Dr Gabriel Ogbonnaya

Even on his death bed, Gabriel Ogbonnaya's father could not get one thought out of his head: "My son is going to be a doctor." These were among the last words Ogbonnaya's father told his then-12-year-old son before he died, leaving his wife alone to raise six children. Driven by his father's words and disgust over the terrible healthcare conditions he saw in Nigeria,  Dr Ogbonnaya has fulfilled his father's prophecy and his own dream of opening a practice in the United States.

Ogbonnaya, MD, MHA, FACP is Board Certified in Internal medicine.  He received his medical training from the University of Nigeria.  He graduated as the Best Student of the Faculty of Medical Sciences and Dentistry and as the Best Student of the Department of Internal Medicine.  He had his postgraduate Internal Medicine residency training at Interfaith Medical Center, Brooklyn, New York.  During residency, Dr. Ogbonnaya maintained the best record in the ACP-ASIM National Internal Medicine In-Training Examinations, ranking consistently in the top 3% nationally.  He passed the American Board of Internal Medicine certification examination at the top 10% and in 2006 he graduated from the University of Phoenix with a Masters in Health Administration.  He has been elected to Fellowship in the American College of Physicians, FACP.
