Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

EXCELLENT DOCTOR
I have been a patient of his for 3 years. He is compassionate, listens to your issues and treats such concerns. He removed a pain pump I had in my back for 7 years and was causing extreme pain. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr Kahn to anyone needing pain relief!!

Not enough room to tell all. But doesn’t seem to be concerned on providing the help you need. Difficult to get appts; last attempt was impossible. Look for different Dr.

I had been there several times and it was Dr.Vargus who's the best a complete opposite of Dr.Kahn who's so rude and disrespectful. Family took me out and I was thankful. I do miss Dr. Vargas. I now have a Dr who cares about his overall patients health.

Dr.Kahn is an EXTREMELY compassionate Doctor. He listens to you and is very kind and patient. He also explains things in a detailed manner. He does everything he can to help you with your pain management. I can't say enough good things about Dr.Kahn and his staff. Highly recommended!!

Have been seeing Dr Khan and Dr Vargas since September 2019. Dr Khan does initial visit, listens to what you say and treats your pain accordingly. He helps me keep my pain under control. I have herniated discs, slipped discs and spinal stenosis. I have also received a 3 set of spinal injections for my pain which helped a lot. I still need pain meds but I am now on an even keel. Can't hardly wait until I can get a further 3 set of spinal injections for my other side in lumbar region. Per my insurance have to wait 6 months until I can get more injections. Nothing against Dr Vargas, but I much prefer Dr Khan, he is most definitely very personable. Would and have recommended him to family and friends already.

I relocated to Polk County three years ago. Was worried about finding a doctor to manage my pain care. That's when I found Dr. Khan and Dr. Vargus what a team. These two Dr's know their stuff, I would not go anywhere else.

Visits to this facility are nightmarish, staff and physicians are rarely on time! The wait period is excessive and Dr Khan is rude and more concerned about his restaurant than patients! I truly hate bringing my wife to him!

First of all this is not a pill factory or a place to go if you’re just looking for medication. Dr. Kahn and Dr. Vargas are very stringent on prescription medication and how much you’re taking. they watch carefully to insure that you are functioning with less pain with out the most drugs. Dr Kahn has a wonderful terrific tremendous staff everybody gets along well it’s friendly. I have never ever been treated rudely by anyone in the office.

He moves quickly, but will take time to talk to you if you let the staff know ahead of time. He truly does want to help people in pain. Wait time VARIES according to the needs of the patients on any given day. Sometimes it's 15 minutes, other times it has been almost an hour. You do need to have patience.

I have NEVER been so upset with a doctor appointment as I was today with Dr. Khan. After waiting a hour after my appointment time I was called back into the room. I understand that waiting is all part of it, but after being put in the room I wait over another hour. In walks the doctor, looks at the notes that the nurse had taken looked at me and walked out. I didn't have the opportunity to say anything. When the nurse came back in I asked and she said he was done. DONE I never even got to talk.
