About me

Dr. Kheradi is double boarded in Sports Medicine and Emergency medicine. He believes in providing high quality, individualized, whole-person care. His experience includes evaluating and treating patients from the initial injury to complete resolution and healing. He has a passion for education and working with patients to make them stronger and more resilient than before their injury. He focuses on maximizing function with both active and passive interventions.

He received his Undergraduate and Medical Degrees from Wake Forest University, where he then was accepted into the MedStar Georgetown/Washington Hospital Center Emergency Medicine Residency Program. After graduating residency in 2015, he served in the United States Air Force as a Critical Care Air Transport Physician serving overseas twice in his four years of active duty.

    Dr. Kheradi was EXTREMELY patient, concerned, willing to explain and could not have been a better listener. I feel so much more confident about my treatment after my time with him. He is truly impressive and I look forward to being under his care
