It was mentioned in a recent press release that aside from Oduche’s clinical expertise, he is also recognized for his collaborative and dedicated approach to advancing mental health care. As an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association, Oduche believes that building strong relationships with patients, and working closely with multi-disciplinary teams, ensures a fully holistic and individualized treatment.

The hospital says it truly makes a patient feel like they are receiving personal, and intimate care that is exclusive to them.
