Patient Comments: (Newest on top)

Dr. Lakhani has taken over the practice Dr. Blevins left behind when he moved to California. He is very intelligent, and listens very well to what the patient has to say. He told me that he was willing to test as long as I wanted or needed to in order to either diagnose or rule out Cushing's disease.

He has done a ton of pituitary surgeries, although not as many Cushing's specific.

He did my transphenoidal removal of Cushing's tumor and half of pituitary. Also repaired CSF leak from bronchitis 15 days later. Did a great job both times. Would highly recommend.
