I have been a patient of Dr. Abdul Kahan(GI) for over several years or more. Dr Khan is one of the best caring and laid back professional Specialists I know of. Dr. Khan is very involved in caring for your health, and resolving any concerns you may have.Dr. Kahan take his time to explain what all is going to take place before and after your procedure and follow up with a personal phone call. That’s rare. Dr Kahan has moved to a new location on Houma Blvd, Metairie LA. Facility is very nice and warm. A big Thank you to Dr Khan and Staff who help you to feel comfortable, safe and relaxed. There is never enough to say. I do recommend Dr Khan and His Team 💯 Thank you All for who you are and what you are specialized to do.
