Your visit

What to expect at your appointment

You don't need a GP referral to see Dr Khan privately at The Alexandra — self-funded and insured patients can book directly, either through the hospital's booking system or by sending an enquiry to Dr Khan's team.

At your first consultation, Dr Khan will take a full history and discuss your symptoms or concerns in detail. Where a cardiac assessment is needed, this is often arranged the same day through the hospital's One Stop Clinic — meaning an ECG can be performed and reviewed with you before you leave, rather than waiting for a separate appointment.

If further investigation is required — an echocardiogram, Holter monitor, exercise stress test, or cross-sectional imaging — this can usually be arranged at the same hospital. Should treatment be needed, The Alexandra's hybrid cardiac theatre means interventional procedures can also take place onsite, with Dr Khan managing your care throughout.
