Daniel Khan, MD

A stay in the hospital during his teen years inspired Dr. Daniel Khan, M.D., to become a doctor. He was still in high school, but he knew he wanted to help others the way the physicians had helped him. He became an EMT, shadowed doctors, and went on to complete years of rigorous training. Now as a family physician, Dr. Daniel Khan is doing what he was meant to do.

“I really love being a doctor,” he said. “I love being able to use the knowledge that I’ve accumulated over 13 years of training to help my patients.”

He chose a family medicine focus because it encompassed everything in primary care. “It was what I originally envisioned when I wanted to be a doctor, treating patients of all ages,” he said. “During our clinical studies, no other rotation could even compare with family medicine.”

Dr. Khan joined Vanguard because of its patient-first focus. He chose the Jersey City location because of its diversity. “I come from a diverse background myself,” he said. “I appreciate racial diversity, multilingual diversity, sexual orientations, and other differences. I want to meet patients where they are on their health journeys and help them feel their best.”

Patients like that Dr. Khan takes the time to talk with them. “I explain things and then I listen. I want to make sure that they feel heard and empowered in their healthcare. That’s what I want as a patient myself. I want my doctor to hear my concerns and address them.”

When he’s not working, Dr. Khan enjoys playing soccer and cheering for his favorite teams, the New York Red Bulls and England’s Liverpool. He and his wife have a newborn son.
