  • Dr. Khalil is a very calm and compassionate human being who listens "beyond the words". After having met with my more local thoracic surgeon, I brought into this consult many quality of life fears. Armed with obvious expertise and successful practice in this field, Dr. Khalil alleviated each concern by explaining how he would approach the obstacle in various ways dependent upon what he found in surgery, beyond what is seen in the tests. I have no reservations that with Dr. Khalil as my cardio- thoracic surgeon, I am in the best of hands this world can provide.
