A board-certified neurologist practising in Queens since 1987 — and the reason Premier Neurology runs the way it does: thorough evaluations, unhurried appointments, and a clear explanation of what is actually going on.
Dr. Intazam U. Khan is a board-certified neurologist who has practised in Queens since 1987, caring for patients across Astoria, Long Island City, Jackson Heights and the wider New York metro area. He founded Premier Neurology on a straightforward premise: neurological care should be thorough, unhurried, and genuinely accessible — not something patients wait months for and then rush through in fifteen minutes.
He earned his medical degree from Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College in 1987, completed an internship in internal medicine at Queens Hospital Center, and trained in neurology in residency with Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He is board certified in neurology by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
His practice spans the full breadth of adult neurology, from the everyday conditions that quietly erode quality of life — chronic headache, peripheral neuropathy, persistent dizziness — to complex, hard-to-classify presentations that have already been through several specialists without a clear answer. Dr. Khan is frequently asked to review these cases as a second opinion.
Patients consistently describe the same experience: someone who listens to the whole story before reaching for a test, explains the reasoning in plain language, and treats the person rather than the scan. That approach shapes every part of how the practice runs.
Neurology is a discipline of listening. We take the full story before reaching for a test, because the story is usually where the diagnosis lives.
We order the studies that will change the plan — not a panel of everything available. Fewer, better-chosen tests get to an answer faster.
Every finding is explained in plain language, and you leave knowing what the diagnosis means, what the treatment does, and what happens next.
The same physician follows your case from the first visit onward, and your referring doctor receives a written summary after every appointment.
Our office sits inside the Astoria Medical Center on 30th Road, a few minutes from the N and W trains. Patients come from Astoria, Long Island City, Jackson Heights, Sunnyside and across Queens, as well as from Manhattan and Brooklyn for second opinions.
Dr. Khan holds admitting privileges and hospital affiliations across the New York metro area, so if your care needs to move to a hospital setting, it moves with someone who already knows your case.
