Personal Information

Growing up, my family exposed me to a very diverse culture. I was raised in London and Los Angeles but had travels and short stays all over Europe, Africa, South America and the United States. Traveling is still a great passion of mine.
I thoroughly enjoy city life like museums, restaurants, taking long walks sight-seeing.You might see me at a group exercise class lifting weights, stepping or even the occasional Zumba class.

I am so happy that we see Dr Opitoke! His passion for his geriatric patients is such a blessing! He definitely doesn't treat his patients like they're all coming out of the same cookie cutter! He's taken my husband off of over 1/2 of unnecessary medications that were causing more problems than good.
