Working at a clinic where an emphasis on listening is common practice among physicians, Dr. Linda Okereke takes it a step further. She encourages her patients to listen as well. “Injury prevention is probably more important than anything so just advising people on how to listen to their bodies and to do what is right to prevent future injury is best,” she says.Practicing physical medicine and rehabilitation puts Dr. Okereke in contact with a wide range of patients and conditions. She strives to determine each patient’s goal and creates a plan to achieve it. “My goal is to work with patients to help them live as full a life as possible,” she says.
