- Dr. Okolo is a Doctor of Internal Medicine or an Internist. She is different from other types of doctors because she specializes in adult health care. She is not a “Family Physician” or a “GP”, so she does not treat children or deliver babies. Neither is she an “Intern”, which refers to a doctor who is a trainee just out of medical school.
