Professional Profile

I graduated from the prestigious Dow Medical College in Pakistan with distinction and then moved to Ireland for higher training. After gaining valuable experience in various hospitals, I polished off my skills at the University Hospital, Galway. I then moved to the UK to get trained in the management of complex G.I diseases and specialised endoscopic procedures.

I worked at the world renowned St Marks and St Georges Hospitals in London before moving to Ziauddin University Hospital in Pakistan as Assistant Professor and Consultant Gastroenterologist. I moved back to the UK after two years and have been providing an excellent Gastrointestinal service at Medway Hospital since 2007. I am currently the lead for department of Gastroenterology at Medway Hospital.

During my training I attained excellent experience in management of liver and pancreatic diseases, inflammatory and functional bowel diseases. I have experience in the management of most G.I diseases and have extensive experience in performing diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies. I am an accredited bowel scope screener.

I have performed more than 10,000 diagnostic and therapeutic upper and lower G.I endoscopies including complex hepatobiliary procedures (ERCP’s).

I am the clinical lead for the department of Gastroenterology at Medway Maritime Hospital. I am a member of Specialist Training Committee for Gastroenterology at Kent, Sussex and Surrey deanery. I am educational and clinical supervisor for medical trainees at Medway Maritime Hospital.

My experience was very good. Dr Khan, was very professional but also polite, friendly and very easy to talk to. He listened very carefully to what I had to say and was very thorough, explaining everything clearly which helped to put my mind at rest.

Dr Khan is a highly professional, experienced, physician. He is caring, attentive, actually listens to his patients, he went out of his way to explain my condition, he understood my anxiety and even asked if I or my Husband had any questions. He is friendly and kind and that goes a long way to reassure patients. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I found it very easy to discuss fairly complex symptoms with Dr Khan. His manner was encouraging but professional. He listened intently and asked pertinent questions. The current trend of typing on a computer while listening to a patient, which I personally find off putting , he didn’t do, and yet he remembered all the details that I had given as shown by the letter I later received. His conclusion, done in a measured way, gave me great confidence in his ability to help me. He chatted informally at the end, putting me at my ease.

I had a great experience with Dr Khan. I had been suffering for so long and from the first day I saw him he immediately started the process of alleviating my IBS symptoms. The diagnosis in itself was a relief just knowing what is wrong with me thank you.
