About Dr. Olubukola OkoroNew office safety precautionsMessage from the office of Dr. Olubukola Okoro"Our biggest concern is patient safety. In order to keep our patients safe, virtual visits are encouraged for anything the physician doesn't need to physically exam you in depth for. Otherwise, if you're coming into the office, we ask you to text the office when you're in the parking lot with your name, date of birth, and vehicle information. We will send someone out to screen you before bringing you into the office. Thank you for your understanding and support!"show moreDr. Olubukola Okoro fondly referred to by friends and family as “Bukky” developed an early interest in medicine at a young age after yearning to follow in her father’s footsteps to help people.
