About Dr. Shailesh Zaveri


Shailesh Zaveri was born in, India. As the oldest son of seven children, Shailesh had a modest upbringing . As his potential became clear, his grandmother and uncles took him in and helped with his education while his grandmother raised him. From this point forward his grandmother served as a role model. Her kindness and compassion are the very same that Shailesh practices everyday in his personal and professional life. After many years, his grandmother passed away of a heart attack. Wondering if the availability of medical intervention could have made a difference, Shailesh decided to pursue cardiology from this moment onward. After completing his medical education at Surat Government Medical College, he completed and internship and cardiology fellowship at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn during which he was lovely nicknamed "the professor" by his own professors for his broad knowledge base and potential in his field. After his fellowship, he pursued an opportunity as a solo practitioner in Coles County, Illinois where he touched many lives and helped many people. In 1983, he helped to establish the ME Ts cardiac rehab program in Sarah Bush Lincoln Health Center to improve outcomes for heart attack victims in central Illinois. Later, he was presented the-Vocational Service Award by the Rotary Foundation in 1999 as well as the Jefferson Award for outstanding Public Service in 2004 for his volunteer work involving screening student athletes for cardiovascular conditions by interpreting echocardiogram for high school athletes for more than 10 years. After 27 years of service in Coles County and surrounding communities, Shailesh and his wife moved back to Chicagoland to be closer to family, friends and temples, while practicing the career he loves. His passion continues by helping people at Hindu and Jain temples with his expertise in cardiology. He has three beautiful children -Jill, Rishi and Phil.
