I support my patients throughout the treatment process and respect the significance of the special, almost sacrosanct, relationship oncologists share with their patients.
From the start, Ziad Khan, M.D., knew he wanted to be the kind of physician who bonds with his patients. Born and raised in Southern California, he traveled to Pakistan for medical school where he graduated at the top of his class. Shortly after graduating from medical school, he became both a caregiver and advocate for his mother, who was his first patient, when she was diagnosed with brain cancer. His personal and professional experience has allowed him to see both sides of patient care and develop close relationships with his patients.
Dr. Khan's broad training ranges from his degree at Shifa College of Medicine in Islamabad to internship and residency at the UT Houston/MD Anderson Cancer Center, to fellowships in hematology and oncology at UC Irvine Medical Center. He's done research in stem cell transplant and breast cancer and has presented at various national medical conferences.
Dr. Khan, who sees patients at City of Hope's Colton facility, enjoys being a community physician with ties to a major cancer center, enabling him to give patients “excellent care close to home.”
