Biography
Dr. Khan is dedicated to the lifelong care of adults who were born with congenital heart disease. She enjoys her work because it offers her the chance to form strong bonds with patients and their families. She understands the transition from childhood to adult care can be stressful for some patients, and works to ease this transition in any way she can. Dr. Khan also has a strong interest in caring for women with heart problems of all types who are pregnant or contemplating pregnancy.
Dr. Khan recently moved to Oregon from the East Coast and is enjoying exploring the area with her husband and children. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her kids, reading and hiking.
