- I cannot say enough good things about Mr Shahab Khan and his practice as a surgeon. Because of his unsurpassed skills he is in high demand but still manages to make his patients feel like important individuals, taking their personal circumstances into account in his treatment. He was able to offer me a much safer surgical procedure than that offered by the surgeon I was originally referred to and I have made a very straightforward recovery and feel ten years younger, as he promised. I'm grateful
- I would unreservedly recommend Mr Khan. I felt in safe hands from the first conversation. He is extremely knowledgable and very reassuring. My surgery (parathyroidectomy) and recovery were straightforward; my scar is barely noticeable 2 months post op.
- Mr Khan and his team were fantastic, making me feel at ease, reassuring about my procedure and doing a great job of my surgery
- From the very first consultation with Mr Khan, he gave me and my family the hope and reassance we desperately needed and instantly put us at ease with his professional manner and knowledge of hyperparathyroidism. He understood all my symptoms and was only too happy to offer his services. We can not thank him enough for his expert care and would highly recommend him.
- DR Khan was flexible in timing the hernia operation in accordance with my other commitments. I was comfortably accommodated at the hospital where Dr Khan and Dr Shamsuddin (anaesthetist) clearly explained the procedure. I was offered either local or general anaesthetic, I chose the former. The operation was carried out efficiently and was virtually pain free. Dr Khan paid me a visit to check on my condition, prior to my departure within two hours of the operation. 5 weeks later I am fine
- It is difficult to put into words just how grateful we are to Mr Shad Khan for the care he has given us.We first contacted Mr Khan only seven days ago, following a diagnosis of thyroid cancer, from the NHS Northampton & From that very first contact, he was exceptional. He responded to us the same day, arranged to see us incredibly quickly and immediately put everything in motion. He organised the additional CT scans and investigations needed to reconfirm with me 500 characters not long enough
- Mr Shad Khan is one of the best medical professionals I have met. His personality, knowledge and approach inspire confidence. He is prepared to go 'above and beyond' to help secure the necessay diagnostic tests and undertake successful surgery at short notice. He is a lovely person and an outstanding medical.professional. I would, without hesitation, recommend him to others.
- Had a parathyroidectomy in August and I can honestly say I cannot fault my experience. From my first consultation to my procedure a month later Mr Khans knowledge and passion is totally inspiring . I felt at ease and very confident I was safe in his hands throughout the procedure and he also has a brilliant team supporting him. Lesli his secretary is very friendly and can’t do enough for you. I feel very fortunate to have found Mr Khan and his team .
- My experience with Shad Kahn was entirely positive, and I highly recommend him. At my initial consultation, he listened carefully and quickly identified the issues. I had surgery at Foscote Hospital, where the facilities were good and the staff supportive and friendly. The surgery went smoothly, leaving a neat scar that is healing well, and Shad Kahn has provided excellent follow-up care. I would also like to add how helpful and supportive his secretary has been throughout the process.
- Mr Khan is a brilliant endocrinology surgeon. Goes out of his way to give brilliant treatment. Nothing is to much trouble. Listens, explains, keeps in touch. A great person who I put my trust in 100% . Amazingly I just have a very small scar. Im so glad my daughter found Mr Khan. He looked at all four glands, removed two. Levels in normal range after 3 yrs+. True professional but more like a friend. Thank you Shad for giving me faith...5* Hes the best believe me. Thank you.
