Review
In c2021 I was given a month to live. I had heart failure. I was contacted by Dr Kahn who offered me the chance to have a pacemaker and defibrillator fitted. He discussed everything in a three way phone conversation with my Daughter and Son. He told me having this procedure would extend my life. He explained in terms we would understand and needless to say we said yes. Dr Kahn was lovely and put me completely at my ease. It’s now 2025 and I’m still living my life Thank You Dr Kahn from me and my Son and Daughter. You truly are amazing Kate M

My first consultation with Dr Kahn was at the Spire Hospital. I had been waiting for a appointment with a cardiologist since being diagnosed with fast AF at Manchester Royal Infirmary, after attending Accident and Emergency.Dr Kahn ordered a ECHO, and I was later diagnosed with Acute Heart Failure.The care I received from Dr Kahn and his team was at the highest level.I was extremely fortunate to have been seen by Dr Kahn, he is a truly remarkable gentleman who is totally driven by the needs of his patients. I was later referred to Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital where I was treated by Dr Kahn he ordered a MRI heart investigation and a cardioversion. I received first class service within a few weeks. I am finally getting my life back on track after receiving the cardioversion and the medications treating my heart condition.I am truly grateful for the outstanding treatment,professionalism, care, and dedication I have received throughout my journey and cannot thank him and his team enough, especially his PA Sarah Jane who was always helpful and supportive at this worrying time.

I seriously cannot fault the treatment I received. Dr Kahn and all the staff were amazing. Last year when I had the procedure, I had a lot going on personally in my life and also had to relocate from Manchester. The team are so proactive and helpful contacting my consultants in Manchester discussing my needs. This took a lot of Stress away from me. I will always be in the teams debt. Many thanks and much appreciated. Please note I was seen and treated at LHCH
