More about Dr. Deborah Okonofua, DNP, CRNP, NP, FNP
As a professional nurse leader, one of my objectives is to provide and implement effective evidence-based nursing and advance clinical judgment to assess, design, deliver, and evaluate evidence-based care of individuals with complex health and illnesses. Having attained a doctorate degree combined with my passion for teaching, I have decided to utilize my clinical skill to accentuate the concept of prevention and health promotion activities that will improve the health of the populations and positively impact patients’ outcomes. It is my desire to establish various family practice centers to improve healthcare access. It is also my goal to help students who are aspiring to be professional nurses acquire clinical sites for hands on education and realistic experience through direct patient care. Such students will be able to use acquired knowledge and skills to analyze intricate clinical and organizational issues that will facilitate collaborative interdisciplinary team functioning in clinical or educational environments.

Amazing service
March 9, 2020Alex P.Verified patient
The staff were very friendly. However, Dr. Deborah decided to take a walk in right before my scheduled appointment so that means I waited nearly an hour before I was seen by Dr. Deborah. I believe I would've waited longer if I didn't follow up with staff about my wait time.
Once I met with Dr. Deborah, she has a friendly kind demeanor but came across as condescending when I shared my health history. I'm an adult woman in my 30's and her responses were to question me if I knew what my diagnosis was... (I've been living with it for years, so yes). Additionally, she made false statements about another condition I live with. Thankfully, I knew better due to my previous physicians and independent research. However, I'm concerned how her statements could negatively affect someone who is less informed.
I think she's a friendly person but I need a well informed, friendly, and collaborative physician who truly takes the time to know the patient and have adequate knowledge and awareness before making sweeping statements that could be harmful to the care provided... especially since she seems to push medication even though there's no medical need.

October 16, 2019Olson P.Verified patient
I really love the idea of this place, lots of nurses going through their studies, but it all just seemed a bit unorganized. I went there worried that I had strep, they took a test, the result came back saying that the test was incorrectly done and so inconclusive. They said they were going to send medication to my local CVS, they never did. All in all, very friendly and wonderful people, but too organized for me to want to return.
August 30, 2019Jonathan B.Verified patient
It’s always a pleasure to visit the office. The staff is very professional and attentive to your needs. In addition, there is a short wait. Which allows me to complete my day task. Thank you

June 28, 2019Lakina E.Verified patient
Although Deborah was very attentive and knowledgeable, she was more than an hour late for my appointment. My appointment was scheduled for 8:30 am but because her and her entire staff were stuck in traffic, I had to wait in the hall for over an hour.

She’s not a reliable physicians assistant, never called to schedule a follow up appointments for test results. Did not show up when I finally called to schedule an appointment for results, I arrived for the appointment and they said she was not there for the day. No one called me to notify me of this. Very unprofessional!
