The staff did an excellent job, however the provider not so much

Reviewed on Oct 14, 2024

I was very happy with my appointment with Dr. Kahn. I felt like she listened to me, explained things thoroughly, and made me a part of my own care. She emphasized that it may take time for my treatment to work and may need adjustments, but I feel confident that we will be able to work together to make it happen.

Reviewed on Oct 14, 2024

I love having access to telemedicine. I was able to meet with a doctor virtually that would have taken me a two hour round trip to meet with in person. It is so helpful to have this option.

Reviewed on Oct 4, 2024

Dr. Khan was a great listener. I have never had a physician care to listen to me so well and take my concerns to heart.

Reviewed on Sep 23, 2024

Asked poor questions. Was insensitive to my past medical history and situation. Heard my primary concerns but talked about other subjects unrelated. I had to keep brining her back to my primary reason for the visit

Reviewed on Sep 20, 2024

This is my first encounter with this Dr Khan, she's very pushy and opinionated. So, I will have to see her again to understand her bit more.

Reviewed on Sep 18, 2024

Dr. Khan was very professional and helped to answer all of my questions without judgement unlike the nurse.

Reviewed on Sep 13, 2024

I'm so happy to have found Dr. Khan. I originally was supposed to see Dr. Thacker but she wouldn't see me virtually. I'm so happy with Dr Khan. I feel like she really wants to help me out and get me to feeling better. I'm glad she's my Dr.

Reviewed on Sep 11, 2024

Dr Khan definitely cares about my well being and comfort.

Reviewed on Sep 10, 2024

The doctor did not offer any background or confidence that would lead me to believe she knew what she was doing. She was very cold in her delivery and did not openly address any of the issues I am experiencing. She was quick to contradict, even when it was unnecessary. I walked away not wanting to return for a follow up. I will be seeking treatment elsewhere.

Reviewed on Sep 9, 2024

I am so disappointed in this provider. The initial interaction was average and I expected that at a menopause clinic it would be better. However after the second session with her when she openly dismissed my concerns about anxiety/irritability and how they a could not be related to HRT. I knew that this was not going to work out. I will not recommend this doctor or practice to anyone.

Reviewed on Jul 31, 2024

This was a preliminary visit and I had arrived late, so we had limited time. I appreciated that she honored the appointment. This was our first visit and I would have hoped for more of a personal connection on my experiences and an introduction to the varying options or more comprehensive care: diet, lifestyle, sleep, etc., that would be a part of my hormonal concerns.

Reviewed on Jul 30, 2024

Scheduling staff was amazingly helpful, Dr. Kahn was very nice! She was a great listener for my problems, very informative in giving me feedback. Once my labs were posted on MyChart she got back to me in a timely manner after reviewing them. Everything met my expectations!

Reviewed on Jul 30, 2024

Dr. Kahn was one of the best OBGYN's that I have been to. She was an active listener, patient and caring. She took the time to listen to each of my concerns. Once lab work was posted on MyChart she reviewed the labs and responded in a timely manner. I look forward to any appointment with her.

Reviewed on Jul 25, 2024

Dr Khan always listens carefully to my issues and explains my options before deciding on a care plan together. I appreciate the way she lets me take ownership of my own health.

Dr. Kahn expressed empathy and clear communications. She addressed what matters most to me.

Reviewed on Jun 13, 2024

Dr. Khan was clearly very knowledgeable and quickly developed a care plan for me. I just found her interaction with me distant. She did not make eye contact often and was all business, and quick to move on to next patient

Reviewed on Jun 12, 2024

Dr Khan went above and beyond to get me scheduled for two more appointments that same day due to the severity of my health issue.

Reviewed on Jun 10, 2024

This was by far the rudest doctor I have ever encountered. She did not care at all. She gave me a generic, boiler-plate sheet about making a smoothie, which contained Ingredients I have taken daily in the past to no avail. She never actually discussed it with me, though, so I couldn't tell her this doesn't work. She blamed my symptoms on a pre-existing condition that I told her was completely under control. She sent me for labs. The labs came back showing that the pre-existing condition is completely under control and that my iron levels were low. I heard nothing back from her. I had to contact her again to ask her what to do about the labs. Her response was that she will make a note of them. What?!? That does not help me at all. She was wrong about the cause- then gave me no follow-up or alternative plan. She gave me no instruction about what to do about the one thing that actually showed up In the labs. What's the point of having me get labs if you're not going to do anything about them? She gave me no instructions, no plan, no anything. Then when I asked- I got a rude, glib response to add insult to injury.

Reviewed on Jun 3, 2024

Doctor really did not seem to care

Reviewed on Jun 3, 2024

My Doctor truly cares for her patients. She encourages me to do all I can to maintain my health, giving me instructions for lifestyles and checkups. She's guiding me through a procedure with detailed and reassuring information. I really appreciate her demeanor and knowledge.

Reviewed on May 10, 2024

Dr Khan was very pleasant and helpful. She followed up after the visit promptly twice and continued to provide information and resources to me without it being an overload in the first visit. It is clear she is passionate about her work and helping women help themselves to live their best lives.

Dr. Khan was attentive, and engaging in all my concerns

Reviewed on May 8, 2024

My ultrasound report sat in her inbox for over four months without her ever reaching out to me to discuss the report or her concerns. Then she chastised me when I couldn't drop everything and run to do a proceedure within a 6 week time frame when she had 4 months prior to schedule it, Including a date when I was at the Cleveland clinic the previous month.

Reviewed on May 7, 2024

I would recommend Dr. Kahn to any woman looking to take charge of their health. But working with Dr. Kahn has to be a two-way street. She provides so much knowledge to living a healthy lifestyle, but you have to be willing to put in the effort. I feel blessed to be under her care.

Logged in 10 mins early as directed. Waited for 35 mins and provider never joined. Ended Zoom without being seen and had to reschedule appointment. No contact from provider or her office as to what happened. My time is just as important.
