“Coming across Dr. Ahn was the best thing that could have ever happened for the sake of my feet. I’ve been suffering for years of flat feet but eventually got in the way of my everyday life. It was decided that the best thing for me was hyprocure surgery plus orthotics. The expirience overall couldn’t be any better. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming and couldn’t be in better hands.”

Meet
Dr. T.J. Ahn
Hi! My name is Dr. T.J. Ahn, and I am so glad that you found us. I have been practicing in Chicagoland since 2003. I am currently board-certified with ABMSP(American Board of Multiple Specialties in Podiatry) and a fellow of AAFAS (Academy of Ambulatory Foot & Ankle Surgery).
I specialize in Minimally Invasive Foot Surgery and Sports Medicine, and my practice philosophy is simple: to treat every patient with my heart and to fix the cause of the foot problems. I am originally from Seoul, South Korea 27 years ago, and earned my Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree right here in Chicago. I happen to speak fluent English, Spanish, Korean, and Japanese. I truly believe that patients feel more comfortable and relaxed during the visit as I speak in their mother languages.

“Real talk - as far as visits to the doctor goes, both trips to Dr. Ahn were far and away the best I’ve ever had. I mean, I’ve had visits where the diagnosis was better or the candy was fancier or better daytime television was on, but as far as the staff actually caring about providing patients with a positive experience, Dr. Ahn and his staff is as good as it gets.”
Scott S.
