A More Integrative, Root-Cause Approach to Internal Medicine

He previously worked at Bon Secours Health System and Men’s Wellness Centers, where he focused on hormone replacement therapy for men.

“I came to WellcomeMD to practice the kind of medicine that allows me to provide holistic care with the patient’s best needs in mind,” Dr. Obeng shares. “I am given ample time to assess and treat my patients and come up with a care plan that is individualized and optimal for each patient.”
Dr. Obeng is professionally affiliated with the American College of Physicians and the American Osteopathic Association. He has participated in several medical presentations and received multiple awards, including the American Osteopathic Foundation Welch Scholar Award.
He provides a full spectrum of health care services for adults, with an emphasis on a lifestyle-first approach to disease management.
Dr. Obeng’s Approach to Care
Dr. Obeng’s approach to medicine is one of physician-patient collaboration. He believes the doctor knows medicine, but the patient knows their body. His philosophy is one where the physician acts as a guide to help patients achieve their optimal wellness goals, while the patient remains in the driver’s seat when it comes to executing them. With his training in lifestyle medicine, Dr. Obeng brings a different approach to chronic disease management, with an emphasis on comprehensive lifestyle change and medications when clinically appropriate.
“My philosophy is that the patient comes first,” he says. “I will do everything in my power to provide optimal care that not only treats disease but also extends good health in my patients.”
