Dr. Everett's childhood interest in skating helped to save his life. At 13, following a severe asthma exacerbation, he went into a full arrest. Doctors credit his full recovery to his healthy heart and lungs as a result of his competitive skating. Continuing his training, Dr. Everett went on to win several US National Championships. This experience made him aware of what kids go through when they’re ill and how perseverance can overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.

Dr. Everett graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Southern California with a B.S. in Psychobiology and Minor in Bioethics, going on to earn his M.D. at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Everett then came to Chicago to complete his pediatric residency at the University of Chicago. He is board certified in pediatrics and licensed in Illinois.  He holds a State of Illinois Medical Licensure.

A star performer in the laboratory and lecture hall as well as the skating rink, Dr. Everett has participated in various research projects and made several important presentations on children’s health issues. And for seven years was also a spokesperson for the National Jewish Center for Immunology & Respiratory Diseases.  Dr. Everett practices in the Crystal Lake office.
