Dr. Khandhar correctly diagnosed my lung tumor as a slow growing carcinoid. The tumor was located in a spot that required removal of half of my left lung. Because Dr. Khandhar was able to do the surgery using a non-invasive, laparoscopic method, I had less pain . I was able to return to my regular activities ( including golfing ) in less than a month after surgery. Over, I found Dr. Khandhar to be a compassionate, skilled surgeon.

DR. Khandhar is the best he really cares for his patience as though they are family members. My experience was the best experience I ever had at a doctors office, I felt comfortable and relaxed. For me it was as though I was sitting with ine of my family members who are doctors.
The staff is amazing from front desk to the doctor. I have never been to a doctors office where the entire staff are so pleasant and kind. They treat you like you are apart of their team!

He is amazing and really explained to me what I was facing and how everything was going to be.
He called me the night before surgery checking on me, I have not met a doctor who does that.
Dr. K we need more doctors like you, please start holding classes.
May God continues to keep you, your family and your entire team covered ! Bless all of you for you dedication, passion, and Love you put into your work!
Thank you for letting God use you and thank you for giving me new life!!!!!

The experience was the best experience I ever had at a doctors office, yes I’m not exaggerating it’s the honest truth.
The staff is amazing from front desk to the doctor.
He was amazing and really explained to me what I was facing and how everything was going to be.
They removed a cancerous mass, that it was located in my chest near my heart.
The reason I’m explaining this to you is because everything he said about the procedure it was exactly like that.
HE CALLED ME THE DAY BEFORE THE SURGERY TO SEE HOW I WAS DOING AND WHO WILL DO THAT.
I tell you who Dr. Khandhar will.
I will forever be grateful and may those hands will continue bringing hope to the many families that he will encounter.
Jesus love you Dr. and I will pray for His guidance on every surgery you perform.

Have had excellent inter action with Dr. Khqndhar and through recommendation on obtaining a lung sample for a case of pneumonia I was able to avoid the surgery and over come the pneumonia through traditional treatment. Being on heatt medications and avoid this surgery meant I did not have to pick between the heart meds or surgery. Thanks Dr. Khandhar.

The minute you meet Dr. Khandhar, you are impressed with his vast knowledge, ability to make a personal connection and explain the issues in words that a non/medical person can understand. I knew I was in the presence of a great surgeon and healer.
