The Austin Diagnostic Center Circle C location added Dr. Aammar Khan to its team of medical professionals in August 2021. ADC-Circle C is growing along with the Austin area and Khan said there is a need for more providers as well as huge demand for specialized care.

Khan specializes in pediatrics and said he chose ADC-Circle C because the company has a long history of having established physicians within the community.

“The doctors here have been practicing for a long time and have a wide breadth of knowledge,” Khan said. “A big thing in medicine is continuing learning, thus having experienced doctors working as a team is always amazing.”

Khan said there are multiple reasons why he chose to specialize in pediatrics, including the ability to positively impact individuals’ future health outcomes.

“By far, pediatrics is the speciality where you can make the most long-lasting change on a person’s life,” Khan said. “If you optimize a child’s nutritional health, they will carry those habits into adulthood—it’s all about intervening early on and then that kid can go on to live a healthy and fulfilling life. It’s really rewarding to know that.”

He also enjoys working with a child’s family members to educate them about what he as a doctor is thinking.

“I try to incorporate families into discussions because the family is the main one taking care of the kiddos when you’re not there,” Khan said. I want to share my perspective with them, tell them what to look out for, and remind them to give me a call if necessary.”

ADC-Circle C primarily serves south and southwest Austin. The addition of providers will benefit clientele by adding more availability for acute sick visits and help to accommodate the surge of COVID-19 visits.

Of the 12 ADC locations, four to five of them have pediatrics services available to serve children from infancy to 18 years of age. Additionally, ADC-Circle C is a full-fledged clinic, meaning after patients graduate from their pediatric doctor, patients can easily transfer to a family medicine doctor located in the same building.

“This is nice because if there is ever an issue, doctors from family medicine can easily call back to pediatrics through our in-house service to figure things out,” Khan said.

ADC-Circle C is located at 5701 W. Slaughter Lane, Building C, Austin. Find more information about ADC-Circle C on their website or call 512-334-2500.
