After earning his medical degree at the College of Medicine of the University of Lagos in Nigeria, Dr. Obioha completed a rotating internship at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, also in Nigeria.

Dr. Obioha is passionate about providing preventive medicine, including colon cancer screenings, to his community and encourages everyone over age 45 to schedule screenings as colon cancer doesn’t usually cause noticeable symptoms until it’s reached advanced stages.  
He believes all patients should have access to basic medical care and preventive screenings, including everything from colon screenings and prostate exams to mammography or cervical cancer screenings and Pap tests.
