Meet Neda Svrakic, MD, Preventive Care, Women’s Health, Weight Management & Primary Care Specialist in Chicago

Q: What inspired you to pursue a career in medicine?

I was drawn to medicine because it combines science, problem-solving, and the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with people. I love helping patients better understand their health, navigate complex medical decisions, and make lasting changes that improve their quality of life.

Q: What is your approach to patient care?

It’s important to me that patients know they have someone in their corner. I work alongside my patients to help them achieve both their immediate and long-term health goals. Building trust and lasting relationships is one of the most rewarding parts of practicing medicine.

Q: What areas of health do you specialize in?

I’m passionate about helping patients feel their best—not just treating illness when it happens. My clinical interests include weight management, sleep optimization, cardiovascular health, mood and mental well-being, and preventive medicine.

Q: How do you want patients to feel after they see you?

I want every patient to leave feeling heard, informed, empowered, and confident in the plan we’ve created together.

Q: How do you stay current and continue learning?

I stay up to date by listening to medical podcasts, reading journal articles, and discussing the latest guidelines and advancements with my colleagues.

Q: What is one fact people would be surprised to learn about you?

If there’s a live concert happening in Chicago (and let’s be honest, there usually is), you’ll probably find me there.

Q: If you weren’t in medicine, what would you be doing?

I’d either be composing music scores for movies or working in interior design. (I’m firmly on team “no big lights” at home!)
