Samir Khanjar, MD 137 West High Street, Elkton, MD 21921

"I am using an alias. I have given Dr. Khanjar 4 stars. I have been Dr. Khanjar's patient for years. Like another reviewer on here, I have seen him address a staff member sternly. He even gets a tad stern with me if I don't follow every recommendation he makes. There is a fine line between reminding a patient about preventative care and chastising them for not following recommendations to the letter. He comes pretty close to crossing that line. I think he is a perfectionist and he gets frustrated with those who are not, lol. He obviously cares a lot about keeping his patients as healthy as possible. I don't think I would want to work for him, but am very happy to have him working for me! UPDATE 2-26-21: My rating has changed to one star. I have been Dr. Khanjar's patient for about 20 years. Apparently it has been a few years since I last saw him. This week I had an urgent need to see him. When I called for an appt., the office told me that I had not been in for three years so I am no longer considered a patient. I have to wait for a new patient appt. (after 20 years with him) and the next opening for that is five weeks from now. I can see how a Dr. might need to drop inactive patients. But I've never heard of one doing it to anyone and I don't think a patient should be dropped without warning/notice. I thought I was an established patient of a gyn and therefore my Dr. would see me pretty quickly if necessary. I would have done whatever I had to do to prevent being dropped if I had known about the policy. This "surprise you have no Dr." is not ok. I can't wait five weeks to be seen. I found a gyn that will see me next week (I hope I don't end up in the ER before then) and I will not return to Dr. Khanjar."

"I have had issues with this office now since December really. It started off a bill I received for a test and multiple calls back and forth between Myriad and the office that could have been avoided if the office staff were a little more educated on the situation. I was told results for a test regarding cancerous cells were POSITIVE over the phone, but then during my appoint two months later - as I was walking out I brought it up to my doctor who stated no they were negative. Second downfall, with my birth control. I had many issues with the first one they prescribed in october, they wanted me to finish out the three months and the follow up regardless. (Which I did) I am now falling into the same symptoms with a new bc, plus additional mood swings and worsening headaches. I have attempted to contact the office with NO answer and no way to leave a voicemail. It’s effecting my entire life. My appointment keeps getting canceled or pushed further. Although Nunez is very nice and her office is too, I feel like I will have to search for a new ob or get off of bc all together. This has been a horrible experience and I feel like she is picking things out of a hat some days."

"Super unprofessional. Just had an appointment recently just to be told that the information and results that I was given last time was false and that I was just “Too emotional to understand what he was saying last time” -Dr.Khanjar. He had performed a breast exam on me, along with a pelvic exam and didn’t even recall doing that, meaning he did not even note that he did these exams on me. Little strange. Thank gosh for me having a witness in the room to back me! He kept on saying I was way too emotional to comprehend information. He then proceeded to tell me “ I am looking at your results from your ultra sound now and there is absolutely no problems!” But when I went and got a second opinion, I was told otherwise. I was told some important information that is actually life changing (Too personal to share) that he just so happened to miss somehow ???!!! He is playing with my future at this point! He is playing with my life! Do not ever want anything to do with him ever again!!!! I completely discharged myself as a patient from him. HE IS TERRIBLE!"

"Dr.Khanjar delivered my very first baby, I will admit he was a little curt at first but, when i sat back and took into consideration he was on duty for 72 hours, and my son was baby maybe 40 for him that weekend my feelings changed a bit, so i think he deserves the benefit of the doubt. He is very concerned with making sure everyone is healthy and i think when it comes to this type of a job you should be concerned with your patients heatlh. I was happy with him and i am still with him 5 years later, and starting the process to have my next baby with him as my Dr again. Not everyone is bubbly all the time, i think he just wants people doing what needs to be done to ensure both mom and baby are well in the end. I really like him appreciate his dedication to his craft."

"Dr. Khanjar delivered my son. We moved late in my pregnancy and he was quick to get to know me and my preferences and when I mentioned that my son had been breech at my last check up he immediately ordered an ultrasound and asked me if I wanted to attempt an inversion. He performed that procedure on me and was as comforting as a doctor could be through it and then ultimately performed my C-section. He ensured that I was constantly well-informed and taken care of and may have come across as condescending to the nurses but as a patient it felt like I had a knowledgeable doctor making sure no one tried to cut any corners with me. I had difficulty getting my blood work results transferred from my previous doctor and he was a huge help in keeping me from stressing about that while pregnant. I recovered quickly and it felt like he was always at my back and really took the time to make everything go smoothly for me, not even necessarily for the interests of his practice. I suggest him to anyone looking!"
