Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician | Over 13 Years of Inpatient and Outpatient Experience

Dr. Sandra Okonkwo is a compassionate, board-certified Internal Medicine physician dedicated to personalized, evidence-based care. She is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), and her care is built on one belief: every patient deserves to be heard, respected, and supported.

With more than 13 years of experience across both hospital and outpatient settings, Dr. Okonkwo has cared for patients at every stage of illness and recovery, from acute hospital admissions to long-term primary care. This breadth helps her see the full picture of a patient’s health. She treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis, and stays with her patients as they move from the hospital back to home.

She completed her residency training at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, New York, one of the busiest and most diverse clinical training environments in the country. There she was honored with the Outstanding Medical Knowledge Award, recognizing her exceptional clinical knowledge and commitment to excellence in patient care.

Beyond the exam room, Dr. Okonkwo is passionate about community health and preventive care. She believes good healthcare goes beyond treating illness: it means building trust, educating patients and families, and helping people take a proactive role in their well-being.

As a mother of four, she understands the importance of family, balance, and a strong support system. Outside of medicine, she enjoys working out, spending time with her family, and listening to Afrobeats.
