Kidney care specialist Farhan Khan, MD, has joined FHN and will begin seeing patients May 1 at the FHN Family Healthcare Center – Stephenson Street.
"Two of our country’s biggest healthcare problems – diabetes and hypertension – affect or are affected by the kidneys," said Dr. Khan. "I work with my patients to repair damage that’s been done and to prevent further damage to the kidneys, with the goal of achieving the best possible kidney function."
Dr. Khan graduated at the top of his class with a medical degree from Universidad Iberoamericana in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, a World Health Organization-recognized medical school program. He completed an internal medicine/pediatrics residency at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria before completing a two-year nephrology fellowship at University of Missouri Health Sciences in Columbia, Mo.
