Dr. Zahid chose OSF HealthCare due to its impeccable reputation centering around our Mission to provide high-quality health care with an emphasis on compassion toward patients. He is looking forward to working with an exceptional and qualified group of physicians and nurses to provide the highest level of foot and ankle care to Peoria area residents.

“An appointment with me starts with building a partnership with my patients to formulate a treatment plan that’s specific to their needs,” Dr. Zahid said. “I want them to know that patient edu­ca­tion is a pri­or­i­ty of mine, and I’ll strive to make sure they under­stand their con­di­tion and treat­ment plan.”  

Podiatry is a surgical specialty that encompasses many branches of medicine, and the profession is always evolving for the better. Dr. Zahid chose podiatry because of the opportunity to create highly unique, holistic and multifaceted relationships with patients in a way that is different from other medical professions. The balance of being medically and surgically oriented in this field is something he enjoys.  

Dr. Zahid grew up in Springfield, Illinois, and enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, traveling, reading and playing sports. He’s also an avid sports fan.
