Board-Certified Neurologist & Psychiatrist
Specialist in Pain, Spine, and Neurobehavioral Medicine
Dr. David Okonkwo is a distinguished neurologist and psychiatrist with over 15 years of clinical experience and board certification by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. He is nationally recognized for his expertise in the integrated management of neurological and psychiatric disorders, particularly within the domains of pain and spinal care.
Dr. Okonkwo completed his adult neurology residency and pediatric neurology fellowship at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, where he also held faculty affiliations with the University at Buffalo and the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. His extensive training has laid a strong foundation for his lifelong commitment to clinical excellence, medical education, and patient advocacy.
Antipas Marati, DO earned an undergraduate degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, and went on to receive his medical degree from Liberty University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Lynchburg, VA.
Inspired by his mother’s impact as a physician in India, he pursued a career in medicine with a deep desire to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
Drawn to neurology for its intellectual challenge and the enduring art of clinical medicine, Dr. Marati finds the field both fascinating and rewarding. He enjoys treating the full spectrum of neurological conditions and is passionate about education, valuing the opportunity to teach and mentor future physicians.
Dr. Marati chose to join DCND because of its strong culture of collaboration and the privilege of working alongside residents and dedicated attendings. Outside of medicine, he enjoys reading high fantasy and sci-fi novels, playing board and video games, exploring new restaurants, and watching movies or binge-worthy shows.
"Neurology is just...simply...cool! There are so many interesting things in neurology and it is the combination of what I find intellectually stimulating paired with a field where the "art" of medicine is still very much alive that appeals to me. That being said, I like treating all neurology," he said.
