Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I highly recommend Dr. Khan!
I recently met with Dr. Khan for a surgical consultation. I was a little anxious, but as soon as he spoke to me and explained the options and reasoning he immediately put my fears at ease. It was a very pleasant experience, and I’ll be sure to have him as my surgeon.

Only Dr. Khan for my back
Dr Khan has wonderful bedside manner. After 6 orthopedist said they could not successfully correct my back issues I was referred to Dr. Khan. He sent me for tests and afterwards scheduled surgery which was extremely successful. I would recommend him to anyone with back spinal issues. He was fantastic.

Spinal surgery
Dr. Kahn is very informative and helps get you comfortable with what he is going to do. Everything is explained and he answers questions in a way you can understand. My surgery was a 4 level cervical fusion and I was never forced into a decision. He lets you make up your own mind all the time informing you of the pluses and minuses of having surgery or not. His personality is easy going and what a patient needs when going in a major surgery. I had 6 or 7 total office visits and the wait time was 10 minutes or less for each visit. His PA, Rachel is also very helpful and very accessible.

Lower back surgery
In my first meeting with Dr. Khan I felt convent in his ability to correct the pain in my butt and also going down my legs. I was encouraged to try other remedies before it came to doing surgery. I liked is approach to try to fix the problem without surgery. it turned out that none of the things I tried did not help. so he performed surgery and all the pain has gone away. I'm now going to PT to straighten my back mussels. would recommend Dr. Khan highly. Great doctor with a personality .

Amazing Doctor
I have had previous spinal surgery in VA however I moved to NJ last year and unfortunately I had to undergo another spinal surgery. Not having my specialist in NJ I had to trust who Hackensack hospital was providing me. Dr. Khan was absolutely amazing. While I was in the ER he broke down what was going to happen moving forward. He gave me 3 different options and answered all my questions to ensure I make the best decision. He came to me 3 times and explained my options. I was literally getting prepped for surgery when he wanted to tell me my options one more time. That’s when I switched the procedure I wanted based on his recommendations but the overall decision was up to me. He was never pushy, he just wanted to make sure I was positive with my decision. My recovery from my procedure was so smooth and completely different from my first spinal surgery. I will always recommend Dr. Khan and his team!

ACDF C4-C7
I have been through many injuries and recoveries, most severe.. Recently (October 2022) Dr Mohammed Faraz Khan completed a C4-C7 ACDF on my cervical spine… I saw no less than 7 other doctors who had varying diagnosis and opinions. I pursued multiple epidurals, trigger point injections, ozone injections injections, acupuncture, PT, cupping, and shockwave therapy. Nothing worked and I was at the end of my rope when I found Dr Khan. He took the time to send me for more tests including duplicate tests with his colleagues because he wasn’t confident in the accuracy of prior tests I had done. By far one of my best surgical experiences. His bedside is like no other and he takes the time to figure out what is really going on. Some others just look to rush into surgery without proper diagnostics. More than likely requiring more surgeries in the future. I put my full trust in Dr. Khan and his staff. If I got a redo, or had to do it all over, this is the decision I would make again.

Thank you!
Dr. Khan is a wonderful surgeon. I had my first fusion at a different practice in 2019. A few. years later I began having terrible back pain again. I saw several surgeons, and so glad I met with Dr. Khan. He displayed confidence and compassion during my initial consultation. He did not pressure me at all, and told me what he recommended we do if and when I was ready. I ended up going for several injections through his practice, and ended up having to expedite my surgery because of severe symptoms I was experiencing. Dr. Khan was with me every step of the way. My back pain is so much better. He is the best!

Dr. Kahn was referred to me by a friend. I was in great pain from herniated disc and nerve pain down my left leg. After explaining my symptoms and MRI results, Dr. Kahn told me my case required expedited surgery. His office handled all the paperwork and appointments really well and made the process very easy for me. I am bow 6 weeks post-op and feel so great! The surgery was a success and I no longer have nerve pain or numbness in my foot!

I have had back pain for several years and I am so grateful to have found Dr. Kahn. Dr. Kahn took the time to explain what was going on with my spine in language I could understand. He outlined all my options in easy terms and my wife and I were very comforted by his calm, knowledgeable and reassuring manner. He is also very friendly, compassionate and easy to talk to. I also must commend his team, from Romona, Rachel, Clara and Michelle, who were so helpful and always available to answer any questions. Dr. Khan performed a multi-level spinal fusion and nerve decompression on me 3 months ago and I am so happy with the results to date. I can stand and walk without pain. I feel as if I have my life back. You should not hesitate to see Dr. Khan. I highly recommend him.
