Initial consultation & procedures were dealt with well & quite quick. However, I then had to chase for a follow up, as there was still no reason identified for my diagnosis. The secretary is difficult to get hold, often no replies to emails, so followed up through Spire secretaries. Eventually got a telephone appt, but didn't get called, was then told I should have gone in-person. Next appt cancelled at short notice. Re-schedule appt the Professor didn't turn up, was then told clinic was cancelled, but had no notification, so resulted in a wasted journey. Not sure if I can now be bothered with the hassle to follow up on my health issues!

Through examination, listened carefully and gave a clear explanation of what was needed.

Consultation was okay, although I assumed due to my symptoms and explanation of issues an examination may of been conducted. It was not. I was told that I would be referred back to my GP and a prescription would be sent to my pharmacy. Neither of which has been done to my knowledge as I have heard nothing back. All in all a feel a poor service and waste of money.

Fully informs the patient with appropriate levels of detail and listens to any queries with care.

My experience with Professor Jim Khan was he is was very polite explained everything to me and my daughter very gentle manner,i felt very confident in him to carry out my surgery.

My impression is that he is more of an academic than a clinician. He made a diagnosis and recommended a course of surgical treatment, which later he changed without informing me, settling on a simpler procedure he is perhaps more comfortable with than the one discussed and much needed, which would have meant unnecessary costs and non relevant treatment..

Professor Khan made me feel totally comfortable and explained everything about my condition and the treatment options available, allowing me to come to an informed decision about the best way to proceed.

It was ok, but its 7 days since I have seen him and no follow up letter received yet. Also he didn't have my scan results. Secretary said she had problems getting them . But I was only told 3 hrs before the appt. Not impressed with the slowness of letter from seeing him 7 days ago.
Very sorry to hear about your recent experience and sincere apology for the delays in relaying the information to you. We are constantly working to optimise our response times, however sometime there are delays in getting the information across especially when more than one hospitals/ trusts are involved.

I found professor Khan to be very reassuring and explained everything very well to me. He completely put my mine at rest. I'm so pleased I went ahead with the surgery, especially for my peace of mind. Thank you so much

I found Professor Khan extremely kind, caring & professional. The information he gave me was very informative & did not require many questions from me for elaboration.
