I am so very grateful to SK's for his expertise and professional friendly approach. I just wished I had accessed an assessment earlier as I now on the road to recovery after a very difficult time. He is a shining star in the dismissive world of endocrinology.

My experience with Mr Khan was positive from start to finish. I had already had a consultation with a surgeon who's plan for my treatment was frightening. Mr Khan was able to offer a more suitable procedure with a safer outcome. He was reassuring from the very start, able to use the scans that others had dismissed and operate successfully. He has assembled an impressive team who looked after me very well, but he personally made follow-up calls and took the consultation appointments that were scheduled for his registrar. He is highly skilled, a leader in his field, in great demand but manages to make his patients feel like significant individuals. He operated on me with skill and precision - my scar is negligible - and took the time to make me feel cared for.

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.

I cannot thank Mr Khan enough for the kindness, compassion and support he has shown me. Even while I’m waiting for surgery, he has been incredibly helpful, reassuring and approachable. His care and willingness to help have made such a difference to me during what can be a difficult and uncertain time. I’m genuinely so grateful and feel very fortunate to have him as my surgeon. Thank you for making me feel heard, supported and cared for.

I had a hernia which was repaired by Mr Khan and his team. The process and recovery was text book with no complications and I would recommend the process using Mr Khans skills to anyone considering a similar repair. Thank you Mr Khan

Dr. Khan and his assistant Lesli were absolutely incredible from the moment I spoke to them. So reassuring from the moment I spoke on the phone. Every message has been promptly responded to. Everything has been clear. Everything has been followed up. Dr. Khan, it's absolutely incredible what he does, which is why he is so highly rated and why I went to him. It's amazing to see Dr. Khan and his team working to heal people. God is so good!

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 and fully assess what had already been identified through the biopsy, talked us through everything in great detail and, remarkably, arranged the operation to remove half of the thyroid for the following Thursday — just one week after we first contacted him. Throughout what has been an incredibly frightening and emotional week, Mr Khan has been calm, kind, compassionate and reassuring. His knowledge and experience are immediately apparent, but what has meant just as much to us is the way he communicates. He has responded incredibly quickly whenever we have needed him, kept us informed at every stage and made sure we understood exactly what was happening and why. At a time when everything suddenly felt uncertain, he gave us a clear plan and the confidence that things were moving forward. We have genuinely felt that we are in the safest possible hands. Having a cancer diagnosis is something no family expects to face, and finding a surgeon who combines such expertise with genuine kindness and humanity has made an enormous difference to us. Mr Khan and his Secretary Lesli have been absolutely brilliant from the moment we ...
