About Us
I am Dr. Uzma Khan, a Board Certified Adult Rheumatologist with more than 20 years of experience. My education started in Pakistan and my passion for learning brought me to the USA. After several years of training on the East coast and Midwest, I have been a part of the Northwest community since 2004 - when I joined the Vancouver Clinic.
Now I am happy to establish my practice, AK Rheumatology. This is a decision close to my heart. I look forward to listen and understand my patients concerns, and it is my priority to make them feel well taken care of in a supportive environment.

THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
A.K. are the initials of my father's name, Anwar Ahmed Khan.
My Father was born and raised in India and was a professional Field Hockey player. Migrating to Pakistan in early 1950's, he joined the National Hockey Team and brought Pakistan its first Gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics. He was a big advocate of education and his legacy gives me the courage to be the best human and physician that I can be.
