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.
