“I’ve known that I wanted to be an oncologist since I was 10 years old, when my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer, and I met her oncologists. I remember the attention, compassion, emotional support, and care they provided, and the difference it made to get us through the long days of treatment.

“With this always in mind, I strive to provide encompassing care to you that’s not limited to medications, but incorporates interaction with respect, communication, and compassion. I listen to you, and I’m aggressive in organizing your care to ensure that your treatment is as beneficial as possible.”

  • "Dr. Khalid was recommended to me by my trusted GP who described her as being extremely knowledgeable and professional. She was right. Dr. Khalid guided me along a painstaking journey to discover the reason for a set of symptoms I had been suffering from for some time, and which no one else had frankly been able to decipher. My GP had confidence that Dr. Khalid would be able to get to the bottom of my issues. It was not easy. Dr. Khalid asked me many questions and listened carefully to what I had to say. She spent a great deal of time with me, gathering as much information as she could. Other than my GP, no other specialist had done this. I have found it to be rare in the current climate of the field of medicine. I know that she must be under pressure to move patients along as all doctors are, but she gives each of us the great gift of her time. What struck me most was Dr. Khalid’s true interest in my case. It is clear that she loves the challenge of zeroing in on a diagnosis, and her excitement, when she made a positive discovery from my tests, was palpable. It made me feel seen and cared for. Luckily, my situation seems to be moving toward a positive outcome, but I know that she will follow whatever remaining steps she needs to take in order to reach a true conclusion. It is clear to me that Dr. Khalid is a born researcher. She has an inquiring mind and is driven to find answers. She could easily have followed a career in research, away from patients, but that is clearly not at the heart of what drives her. In a video on her website, she describes how her grandmother’s cancer journey cemented her decision to become a doctor. I believe that that was the beginning of Dr. Khalid’s commitment to her patients, and I feel so lucky to be one of them."

  • "Doctor Ayesha is very caring and explains everything in detail no matter how complicated the subject matter is. Patients are never rushed. I will continue to go to see her besides a change in her work location which is a bit farther and difficult to reach from my area."
