Making sense of complex illness takes more than good medical care

Conditions like Long COVID, POTS, ME/CFS, Lyme disease, and other complex chronic illnesses can make it hard to know what matters most.

You can have excellent doctors, extensive testing, and stacks of research—and still feel unsure about how it all fits together or what deserves your attention right now. You need more support than a medical visit can provide.

That’s where I can help. I understand complex illness from both sides: I’m a physician, and I also live with long COVID. That experience shapes how I work with clients. I bring clinical experience, coaching, and the perspective of a patient to help you make sense of your medical picture.

Together, we evaluate treatment options, track what matters, and prepare for appointments—so your medical visits are more focused and effective.

Spend less time trying to solve everything on your own. Get clearer on what matters now and what to do next.

Services

Two ways to work with me

I offer two kinds of one-on-one support, depending on where you need help most.

Health Strategy

Make sense of the medical picture and decide what deserves your attention next.

Health Strategy is for people navigating complex or chronic illness—like long COVID, POTS, Lyme—who need help understanding how their healthcare needs fit together.

We can organize your medical history, evaluate treatment options, identify what to track, prepare for appointments, and clarify your next steps.

“When you're battling a chronic illness every day, it's easy to get stuck in the weeds. Working with Dr. Khan helped me take a step back and think more strategically about my goals and pacing techniques. It was really helpful to speak with someone who truly understands what it is like to live with this illness.”

“Dr. Khan applied her expertise to ensure that I was prepared for my upcoming appointments. I immediately left the consult with an action plan and felt confident implementing it. Acting independently, I'm always second-guessing myself, intimidated by medical providers. With Dr. Khan I felt reassured, prepared and set-up for success.”

Private Coaching

Not every difficult decision is a medical one.

Private Coaching offers space to think through career, identity, and major life transitions with an experienced physician-coach. That may mean returning to work or rebuilding your life after illness, reconsidering a career that no longer fits, or navigating an unexpected change in direction.

You don’t need to be managing a complex illness to work with me. I also coach physicians and other professionals who want thoughtful, individualized support as they decide what comes next.

“Dr Khan’s public voice is powerful, and her private support is even more so. Her guidance has become the quiet force behind my own development. Let her be your secret weapon, too.”
