About me
Hello, and thank you for visiting my Web page. I’m pleased to tell you more about my practice and myself.
Biography
I am originally from Southeastern Nigeria, and I attended medical school at the University of Nigeria. I then came to the United States where I completed my internship and residency in family medicine at UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica. Before joining Kaiser Permanente in 2006, I worked as a general practice physician in Nigeria for eight years.
About my practice
I am Dr. Joseph Anekwe, and I am a family medicine physician, which means I care for members of all ages.
How I thrive
I firmly believe in Kaiser Permanente’s philosophy of health in body, mind, and spirit, and try to live it every day. To thrive, I devote time to my family, exercise regularly, and travel when I can.
