Dr. Sumbal Khan
Meet your physician
I’m an internist with extensive experience managing acute and chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, depression, anxiety, and more.
I have a special interest in weight management and am pursuing board certification in Obesity Medicine. I believe in addressing the root of the problem and by introducing a robust weight management program, I aspire to not only improve my patient’s overall health but to reverse weight-linked disease for longevity and a better quality of life.
My Philosophy
“I strongly believe that compassion and empathy are as much a component of the art and science of Medicine as is the knowledge and skills we spend years to acquire as physicians. I named my practice ‘Aroha’ which is a Māori word with layers of meanings including compassion, empathy, kindness, and of course, love. I hope to provide comprehensive care to my patients with compassion and a commitment to excellence.”
