About

Dr. Eziamaka Obunadike, MD. Is an assistant professor in the departments of Orthopedics and Rehab medicine at Emory University. Dr. Obunadike started off her training at Stanford University where she played Division 1 college basketball on a full scholarship for 5 years and majored in Human Biology and Anthropological Science. She then attended medical school in Durham, NC at Duke University School of Medicine. Following medical school, she completed both her internship and residency training at Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts. After residency, she completed her sports medicine fellowship here at Emory University.

Dr. Obunadike serves as the head team physician for Georgia Tech Women’s Basketball. She also serves as an associate team physician for the WNBA Atlanta Dream and for our new professional volleyball team, the Atlanta Vibe.

Dr. Obunadike’s specific clinical interests include musculoskeletal injuries and sports-related injuries, chronic joint pain/osteoarthritis, exercise as medicine, women’s musculoskeletal health, musculoskeletal ultrasound, and orthobiologics-- treatments that involve using a patient’s own cells and growth factors to stimulate natural healing of an  injury, one example being platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections. She treats patient’s of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of competition.

When not working, Dr. Obunadike enjoys spending quality time with her husband and their four children, sewing, and traveling. She also enjoys working out and is looking forward to start training and competing in triathlons.

I am a fan of Dr. Obunadike. I am relatively new to the area and was previously a patient at N.Y. Hospital for Special Surgery. The care that I receive at Emory is as good or better than I received up north. Dr. Obunadike is skillful, compassionate, and "soft".

I am not satisfied. The doctor came in already convinced she knew what my problem was. It may be, but I doubt it. I was never given the opportunity to show her where and what is was doing. I'm sure I have arthritis as she said. I already knew that. The problem changed after an injury. Now I feel like I need to go somewhere else but I paid her my money.

I wouldn't recommend because of the time it took to be seen. The only way I got her in there was I walked out and found someone and let them know we were about to have to leave before we were even seen.

I spent less than 10 mins with Dr O. This was by far the worst doctors visits I have had at Emory. I'm sure she was behind in appointment times and needed to get to the next patient. I refused the injections that were offered and wanted to try exercising at home because I felt the appointment was being rushed. I wouldn't recommend this doctor to any of my family and friends.

I really like Dr. O. She is thorough, takes time to explain everything which in my case took awhile with 2 MRIs showing 6 tears between a should and hip. And she put in orders immediately especially so that I could get a shot in my hip / labrum so I could enjoy a vacation that had been scheduled for many months the following week. She is a rockstar, as is Dr. Whitley.

If you look up incompetent in the dictionary, you'll find Dr. O. The athletic trainer at our school is more qualified and more able to assess injuries than her. My left knee has been hurting for 2 months since I twisted it and felt it pop. Dr. O came in, looked at the x-rays, told me I had good spacing and that nothing was broken, but she did not know what was wrong with me knee. Her proposed treatment was to take Aleve and hoped it felt better in 2 months. She did not even touch my leg. She started to leave, and I asked if she wanted to do an MRI to see if there were any torn ligaments or to determine what the problem actually was (as my PCP recommended and what I made the appointment for). Dr. O was annoyed, came back, pushed on the back of my knee (which caused enough pain for me to pull my leg away), and said she would see if insurance would pay for an MRI. I asked her what was wrong with my knee, and she responded that she did not know and left. I've never seen a worse doctor in my life.
