Testimonials

  • Dr. Khan is a wonderful Doctor as well as a wonderful person. She is kind, caring -and a genius. She detected a melanoma from a tiny, pencil-point spot on my chest that I never would have noticed. She assured me it was 100% curable because it was caught so early. I truly believe she saved my life. I have been in her care for many years and will continue to follow her to her new practice.

  • Dr. Khan has served our family for over 18 years.  She exhibits the best “bedside manner” of any doctor we have encountered.  She always has time to address questions and carefully explain conditions in easily understood terms.  We trust her diagnoses and judgment in caring for this family with hereditary susceptibility to skin cancers.

  • I have been a patient of Dr. Khan's for over 15 years.  She is not just the best dermatologist she is the best doctor!  Her medical knowledge goes well beyond dermatology, and she takes time to explain diagnoses and treatments in such easy-to-understand detail I always feel confident with my treatment plans. She has treated my family successfully for a variety of dermatological issues including acne, psoriasis, actinic keratosis, skin cancer and plantar warts. She is so personable I always look forward to my appointments with her. Some of our issues have been resistant to traditional treatment, which can be very frustrating.  Even when faced with that she works with us to find a treatment we are comfortable with and is successful. I have total confidence in Dr. Khan!

  • I have been a patient of Dr. Khan for over 16 years, and I could not be happier! Dr. Kahn has helped me with adult acne, skin blemishes, and other skin imperfections to the point I no longer use make-up, where prior to being a patient of Dr. Khan, I would not leave the house without it!

  • How many characters do I have to describe the one and only Dr. Khan? She has provided me with professional, respectful loving care for many many years now. She has successfully treated & cared for me through a rare, very unexpected lupus flare on my face that could have changed my appearance permanently, to same day injection of a stubborn acne cyst, to making me feel my best with Botox. She’s a warm, wonderful, welcoming doctor with the most amazing bedside care. She’s also treated my husband & two of my three children. I cannot recommend her enough! She’s earned an A+ and my business forever.

    A fortunate & very satisfied, patient.

  • I cannot say enough about the lovely Dr. Khan. Her customer service alone is enough to keep me coming back. I have been her patient since 2004 and let me tell you I would never go to anyone else when it comes to my skin. It was very complicated for me to find someone who understood my skin type as an African American woman. And when I tell you she raised the bar on patient care. She is informative and comforting, and very thorough. I most definitely feel at ease in her care. Thank You Again Dr. Khan for all you do and making my skin glow.

  • Dr. Khan has been my dermatologist since 2005.  The virtue of this fortuitous relationship has me thanking her for my life. A year after we engaged in a patient/ doctor relationship, Dr. Khan diagnosed a rare amelanotic nodular melanoma which was aggressively growing.  Thankfully, it was only stage 1B when diagnosed saving me from ill fate. Since then she’s also diagnosed a squamous cell. This was treated successfully, too. I highly recommend anyone considering a dermatologist to schedule with Dr. Khan who is not only an excellent doctor, but also has a caring bedside manner.

  • My family and I have been seeing Dr. Khan for at least 15 years. When I first met her, we were seeing another doctor,  but she was not available. So instead, I got to see Dr. Khan. It was quite the revelation. She was so thorough, so clear, so helpful that we have been seeing her ever since. Not only that, but I have sent many friends and family members to her and everyone just loves her.  She’s personable, intelligent, capable and I would recommend her to anyone for any and all dermatology issues.
