As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I am deeply committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care. My approach to medicine is centered on clear communication and trust-building, which I believe are vital for successful outcomes. I thrive on the dynamic and impactful nature of emergency medicine, where I can make swift, critical decisions and provide care during a patient’s most vulnerable times. Being part of the leadership team at NYU Langone allows me to contribute to an environment where patients feel valued, respected, and supported throughout their experience in the emergency department.

I specialize in managing a wide range of conditions, including acute medical crises, trauma situations, and other urgent health issues. With extensive training and years of experience, I am adept at navigating the challenges of emergency care. My background includes a residency in emergency medicine, followed by a master’s degree in public administration, which has expanded my knowledge of public policy, advocacy, and healthcare leadership. This combination of clinical expertise and administrative insight enables me to advocate effectively for compassionate care.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in various operational projects and quality improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency department care. My team and I are dedicated to proactive healthcare engagement, ensuring that our patients receive the best possible care.

I was inspired to pursue medicine in Nigeria by my father, who was a dedicated physician. His unwavering commitment to medicine ignited my desire to assist others. This early exposure to the field, combined with my passion for emergency medicine, has shaped my career.
