Dr. Shawn Khademi obtained his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, CA. After a two-year interim working as a professional Research Scientist, he proceeded to obtain his doctorate at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago, IL. For three very demanding years afterward, he obtained his surgical training at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Boston, MA. Dr. Khademi was fortunate in that he had the opportunity to train with some of the most well-known and recognized practitioners in the country. His training covered the entire spectrum of the forefoot and rearfoot reconstructive surgery with particular emphasis on complex revisional surgery. He was elected Chief Resident during his final year of training.

Dr. Khademi is a firm believer in educating his patients on their condition and providing them with all possible treatment options. He advocates a conservative treatment approach when possible and recommends surgical intervention only when necessary. Additionally, he actively collaborates with other physicians and surgeons throughout the country in order to achieve the best clinical outcome for his patients.

After many years of living around the country for his studies and training, Dr. Khademi is happy to call Illinois home. Although he misses his native Seattle and tries to visit as much as possible, he has grown quite fond of the Midwest while living in the quiet Chicago suburbs. He enjoys spending time with his wife and loves to cook, travel, and explore new restaurants whenever possible!
