Meet Dr. Okoh
Ngozi Okoh, DMD
School brought me to Philadelphia in 2008, and I’ve been here ever since. I’m the oldest of four girls and am privileged to have attended three Ivy League universities.
My best friend’s mother inspired me to get into dentistry. After my first year of college, she invited me to visit her mother’s practice. I had no idea what kind of practice she meant. But I went and was blown away at what a Nigerian-American woman was able to accomplish. She had a beautiful office, supportive staff, and patients who loved her. I knew in that moment dentistry was my calling.
As a Montgomery County dentist, I treasure all the relationships I build with the families I see time and time again. Both the patient and parents make me smile when another six months rolls around, and I get to hear all their family updates.
I genuinely love what I do and enjoy becoming an extension of my patients’ families.
What do you do outside of the office?
Who is your hero and why?
What was the best day of your life? Why?
What is an interesting fact about yourself?
