I have Thyroid Cancer. Dr. Kahn was running about 20 minutes late, however, she took my entire 30 min appt and went over all the details of my care with me. She even wrote down the notes of what I needed to do and she explained everything in terms I understood. She was very nice and I had a great experience.

I'll start out by saying that I'm a Type I Diabetic. She recently put me on the pump (which is nice), but she hardly takes any time to discuss my issues or concerns with me. She glances at my numbers and is out the door. On top of that, when my levels were bouncing around last year and my A1C was a little high, she started *yelling* at me and calling me what amounted to a bad person. Pardon me, but two years before my A1C was running 5.6, and little had changed. That either means there is something wrong with my insulin plan or my diabetes care. The only reason I haven't found a different endocrinologist is because the clinic she works at is close, and I don't know of anyone else.

Took a long time to react to my problems, every appointment she said "We'll take more labs, see what they say, and if they haven't improved we'll move on to the next step" only to say the same at the next appointment, until finally referring me to Mayo... unfortunately after I'd moved out of state and am changing insurance. Also not very good at getting Rx's faxed in, usually takes a few calls. Nurse Sheila is very friendly and helpful, however. Dr. Khan seems to be relatively knowledgeable, but progress is slow.

She gave me a diabetes drug even though my fasting glucose was 90 and I don't have it and had "slightly elevated insulin levels." She couldn't even say whether or not I had PCOS. She tested my hormone levels on the worst possible day, when I was ovulating, instead of day three of the cycle. She didn't even advise me on diet, I had to find that out myself. All in all, she treated me like cattle. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to her!!
