Adnan Khan, MD

Dr Khan would be a great fit for patients who have no opinion and knowledge about their healthcare and are new to pain.
He listens, is friendly and then makes a plan that in no way takes into consideration your opinion about your body and disease. No compromise and NO compassion at all. I was honest and eager to work with him and after our long meeting, I felt gutted and bullied and minimized. I have struggled with chronic illness for over 8 years and am never opposed to a new treatment but Dr. Khan seems to have no concept of the emotional and physical toll of chronic pain. He also did not accept my personal extensive research or years of experience. He was sure to tell me he’d studied with «top neurologists regarding migraine,» but I do wonder if he’s ever experienced a migraine himself. If he himself went through 8 years of relentless head pain and countless unsuccessful treatments, I wonder if he’d be so cocky.

I really wish I had found Dr Khan when I first moved to Austin. Instead I found dr Bengston. Horrible experience. I continued seeing him because his was the first place that that accepted Medicare. Bengston was so horrible that I finally asked my pcp to recommend another pain management dr.
He referred me to Dr Khan. It was like night & day. Dr Khan took his time, spoke with me (opposed to talking at me), is very empathetic & kind.
It was pretty stupid on on my part to keep seeing Bengston. DO NOT SEE DR BENGSTON. You will have a horrible experience, regret going & it will be a waste of your time. He also charted complete lies about me.

I’m not sure how I would have managed the pain of an ankle fracture without the services of Dr. Khan. He’s a genuinely caring physician who takes the time to listen. The office staff is friendly yet professional and I can honestly say I’ll miss going there when I no longer need their services.

The Good Lord must have been looking after me when he brought me to Doctor Kahn’s doorstep.
Two years ago, state medical boards and federal regulatory agencies were increasingly threatening internists, orthopedists, and other non-​pain doctors who were treating their regular patients having chronic pain.
I had had recurring, steady pain since a surgery in 2008. And faced with potential trouble from regulators, my internist was becoming increasingly cautious about writing my repeating pain pill prescription. My doctor suggested I use a pain specialist at Austin Pain Associates, a group she considered to be top-​notch.
This change worried me, because, at seventy two, my quality of life is greatly dependent on controlling my pain.
Happily these worries turned out to be totally unfounded. It happened I was assigned to work with Doctor Kahn, at APA. He helped me find a level of meds that properly match my pain. And we explored and used several alternate means of controlling the pain, working with his colleagues at APA, who represent a broad range of disciplines, all in one way or another, related to pain control.
This recommendation could go on for pages. The folks at APA are kind, caring, and professional. They have an awesome automated patient management and communication system. Their telephone notification system is very high quality and designed for patients. They have a new patient web ‘portal’ system putting you in contact with your lab reports and patient records.
But the best of APA are the people who comprise the group. They are consistently kind and caring, and they understand how delicate the patient’s psyche can be when suffering from chronic pain.
APA has specialists in ‘naturopathic’ medicine and a very nice department, specializing on matters of the psyche, like, anxiety, depression, and sleep problem.
