This was my first personal consult with Dr Kahn, however I was familiar with him since he is my mother's pulmonologist. I chose to request him upon the need for a pulmonary consult since I find his overall demeanor and approach to his patient calming as well as thorough. I would highly recommend this doctor.

Dr. Kahn is probably one of my favorite doctors. He listens carefully. He's very knowledgeable. He looks things up if he doesn't know what it is that he's trying to convey. He explains the medications and shows what the options are. He's really fantastic.

Please keep the initial date and time so a patient doesn't have to call and check to see if the Dr would be doing a zoom. I was finally seen over an hour after my scheduled appointment time. This was due to a scheduling hiccup not fault of the Dr.

Dr Kahn made me feel very comfortable and encouraged me to ask questions about anything I didn't understand. I did not feel rushed and felt that he truly listened to my concerns. He was such a calming presence which alleviated my anxiety. He was very professional but his warm humorous personality instantly put me at ease.

I felt that Dr Kahn was helpful in explaining results of testing I had done. I feel like he listened to my concerns and also explained why he was making medication changes and order me a cpap machine. He addressed my reluctance to cpap with facts as to how I will benefit from making the change. This made me more willing to take his advice. I only wish I could a PCP who treated me like this.
