  • "Snapped the end of my elbow off. Dr. Khan got me in the day after he saw me for surgery. In the beginning of March 2022, he put 6 screws and a plate in my arm. Last Saturday 6/25/2022, I just did a giant inflatable obstacle course for an hour and outlasted all of my friends. Should speak for itself. Appreciate you Dr. Khan."

  • "The experience I’ve had at this doctors office at Ortho West has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long time I’ve had many surgeries and different parts of my body, but Dr. khsn And his staff have been very professional and kind to me throughout my visits. I’m very thorough. Might be a little longer. Wait in the waiting room but well worth it. Have a blessed day."
