Athanasios Soskos, MD

A specialist in internal medicine caring for hospitalized patients

Dr. Athanasios Soskos grew up in Baghdad, Iraq, the son of Greek parents who operated a business in the war-torn city. He lived in different countries and was happy to settle in Marshfield, a quiet and peaceful place to raise his family.

As a hospitalist, he strives to take care of all issues facing a hospitalized patient.

"I try to spend as much time as I can getting to know the patient and his or her background, and making sure they understand the treatment plan," he said. "I also like to joke with my patients to help relieve the stress of being in the hospital."

He and his wife, Jian Khamo-Soskos, M.D., both earned their medical degrees in Baghdad. They completed residencies at Marshfield Clinic/Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital, in the Med-Peds residency combining internal medicine and pediatrics. She is practicing in the Clinic’s Med-Peds Department.

He enjoys playing basketball and doing outdoor activities with his wife and their three young daughters.
