Dr. Sussan Ononaku DNP, CRNP, FNP, PMHNP
Board-Certified Family & Psychiatric Nurse PractitionerWith over 33 years of experience in healthcare, I offer an integrative, whole-person approach to care—blending family medicine and psychiatric mental health to support the mind, body, and spirit.
As a dual board-certified nurse practitioner, I deliver compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I take the time to understand each patient’s story, values, and cultural identity because I believe healthcare should be deeply personal, respectful, and empowering.
A Message from Dr. Ononaku
“As a nurse practitioner, I am more than a provider—I’m an advocate, counselor, teacher, and partner in your care. My goal is to walk alongside you, protect your privacy, earn your trust, and help you achieve the best possible health outcomes. Healthcare should be compassionate, comprehensive, and culturally sensitive. I’m honored to care for you and your family with the same dedication I give to my own.”
