I went to Dr. Khella post-operatively from spinal surgery, as I was still having a significant amount of problems in my legs, myelopathy. After a brief exam, which seemed like a joke, this doctor was fixated on not believing anything which I was saying. He danced around in his tap shoes like he was on stage for the Oscars, making statements and discredits about my experiences. My suffering, and improvement post-op, meant nothing to him. It was a waste of time and co-pay to see him. I felt like walking out on him. What a nega... read more
I have had a few visits with Khella. A single fiber EMG was performed on me about a year ago and he diagnosed me with ocular myasthenia gravis. Since my one neurologist was away, I decided to have him care for me. Second visit was one on one, didn’t ask me questions, and I had to explain my double vision issues. He suggested to go on IVIg to fix everything. Had the loading phase for 5 days, but my insurance denied me monthly maintenance. Dr Khella said it’s my insurance, he doesn’t understand why it’s not covered after he di... read more
Called office that I would be 1/2+ hour late due to traffic. Told to continue and he would adjust to accommodate me. Seen quickly on arrival and still afforded a full hour of time. Dr. Khella listened attentively to my symptoms and the diagnosis of a complex and rare condition. He was extremely knowledgeable and said there were still loose ends in my diagnosis. He ordered further comprehensive tests, some of which were started immediately after the session. Referral to an expert on my condition was made along with the briefi... read more
Dr. Khella has given me back my life after my diagnosis. of myasthenia gravis. From not being able to do daily activities I can now function fully and lead a normal life. He is compassionate and very thorough. He cares about the whole patient.
I have a disabling small fiber neuropathy condition in my feet. He was very compassionate during our visit and put me on the proper medication. I’m playing tennis now. He’s one of those doctors who knows what he’s doing. The kind you want.
My last Neuro appointment at penn VS. This provider was night & day. Waited *months* in hopes of further testing, explanation, and treatment. Short visit w/ no direction. Will be seeking second opinion.
Arrogant and not interested in factual symptoms and diagnostics, explaining anything, or helping you. He tried discrediting everything I was telling him, and I had to repeat my questions to him to get a truthful answer. He is more about showmanship than practicing real medicine and caring for the patient. I have a spinal cord injury with neurological problems for years. He was just about useless for any direction. Interesting, my neurosurgeon wants me to continue to see a neurologist, and Dr. Khella said that I would not nee... read more
After getting an MRI and XRay showing nothing wrong I went into Penn’s neurology department to try to get some kind of answers as to why I have moderate back pain that interferes with my everyday life and this is the Dr. they assigned to me I suppose. I went in and he saw me for about 10 minutes. I described my situation and without running any kind of tests he somehow came to the conclusion that I have tension headaches and he prescribed me 60mg of propranolol. I told him that I do not think I get tension headaches but he c... read more
Dr. Khella performed an exam & recommended an MRI on my 1st visit. MRI revealed trauma to the lumbar spine with a diagnosis of Myelomalacia. I appreciate his decision for an MRI & diagnosis. But there was a lack of effort on his follow up. I requested a call back twice (voice & email) to discuss next steps. His response came after 7 days: "There is nothing to do" "See me in 6 mo's". The condition is painful & can worsen with time. The Dr.'s lack of courtesy post diagnosis is NOT appreciated.
