“The office was very clean and staff was very friendly and so is Dr. Chris I felt welcomed as this was my first visit and he listened to my concerns about my health and I didn't feel rushed through at all at my appointment. I will follow his advice and I already have an appointment to return I would highly recommend having him a doctor as he is my doctor now. ”

About Dr. Chikwendu Nwosu
Born in Nigeria, Dr. Nwosu obtained his medical degree-Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery-from the University of Nigeria Faculty of Medicine, Nsukka, in 1994. He then practiced pediatrics in Gambia until he moved to London, England, in 1998, where he met and married his wife and partner in practice, Oyoyo Onuoha, MD. Instead of going on a honeymoon, the pair traveled to Shepparton, Australia, on a working holiday, where they practiced as emergency room physicians for a year.
In 2003, they moved to New York City, where Dr. Nwosu completed his residency in internal medicine at Interfaith Medical Center in Brooklyn. Following his residency, Dr. Nwosu worked in several hospitals and clinics, including St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau, Missouri; Banner Thunderbird Medical Center in Glendale, Arizona; and Mountain Vista Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona. He is board certified in internal medicine.
As philanthropists, Drs. Nwosu and Onuoha established and continue to fund a primary school-Stripes International Academy-in his hometown village of Ihite-Ude Ofeme, Abia State, Nigeria, as a way of giving back. With his younger brother, Ugo Nwosu, he also established a transport company to help alleviate the suffering of rural villagers during their commute into Umuahia City. Dr. Nwosu is also involved in his local churches both in the U.S. and in Nigeria. He and Dr. Onuoha have five wonderful children.
A compassionate and highly skilled doctor, Dr. Nwosu brings a wealth of experience acquired from working in different countries to Stripes Primary Care, which he co-founded with his wife in 2011. Our East Mesa and Apache Junction locations see patients 16 and older, while our Urgent Care in Gold Canyon sees patients of all ages.
