After relocating to the U.S., Dr. Obah completed his Internal Medicine residency at Mount Sinai School of Medicine (NGH Program) in New York. During this time, he served as a three-time representative for the Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR), showcasing his leadership and advocacy for fellow clinicians.

Witnessing the stigma faced by patients with chronic pain, Dr. Obah pursued a fellowship in Anesthesia and Interventional Pain Management at the University of Utah, where he was honored with the Best Patient Satisfaction Award—an accolade he also earned at Mount Sinai. He was later recognized as a Pfizer Scholar in Pain Management, becoming the first recipient of the award at the University of Utah.

Dr. Obah’s academic work includes multiple peer-reviewed publications, and he served as an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at the University of Utah before entering private practice. His philosophy of care embraces a multidisciplinary, personalized approach, empowering patients to take control of their health and well-being.

Guided by values of compassion, integrity, and excellence, Dr. Obah is deeply committed to helping patients heal—not just physically, but emotionally. He takes pride in going the extra mile to deliver care that helps individuals live fully and free from pain.
