Dr. Ahmed M. Khan graduated magna cum laude from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology, anatomy and physiology. He earned his medical degree from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. Dr. Khan completed his residency in neurological surgery at Brown University. He also completed an internship in general surgery at the University of Connecticut. Dr. Khan is chief of neurosurgery at The Hospital of Central Connecticut and an assistant clinical professor of neurosurgery at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. He is a member of the board of directors of the Hartford County Medical Association.
Dr. Khan’s practice involves complex spine and cranial surgery. He implements the latest techniques in stereotactic radiosurgery, disc replacement and minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. He is one of the few Connecticut neurosurgeons who perform spine and brain radiosurgery.
To keep abreast of current technology, Dr. Khan is actively involved in research regarding lumbar disc replacements and stem cell technology for spinal fusions. He regularly consults on the development of spinal implants and teaches advanced techniques through workshops and lectures. Dr. Khan also treats patients for chronic pain by using many successful procedures, including the implantation of spinal stimulators. He performs the majority of his surgeries at The Hospital of Central Connecticut in New Britain.
“I try to treat patients as a whole and understand the other aspects of their lives,” says Dr. Khan. “So many things go with patients’ illnesses—inability to work, relationships with family, financial issues. I like to think that in our practice we help people in a complete manner, rather than focus exclusively on medical issues.”

I'm glad to see no. 7 is Dr Cohen. In my opinion he's no 1 but I have no way of judging the top 6. He operated on me in 2001 because I was high risk of getting colon cancer it was felt. I'm still here 11 years later doc! I'm fine w/respect to the surgery but do have an issue with a lumbar bone out of place and am dealing w/that now. Things are much better since I had the two Epidural shots. I get the third tommorow. You go Dr. Cohen!

Dr. Gary Price has gone above and beyond his call of duty . I have had several procedures done by him and wouldn't think of going to anyone else. He has done a complete face lift on me. Several laser treatments and a couple of touch up mini lifts. I'm considering having liposuction by him. If anyone out there is considering cosmetic work done you should definitely have a consultation with Gary Price.
A grateful and satisfied patient

Dr Gerstenhaber is the BEST Pulmonary
Doctor in the New Haven area. He is extremely smart and knows more than his specialty.
He is kind and compassionate and has a wonderful way of appropriately infusing humor into what can be
a tense situation...
I commend him for his tremendous work ethic and feel so grateful that he cared for each of my parents and now myself.
I can only say thank you for always being so available to us.

Dr. Neil Floch and the staff of Fairfield County Bariatrics have afforded me a second chance for a more active and healthier life. In June of 2011 at 68 yrs old Dr. Neil performed RNY Gastric Bypass at Norwalk Hospital and as of 10 mos post op I have lost 102 lbs and gain a second chance to enjoy life more fully. I left the hospital completely offm of the three type 2 diabetes meds I had been on for 12+ years. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Floch and Fairfield County Bariatrics and fully endorse the excellent level of care that I experienced both pre and post op and would urge anyone considering wls to them.
