Dr khan is the best!!
I was involved in a car accident where I had broken my neck and have a traumatic brain injury. The left side of my body shut down due to the brain injury and I was paralyzed. Dr khan did a neck fusion, and a weeks later by the grace of God and Dr khan I walked out of the hospital. I’ll never forget being told that “there is no medical explanation how you’re not a paraplegic in a wheelchair the rest of your life other than God”.
I’m 5 years out from the accident and walking with no issues.
It’s tough living with the brain injury, but life is good thanks to Dr khan.

I thank God every day for allowing me to walk, talk and think and for Dr khan.

A HUGE THANK YOU!!!!!!
Dr explained everything in full gave different options took the time did not rush
The best experience
Dr. Khan genuinely cares about his patients and takes time to explain to his patients. Both my husband and I are patients of his and highly recommend him.
Dr Khan is not only a amazing surgeon but also a amazing person I would highly recommend him for all your back problems
When I was referred to Dr Khan, I was only able to walk two blocks. After a complete exam and testing, surgery was my best option. The surgical planning team made the process easy and efficient. Every step of the way was clearly explained. Post op visits were made in advance and home services were arranged prior to discharge from the hospital. I fully understand that every patient is different, but I can walk with ease. I am very satisfied.
Dr Khan explained everything about what he saw on the scan, gave my four options on how to move forward and is letting me have time to make a decision. He also explained what happened from the first procedure that I had at another Dr to what I was experiencing now. I fully understand what the surgery entails, the recovery time and what I can and cannot do.
Dr. Khan is a godsend to me. Ina time when my world was so face spaced, I needed someone who will listen to my health concerns and respond appropriately. I was involved in motor vehicle accident (me being pedestrian), dislocated few discs in neck, back and fractures in my spines.

Visited Dr. Khan June 2024, gave me enough information and update of my health, along with providing multiple options. I opted for surgery, everything went well. Dr. Khan as busy as he is, he is just a phone call away. Tremendous professionalism, very friendly and will always follow up with patient. I felt very confident and in safe hands with Dr. Khan. His staff is very friendly as well, they will listen to you, follow-up and will always be your side.

If anyone looking for a neuro surgeon in Bergen county area, Dr. Khan is your go to men!

Thank you, Dr. Khan for everything you for me, my recovery, follow-up and entire process. Greatly appreciated!
Dr. Kahn was very patient and explained everything in detail. My hope is everything we duscussed will improve my daily lifestyle! Thank you Dr Kahn.
My entire experience with Dr. Khan was very professional and straight foward. Everyone in his office made my experience very easy by explaining each detail. Dr. Khan takes the time to explain every option available. The surgery I had from Dr. Khan was very successful and my recovery is coming along nicely.
