Dr. Khokhar then joined the Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital, where he would eventually become the Chief of Ophthalmology.

Due to his expertise and contributions to the field of ophthalmology, Dr. Khokhar has been given awards by various scientific bodies.
In addition to performing LASIK surgeries, Dr. Khokhar also trains aspiring LASIK specialists. He is a member of various medical associations in Texas, including the Texas Medical Association, the Harris County Medical Society, the Houston Ophthalmologic Society, and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons. He regularly visits local organizations to spread awareness about eye health and volunteers at community health clinics in the area.
