Michelle Webb
Hello! My name is Michelle and I’m one of Dr Khans assistants here. I support the front and back office. I like to help out wherever I’m needed! If you don’t find me sitting at the front desks checking patients in/out or answering the phones, then I’m in the back office with our technologists or getting patients ready for their appointments with Dr Khan. I enjoy seeing our patients arrive knowing they’re in good hands with me. I’m glad to be a part of this office staff. In my free time, I like to relax with something comical to watch on TV.

Mercedes Martinez
Hi everyone! My name Is Mercedes. Growing up I always knew I wanted to be in the medical field.
I began my career as an EMT and later pursued a career as a Medical Assistant. I have been in the medical field for 10 years and have enjoyed every minute of it.
The Cardiovascular field holds a very special place in my heart as my father passed away from cardiac disease. It has been a blessing to work alongside Dr. Zia Khan over the past 5 years and be allowed to learn more about cardiovascular disease and how to treat and manage it.
My goal at Desert Cardiovascular Consultants has always been to provide top patient care and treat each patient as a family member of ours.
I feel very fortunate to be able to provide exceptional patient care to patients who may not be experiencing their best moments dealing with cardiovascular disease.
I have learned so much throughout the years and look forward to growing and expanding my knowledge even further at DCC.
