Dr Fasihul Khan is clear and thorough with patients. He listens well and explains conditions. Patients feel confident and understand their care plans. His care addresses breathlessness, chronic cough, wheezing, lung function, and interstitial lung disease.
Hi Dr Khan was very attentive and very helpful. He asked me to explain all my symptoms and allowed me time to discuss other things that were on my mind. He laid all the possible solutions for me and explained everything thoroughly. I really recommend Dr Khan for any future appointments regarding respiratory as he is very knowledgeable and understanding.
Dr Khan is an exceptionally patient-focused doctor with outstanding communication, empathy, and understanding. I have always felt safe and well cared for under his guidance. I have been treated by Dr Khan on several occasions, and each time he demonstrated a strong ability to diagnose complex medical problems accurately and efficiently, particularly where previous consultations with other specialists had not provided clarity. His clinical judgment inspires confidence, and his approach is consistently calm, structured, and thoughtful. What sets Dr Khan apart is the way he explains each step of the process. He clearly outlines both the diagnosis and the reasoning behind the treatment plan, using language that is straightforward and accessible to non-medical patients - and creates space for questions that he answers clearly and without rushing. Follow-up care is equally impressive. Dr Khan is attentive, responsive, and provides continuity and reassurance beyond the initial consultation. He has an excellent bedside manner and creates an environment where I feel listened to, supported, and respected. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking high-quality medical care.
Really helpful and clear. Very good consultation with a clear plan and way forward. Very grateful.

I am so glad to be under the care of Dr Fasihul Khan. He listens. He gives me his full attention. He explains my condition and treatment in terms I can understand. If he doesn’t have an answer to a question, he is quite frank about that. I come away feeling that all current issues have been addressed and I understand my plan of care.
Amazing sharp and really quick, I felt at so much at ease after seeing him, thank you so much for short notice appt, it means a lot very professional 🙏🏼
Doctor Khan is a warm and welcoming clinician. He took time to listen to my story, addressing my concerns and offered clear and concise explanations. He suggested treatments for my problem, which I am happy to accept. I felt in good, knowledgeable hands. I regret to say that I have been disappointed with the NHS recently but now feel that something is finally being done to help me.
