Philosophy of care | It’s important for me to get close to a patient. You need to be able to express your concerns to me freely. I treat every patient as I would a member of my family. That’s the hallmark of my patient-centered care. | Why I entered medicine | As a small child, I went along to a lot of doctor appointments and saw how kindly physicians treated my family members. I’ve always had an interest in science and, as I got older, those experiences seemed to come back to me. Now I enjoy helping people in the same way. | Community involvement | We have a local community center in my area and I’ve gone down there to help out with community elections, with people having insurance difficulties, and with different educational events for people in need. I just enjoy helping out where I can. It’s my way of giving back for all the good things I’ve experienced in my life. | Personal interests | Family time is really important to me, whether it’s traveling or just staying home to watch a movie. Even getting the chance to go for walks is something special. Dr. Khan is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Philosophy of care | My philosophy is doing what’s best for you and keeping you as informed as possible about your health care to reach the best outcome. | Why I entered medicine | As a child and young adult I looked up to a lot of people in the medical field and that made a big impression on me. I enjoyed the sciences from an early age and, when the time came, decided to apply those skills to the field of medicine. I also knew I wanted to practice in a community setting in Pennsylvania like my father and grandfather did before me. | Community involvement | Most of my volunteer work has been with area youth organizations. I have been president and administrative official of the local YMCA swim team for seven years. I volunteer and assist in the organization of multiple charity races and triathlons that benefit the community. | Personal interests | I spend free time cycling, running, swimming, skiing, water skiing, fishing, hunting and pretty much anything outdoors. But my focus now is my family, their interests and future. Dr. Pollock is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
