Driven by a passion for contribution to children, Omaha natives–and high-school sweethearts, Shikhar and Kristin, developed the Saxena Family Foundation. Shikhar, is a cardiologist, and the owner/Co-CEO of Milan Laser, a national laser hair removal company. Kristin, practiced as a pediatrician with Boys Town Pediatrics before becoming Chief Medical Officer for Milan Laser.  She stepped down from her position at Milan in 2020 to dedicate her time growing the Saxena Family Foundation and other philanthropic endeavors.

A new healthcare center under construction at the southeast corner of 42nd and Farnam streets in midtown Omaha has officially been named the Shikhar & Kristin Saxena Health Center, following a significant leadership gift from local physicians Drs. Shikhar and Kristin Saxena. The building’s naming recognizes the contribution made by the couple through their charitable organization, the Saxena Family Foundation, alongside additional support from the local donor community.

Shikhar seeks projects and partnerships that allow him to accomplish big projects and see how many lives are impacted. He enjoys working with local leaders who have made something successful by working hard and striving toward a mission. He remains focused on being a good human being while believing in living life to the fullest and creating the life you want. Shikhar is dedicated to the education and overall wellbeing of children.Kristin’s vision is to grow the Saxena Family Foundation to support causes that improve children’s lives in our community. She would like to see the foundation grow in size and scope to take on larger and more impactful projects. Her ultimate goal is for the foundation to be a force of good in Omaha.
