Waqas Khan, MD

Many people have heard of or seen firsthand the unexpected devastation of a heart attack, but we rarely discuss successful treatments. I chose to pursue a career in cardiology after witnessing the positive outcomes of treatment following a heart attack.

As part of NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island, my team and I provide comprehensive cardiac care from consultations to in-office testing, such as nuclear stress testing and echocardiograms. I treat patients over the age of 18 with a range of heart conditions, including coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, congenital heart disease, hypertension, valvular heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease. I perform catheterizations, angiograms, angioplasty for coronary artery and peripheral artery disease, and pulmonary function test closures at our practice.

I believe that people should be treated as unique individuals. Every person that comes to me for treatment should be seen as a person first, then a patient. People should feel comfortable discussing all aspects of their life with me, not just medical issues.

I am a member of the American College of Cardiology. I was honored as a Doctor of Distinction in 2018 by Long Island Pulse Magazine.
