Great results. I've now had Dr K do two of three orthopedic surgeries. I've been very diligent with PT after all three surgeries. The left knee and left shoulder that he worked on both had severe damage, but they are now better than before surgery. The Dr that performed the surgery on my right shoulder, had less damage to deal with and poorer results. Hopefully I will not need a fourth orthopedic surgery, but if I do, I'm coming back to Dr K.

Dr. Khalfayan has performed two surgeries on our teenage son for baseball-related elbow and knee injuries, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his care. His expertise is outstanding, and it’s clear he truly enjoys what he does. Most importantly, he genuinely cares about his patients. We felt supported every step of the way, and our son is healing beautifully. We highly recommend Dr. Khalfayan.

Dr Khalfayan is an excellent surgeon and the post-surgery follow up visits with him have detailed explanations of the healing to date.

Dr Khalfayan always takes the time to answer every question I have about the latest sports injury. He's thoughtful, proactive and kind while also being a brilliant surgeon who has a network all over Western Washington.
