More about Dr. Ogechi Ikediobi, MD

As a board-certified Dermatologist, Dr Ogechi (aka Dr Chi) views skin diseases as a mirror to the state of one’s internal health. Given her deep knowledge of medicine, pharmacology, genetics, yoga/ayurveda, she is uniquely positioned to address skin diseases in a holistic manner. Therefore, she feels privileged to help her patients of all ages achieve optimal health through education, design and implementation of holistic and personalized treatment plans. In so doing, she is able to guide each patient on a journey to healing that feels redemptive. Areas of particular interest for Dr. Chi include comprehensive pediatric/adolescent, adult, and geriatric dermatologic care. Specifically: Skin cancer (melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma) prevention and treatment Surgical dermatology (cysts, lipomas, skin cancer) General dermatology (acne, rosacea, alopecia, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, hyperhidrosis) Complex medical dermatology (autoimmune blistering disease, connective tissue disease, hidradenitis suppurativa) Scar revision (acne scars, keloids) Cosmetic dermatology (Laser therapy) Ayurvedic consultations Ayurvedic body work FULL STORY Dr. Chi's early interest in the mystery and beauty of plants and how the scientific method can allow for a deeper understanding of the natural world led her to pursue training in the field of Pharmacy, earning her undergraduate degree in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (Pharm.D.) from Florida A&M University (1998-2003). However, during her clinical years, it became clear to her that the actual use of chemically synthesized medications could cause unintended consequences, some of which are due to inherent individual genetic differences in ability to metabolize medications. That sent her on a quest to acquire a deeper understanding of the genetic basis of adverse drug reactions.
