Dr. Wahid Kassar, M.D. is an expert endocrinologist. As a graduate of the Damascus University School of Medicine, he brings over 25 years of experience with him to NorthShore. His long career started with the simple wish to help people.
Kassar most enjoys building relationships with his patients and finds it is almost as critical to his job as the medical expertise he offers. To help patients feel comfortable following his guidance, he prioritizes creating a judgment free environment. Learning about his patients is one of his favorite parts of the day.
Outside of his work at NorthShore, Dr. Kassar has served as an advisor to Central DuPage Hospital’s Diabetes and Weight Loss Program, served as the President of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologist’s Illinois Chapter, and has earned numerous awards and Five Star ratings for his patient interactions.
Dr. Kassar rotates throughout our Portage, Hammond, and Lake Station locations once a month respectively.
