During my interactions with Dr. Muhammad S. Khan, I developed significant concerns about both his professional approach and his use of technology in patient sessions.

Dr. Muhammad S. Khan appeared to rely heavily on a single diagnostic framework, specifically Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), while dismissing alternative perspectives and evidence. In our discussions, he asserted that medical literature and scientific journals addressing the use of medication in treating mental health conditions were incorrect, and that his approach—focused exclusively on coping mechanisms—was the only valid method. He further suggested that BPD is innate at birth and must be managed solely through coping strategies, rather than pharmacological interventions. I found this stance troubling, particularly given the breadth of established scientific research supporting a range of treatment modalities, including medication, for psychiatric care.

In addition, Dr. Muhammad S. Khan employed a transcription program known as Dragon during a private consultation. While this software transcribes verbal communication, it also creates and stores encrypted audio files to allow later review for dictation accuracy. This practice raises serious privacy concerns. In my view, it may constitute a violation of Pennsylvania’s wiretap law, as patient conversations were recorded without explicit consent. The Lebanon County District Attorney’s Office as well as the Cornwall Borough Police Department were contacted regarding this matter and formally requested an investigation into the use of such transcription devices in medical settings.

In summary, my experience with Dr. Muhammad S. Khan left me deeply concerned about both the clinical approach taken and the handling of patient confidentiality.
