Meet Dr. Okoh
Ngozi Okoh, DMD
I’m a New York City transplant, originally from Brooklyn, NY, and have proudly lived in four out of the five boroughs of NYC. My husband and I met while I was in my senior year of dental school in Philadelphia. We have a one-year-old son together.
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?
YouTube! I love being on camera and sharing my passions with others. I’ve been blogging and vlogging since 2009 about fashion, beauty, and hair care. I also enjoy group fitness classes, organizing my planner (#plannergirl), and spending time with my son and husband.
Who is your hero and why?
Oprah Winfrey. In everything she does, Oprah has earned a reputation for championing causes that reflect her beliefs. These beliefs show how each of us should take personal responsibility for our lives and help to improve the world. Like her, I want to be able to use my voice to empower those far or near. My ambition is to become a philanthropist on a global level.
What was the best day of your life? Why?
September 1, 2018 – the birth of my first child. After experiencing childbirth, womanhood and motherhood now have a newfound meaning to me. Being a new mother has been such a blessing, and I’m so privileged to watch my little boy explore, learn, and develop new skills daily.
What is an interesting fact about yourself?
I have a YouTube channel and am a “planner girl.” I have an extensive selection of planner stickers and washi tape.
