Upon coming to the United States, she decided to pursue a family medicine residency as it was the broadest area of study possible, covering all ages.
Dr Zadshir is passionate about education and community services. She believes "Doctors are mental and physical healers and for that reason we need to have passion, courage and dedication to help those in need."
