“I believe the best way to deliver care is to connect with patients and know their stories. I always give my patients my time and undivided attention to learn their story. Who are they, aside from their illness or disease?” he said.
“We need to see the person as a whole. It’s important to empathize with patients and put yourself in their shoes. We are here to serve them and give them quality, compassionate care.”
IN HIS OWN WORDS
What was your first job? I worked as a dye chemist and as a quantity surveyor assistant in Nigeria.
How many languages do you speak? My native language is Yoruba, and I can speak a little bit of French and Spanish.
What is something that would surprise people about you? I like to sing and dance, play table tennis and I’m a very good juggler.
Your daughter scored a perfect score on her SAT and ACT. What is your parenting secret? To lead by example. When my wife and I tell our kids to work hard, they need to see us working hard.
What would you be if you weren’t a doctor? I’d love to be an astrophysicist or astronaut. I’d go up into space, look down at the earth and marvel.
