A husband, a father of two, and a native of DC, Dr. Ali Mohamadi brings a parent's perspective and a Washingtonian’s mentality to his pediatric endocrine practice located in the heart of Chevy Chase. Dr. Mohamadi treats children under the age of 18 with the entire spectrum of endocrine conditions. His areas of expertise and interests include disorders of growth, development, and puberty; Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes; weight management; and abnormalities of bone, thyroid, adrenal glands, and hormones in children.
Dr. Mohamadi grew up in the Forest Hills area of Washington and attended the Sidwell Friends School before completing his undergraduate studies at Yale University in 1998. He returned to DC and attended the George Washington University School of Medicine, where he graduated in 2002. Following medical school, Dr. Mohamadi received his training in Pediatrics at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, where he was selected as chief resident for his final year. He then completed his subspecialty fellowship in Pediatric Endocrinology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD before returning the to the DC area to practice.
Dr. Mohamadi has received numerous honors and awards during his career, most recently selected one of Washingtonian Magazine's "Top Doctors" in 2014. A die-hard fan of all Washington sports teams (as trying as that is at times), Dr. Mohamadi lives in Chevy Chase with his wife and two daughters.
