About Khalid H Safi

Professional Statement

Dr. Safi earned his Bachelor of Science in medicine and general surgery (MBBS) from Jordan University of Science and Technology in Irbid, Jordan. He has completed two pediatric residencies, a pediatric pulmonary fellowship and a sleep medicine fellowship. Dr. Safi has presented, published and participated in almost 40 different projects and publications.

    Dr. Safi is yet another one of my child's team who lives up to the Dayton Children's moto of going above and beyond! He is often the first or one of the first to notice something is not right. He catches subtle signs that get overlooked, even if they might be technically out of his area, though they really are not. He cares about my child as a whole person, which is what a good doctor should do. He is superb, and I cannot say enough good about him!

    Our sleep medicine experience has been fantastic. Dr. Safi took our concerns seriously and had a great repertoire with our neurodiverse son that had previous medical trauma. He ensured that a well-trained and kind nurse(?) show him the facility and equipment before his actual sleep study to help ensure a successful test - and it made such an incredible difference. The actual night of the sleep study, we experienced expert, compassionate care from nurse Mandy as well. She did an incredible job with our son and made us as parents feel more at ease as well. She really did go above and beond. While we haven't recieved the results from the sleep study yet, we are now completely sold on Dayton Childrens' for our kids' care. We drive all the way from Cincinnati because our experience with your audiology, ENT, and now sleep medicine has been so superior in every way. We are grateful to have found Dr. Safi, Dr. Knecht, and every spectacular scheduling and support staff we've encountered to help us navigate our son's complex medical issues.
