Get to know Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Shervin Oskouei, who serves patients in Atlanta, Georgia.

Dr. Oskouei stands as a distinguished figure in the field of orthopedic surgery, bringing expertise, innovation, and compassion to his practice at Emory Healthcare since 2004.

As one of only four fellowship-trained orthopedic oncologists in Georgia, he leads the charge in addressing musculoskeletal tumors with precision and expertise. Collaborating with the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, his team is at the forefront of establishing a comprehensive database of sarcomas and exploring novel therapeutic approaches to combat these challenging conditions. 

Beyond his work in orthopedic oncology, Dr. Oskouei is renowned regionally and nationally as an expert in primary and revision total knee and total hip replacement surgery. Utilizing the most advanced, patient-centered treatment modalities available, he ensures that each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs.

Back in the early days of his academic career, his medical journey began at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta, where he obtained his medical degree before completing his internship and residency at Emory University School of Medicine.
