Muhammad Akram Khan, MD, MBA, FACC, FSCAI, is a cardiovascular specialist at the Cardiac Center of Texas in McKinney, Texas. Dr. Khan completed his cardiology and interventional cardiology fellowships at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, and has been practicing non-invasive and interventional cardiology in McKinney since 1997. Board certified in cardiovascular medicine and interventional cardiology, Dr. Khan is also certified by The American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine.
On the interventional cardiology front, Dr. Khan utilizes new technology, techniques, and new devices at his practice to enhance service to his patients. Of note, he was the first cardiologist in Collin County to deploy a drug-eluting stent in 2003. He is well-equipped and skilled in all kinds of coronary and peripheral interventions. His expertise in peripheral vascular disease includes minimally invasive surgical treatment of carotid artery stenosis, peripheral vascular disease, and abdominal aortic aneurysm endovascular treatment.
On the non-invasive side, he has state-of-the-art equipment in-office to complete comprehensive cardiac evaluations under one roof. Other services offered in-office include echocardiograms, stress tests, EKG, angiography through CT technology, and pacemaker analysis.
Dr. Khan is actively involved in clinical studies and has been conducting research at his practice since 2002. He established the North Dallas Research Associates in McKinney, where he currently conducts research trials.
In addition to practicing medicine, Dr. Khan has been very instrumental in the McKinney Medical Center and developed a separate cardiology section there in 1999. He was the first Chief of Cardiology at the Medical Center of McKinney and was the Chief of Medicine at Presbyterian Hospital of Allen in 2003. Dr. Khan has also been involved in other medical centers in the area, including Centennial Medical Center in Frisco, Medical Center of Plano, and Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital - Plano. When he is not practicing medicine, Dr. Khan enjoys spending time with his two teenagers and one preschooler at home in Frisco.
Dr. Khan is a member of the Texas Medical Association, American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, International Society of Endovascular Specialists, American College of Phlebology, and Association of Clinical Research Professionals. He was also selected as a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and the Society for Cardiac Angiography and Intervention.
Sunila Philips, MD, FAAFP, is a board-certified family physician and primary care doctor who has been providing comprehensive healthcare services to individuals living in and around Plano and McKinney, Texas, since 2011. She brings more than a decade of outpatient, inpatient, and long-term care experience to Wellness Medicine McKinney.
Dr. Philips earned her medical degree from Dr.B.R Ambedkar Medical College in Bangalore, India. She then moved to the United States, where she completed her residency in family medicine at New York Medical College - St.Joseph's Family Medicine Program. Subsequently, she completed her Fellowship in geriatric medicine at New York Medical College - Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center.
Dr.Philips is a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians, a member of the American Geriatric Society, and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. She is affiliated with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Plano and Medical City Plano.
Dr.Philips has built a strong reputation for excellence in providing compassionate care to patients of all ages. She places a high priority on prevention-based care, wellness strategies, health education, and risk assessment tailored to promote healing and wellbeing. Her special interest in anti-aging and regenerative medicine led her to take advanced training in medical aesthetics - injectables (Botox®, Dysport®, and dermal fillers), laser medical aesthetics, IPL (Intense Pulse Light), Kybella®, sclerotherapy, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), microneedling, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapies, including female rejuvenation.
In her spare time, she enjoys traveling and spending quality time with her two sons and husband. She resides in Frisco and is looking forward to providing quality medical care for the residents of McKinney and surrounding communities.
