I was born in NYC and lived in Lagos Nigeria until the age of almost 5yrs. My parents moved to Atlanta just before my 5th birthday. My Mother previously worked as an RN for over 40 years. Her Mother was an LPN. My daughter is currently a pre-med major in College. The health and well-being of every patient is important to us. My son whom is a senior in high school plans to become either a Dentist or Doctor.
