Dr. Abadin’s passion for medicine was sparked by a lifelong love of math, science and helping others. 

“The marriage of these three, along with the human element of medical practice, supported my pursuit of a career in medicine,” he said. 

Drawn to the detective work involved in endocrine surgery, Dr. Abadin is especially interested in how hormonal imbalances can cause complex symptoms. He takes time to listen to patients’ concerns and focuses on long-term goals and quality of life. 

“My job as an endocrine surgeon is to improve a patient’s life – either through symptom relief or by treating conditions, like cancer, that may threaten their future,” said Dr. Abadin. 

Dr. Abadin joined OSF HealthCare because of its strong investment in the local community and its commitment to comprehensive care. Originally from Milwaukee, he now lives in Illinois with his wife, also a physician, and their three children. He enjoys playing tennis, pickleball and cheering at his kids’ sporting events.
