Dr. Kahn is a wonderful doctor. He helped me understand many of the stuff I had doubts about
Thorough and considerate approach. Clear open communication.
Dr. David Khan is a excellent plastic surgeon for the ear.
The Dr's opinion / experience was comforting but the nurses's attention to detail when treating and drissingh by diabetic foot ulcer wounds was invaluable.
Very professional
From the moment I stepped in the door, every person who spoke to me was friendly, helpful, and encouraging. The doctors were compassionate and very informative.
Very Professional
Visit was awesome
Doctor Kahn is very informative and tells risk of procedure.
Dr. Kahn is by far the most amazing doctor I have ever met with and I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to work with him for the past 18 years.
Excellent
Kind and caring doctor who explained things well.
Dr.Kahn was very patient and didn’t rush through the appointment and answered all my questions.
I went into my procedure with no guidance and not given info on what or how things would happen.
Just thank him and I will come in to do the pictures he recommended and if someone will calling me to make appointment for that.
I was taken into room and was told they would be back then the doctor came in and I was still waiting in my clothes and he needed to examine me so I had to undress in front of him and an intern.
He was kind, attentive, honest, insightful, and genuine.
This Dr has an amazing sense of humor.
My doctor understands my concerns.
All my care providers were respectful. They fully explained what they would do and asked permission before proceeding. Also, they patiently answered my questions.
Very knowledgeable. Took time to understand, help and explain. Great team.
I didn't know what to expect with Stanford Med. Ctr. being such a large and busy facility but came away very thankful and impressed.
Excellent experience. From his explaining the different options to his listening to my concerns. Nice appointment.
He is more a plastic surgeon. I feel this department should be separated form other facial surgery.
Yes because they are experts & they know what they do.
he didn't seem to know what I was there for. I had to ask how often he had done eye lift surgeries.
I thought that Dr. Kahn was professional and knowledgeable. He spent a good amount of time to answer my questions. He was also personable. However, I didn't feel he was empathetic or showed any care for me. My consultation might be a routine for him but it involved a serious decision for me to consider whether I wanted to have this elective surgery or not.
Dr. Kahn is very nice. He told me what my surgery would consist of and the outcome. Answered my questions. I was happy & impressed with my visit.
Appointment felt rushed and I left very confused, didn't have much of an opportunity to ask questions.
Dr. Kahn & Whitney are the best!
I had an excellent experience at the clinic.
could not have been better thank you
Outstanding professional in all ways.
the visit was very brief
Support staff was terrific. Dr. came across as another very busy physician who had approximately 5 minutes to provide care. Not good!
Dr. Kahn and Carly have explained very well about my concerns with my procedure done. They're patient and very compassionate. They're excellent health care providers.
I like Dr. Kahn very much. He spent quite a bit of time with me during my visit. He examined me to understand my situation. He talked with me about a variety of options that I could choose moving forward. He made sure that I understood everything he told me. I expect to pursue surgery with Dr. Kahn within the next few months.
Although the doctor spoke rapidly and used A LOT of medical, non-layman terms, I did get a good understanding of what could and couldn't be done.
I was very thankful for him accepting me as his patient due to the mix up.
Very good experience in surgery center!
Very good.
Greatest gift one can receive is having one's needs heard and understood. I received just that. Meant a great deal. Thank you.
They are very careful with everything and treat you the best.

Took time to explain options and answer all questions.
I always had a TEAM for care.
I have one appointment with him, so I can't say much.
Dr. Kahn is an amazing doctor.
Dr Kahn was efficient, knowledgeable and to the point we saw him in rotation w/Dr. Fukaya, she seemed much more interactive, probing and assertive in my mother's care.

Dr. David Kahn is a very understanding and caring doctor. Showed a lot of respect for my feelings. Was willing to help if he could.

Dr. Kahn is the best.
