DR. IJEOMA OKEIGWE
Dr. Okeigwe is a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and obstetrician gynecologist with a deep commitment to achieving exceptional patient outcomes.
She is a Bay Area native and completed her undergraduate degree and Masters in Public Health at UC Berkeley. She attended medical school at UCSF before advancing to her residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Boston University Medical Center. Dr. Okeigwe then completed her fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Northwestern University. Dr. Okeigwe joins Spring from the Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group and is looking forward to continuing to provide exceptional, patient-centered fertility care in the East Bay.
When asked about her care philosophy, Dr. Okeigwe says: “My goal is to always provide compassionate, collaborative, evidence-based care. It is important to me to understand what my patients are feeling and thinking and work with them to form a treatment plan that not only optimizes their success but also makes them feel comfortable and safe throughout the journey. I want my patients to know that when they entrust their care into my hands, I’m doing everything I can to see to it that their dreams of becoming a parent, whether that’s now or later, come true.”
