Dr Khan and his assisting MD were some of the best doctors i've seen at Emory

The doctor spent about 1 minute in the room and basically told me it was too early in my treatment for me to have any symptoms . He was never unpleasant but seemed very rushed and not really present.

It was my first check-in with the doctor after a long night of Proton Therapy and CT scans. He walked in the room, saw I was only 3 sessions in, said it's too early for me to feel side effects, and left.

I feel blessed that I am able to have my melanoma treatment done at the Winship Cancer Institute. Starting in November, 2021 until now, all of my doctors, PAs, nurses, and therapists have been outstanding! I can't imagine being treated anywhere else for my cancer...Winship is the best!!

Dr Khan was excellent in his explanations and findings of the result of radiation completion. He was extremely pleased with results to date.

Although I don't see their interactions, it is clear that Dr Khan and his technician team are on the same page with regard to my treatment. The travel, repetitive frequency, and some of the side effects are at times unpleasant. But I always look forward to the treatment sessions themselves.

Can say enough good things about Dr. Khan and his staff. I'm not overly excited about more radiation but if it's necessary I would rather Dr Khan and his staff be the ones doing it.

My experience was excellent with all concerned. I was very impressed with everyone and the only issue was the one appointment not being on the schedule and being dismissed without any instructions. My daughter followed up on all questions and is in the process of making an appointment with Dr. Khan for an assessment of the final radiation treatment..
