A Message from Dr. Ononaku

My goal is to walk alongside you, protect your privacy, earn your trust, and help you achieve the best possible health outcomes. I believe 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.”
