I found Mr. Kahn's quiet calm manner reassuring.
I am a registrar who has worked with and been taught by Mr Kahn. I like his calm unflappable approach to surgery and the gentle way with which he approaches his patients.
Extremely professional. Thorough and considered and clearly very knowledgeable. Explained what he was doing and looking out for and made clear the results. Would highly recommend.
Many thanks for your kind review.
The treatment I received from Mr. Khan and his team was caring and kind and I would not hesitate to recommend him.
I was seen by Mr. Khan on 23rd December and although he had to tell me I had some diabetic retinopathy, which was a total shock, he was very reassuring and arranged for me to go onto the cataract waiting list and requested an appointment for the Acute Clinic for approximately 10 weeks.
The negative aspect is the appointment booking system at Bedford. When I went to Reception I asked when the operation would be and luckily there was a member of the Waiting List Staff there and they checked my notes and said the operation would be done within 18 weeks of referral to the eye clinic, i.e.in February. I was pleased as this meant it would be done before the Acute appointment when the whole of my eye could be seen without a cataract in the way obscuring the back of my eye. As I hadn't heard anything, I contacted Moorfields at Bedford Hospital only to be told that the system appears to have been changed and the operation will not be done until 18 weeks from the date of the eye clinic appointment. i.e. approximately 2 months after the Acute Clinic appointment was due. Obviously I am very worried about what this increased time delay may cause to the diabetic changes in my eye, and although I have explained this to the Appointments Staff it has been to no avail. This is no reflection on Mr. Khan, who was caring and professional but it has shaken my confidence in Moorfields Hospital in Bedford.
My constructive suggestion would be to sort out the referral times.
Many thanks for your review. I have passed on your suggestions to the relevant people so we can improve our service.
