felt like the longest 20-25 minutes and we were preparing for what was going to be relayed to us. After the ultrasound was done, she assured us everything was fine but said she needed to go plug numbers into the computer. My husband and I said "okay" and she looked at us and goes "its fine, now leave her be." She came back in, started to very quickly go over her innocent heart murmur with us, and again said "its a normal functioning heart, now leave her be." I felt right then and there I wanted to ask her to stop saying "leave her be." She made me feel like a hypochondriac that just walked in off the street. I was respectful but wanted to let her know, "listen we arent here because we just felt like it." It was an emotional day so I held back saying anything, until.... Until she asked "is it typical of your daughter to throw a tantrum and cry this much?" I said, "excuse me?" She said she noticed in the home videos we were asked to show on the phone that she yells a lot. Well excuse me doctor, but those home videos you asked us to show to distract her, she was chasing our dog and yelling with excitement, ALSO, we were restraining our 15 month old daughter, for 20 minutes, in a room that was about 105 degrees. This was not a tantrum because she didnt get a toy at Toys R Us. I really, really did not appreciate that question and was taken aback. I explained to her that I am a teacher and I have a degree in childhood development psych- my daughter is 15 months old and cant verbally express her frustration and emotions, so her crying was completely normal. Long story short (I know too late) but God forbid we ever needed to see a pediatric cardiologist again, we would not be returning to Dr. Khan.

Inexperienced in many areas, especially their billing department. They did not run my insurance correctly and overcharged me for a visit. Its been 3 weeks now and they are unable to refund the measly $7.95 Im owed by them. They want me to disclose my full card number to them over the phone for a refund without caring that this would be an unsafe practice for me. Beware when you walk into their office and they want you to sign a form which breaks out payments into $100 increments for the next 6 months. This is with being fully covered by my insurance company. When I questioned Dr. Khan about her billing practices she then became very defense and irate. Would not let me get a word in to explain myself. In my experiences a good doctor will listen to their patients instead of speaking down to them. Office is dirty and unkept. I have nothing good to say about this doctor or their office. You are better off going somewhere else.

Amazing !! I went to Dr. khan for a fetal echo and I loved her . My pediatrician recommended I take my daughter to a cardiologist at 1.5 months and I knew I had to go back to this office. Everyone in the office made me feel so comfortable. Even when my daughter was crying they calmed her down in such a warm nurturing way. Dr. Khan and her assistant were so patient. Also Daniella the receptionist is just wonderful. She really makes me feel so welcome and she is so personable . Ten stars !!

From walking into the office everything was great- The receptionist, doctor and nurse are nice and amazing personalities. First time to encounter such great services in the medical field!! The other offices should take notes!! :] Everything was explained, was told what every process would be. Amazing Staff!

Dr. Khan has been treating my daughter since she was 3. Wonderful office. Time spent with patients and families to explain condition/treatment is outstanding. Referral to specialist for surgery and follow up is fantastic. We LOVE Dr. Khan!
