Very exceptional doctor. Very good care from him.

09/24/2024

Dr. Kahn is exceptional. Very happy I found him as a doctor for me.

09/16/2024

Was brought into get xrays very quickly, but had to wait about 30 minutes to see the Doctor.

09/16/2024

They never leave you lingering in an exam room wondering what is going on. The receiptionist greets you immediatley on arrival and gets you checked in quickly. A technician always meets you in the waiting room and escorts you to xray or exam room and tells you who you will be seeing next.

08/28/2024

Dr Kahn listen very intently on what I was saying , he explained everything in detail of what was happening. Awesome experience with Dr Kahn. Thank you

08/16/2024

Dr. Kahn was a great choice for my minimal back surgery. He has an impressive background , a gentle easy going personality and I would absolutely choose him again. He is an attentive listener, a thoughtful responder to questions and gives careful explanation of the procedure and the recovery. He is very respectful and gives ample time for questions instead of rushing through the office visits. I can鈥檛 say I enjoyed back surgery, but I did enjoy meeting and working with Dr. .Kahn

08/15/2024

If additional surgery were necessary at a later date, I would choose Dr. Kahn without hesitation.

07/26/2024

At the age of 79, I found myself in need of a neurosurgeon. Dr. Kahn was one of several who I could choose. He saw me right away and I felt very comfortable with him immediately. He was honest and gave me options for moving forward with no pressure. I chose the surgery and everything went smoothly. I was just released yesterday and am almost back to my normal status. If additional treatment may become necessary, Dr.Kahn will be my choice for care.

07/25/2024

I never felt like I was just another person to operate on, which was a great feeling going forward with a surgery.
