​Dr. Nima Shemirani grew up in a family of artists and found himself drawn towards the field of medicine in college when he recognized that biology is an equalizer. “Underneath the microscope, we are all the same: we are merely human without color, race or religion.” This personal revelation spurred a deep passion, and Dr. Nima applied to and excelled at the prestigious Medical School of Wisconsin where he also completed his Otolaryngology (ENT) residency. Dr. Nima then secured a greatly-coveted fellowship with the globally-respected Glasgold Group in New Jersey, where he trained under some of the best plastic surgeons in the world.


Beyond his impressive credentials, Dr. Nima has developed a compassionate sensitivity to his patients’ needs and fears. He takes the time to really listen to them and collaborates with each one to develop a highly personalized approach that directly addresses not just that patient’s particular issue but also takes into account the individual’s personality, sensitivities and concerns. He creates a warm atmosphere where his patients feel safe, secure and nurtured.


The mission of Face Forward is very near to his heart.  Dr. Nima has experience in treating patients who are less fortunate and cannot access the medical care they require for their specific issues.  He is looking forward to helping these patients live as normal of a life as possible in order to go on and help others in need, too.
