BALDWIN, WI – Western Wisconsin Health (WWH) is excited to welcome Dr. Egboh, a dedicated and compassionate pediatric provider, to our team. Specializing in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, Dr. Egboh brings a wealth of expertise and a deep commitment to caring for children of all backgrounds and abilities.
Dr. Egboh’s journey in medicine began in Benin City, Nigeria, where she earned her medical degree from the University of Benin, school of medicine. She went on to complete a residency in General Pediatrics, followed by a specialized fellowship in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics. In addition to her extensive training, Dr. Egboh holds certifications as a Diplomate in Obesity Medicine and a Diplomate in Lifestyle Medicine, enabling her to provide comprehensive, holistic care for children.
Raised by physician parents, Dr. Egboh was immersed in the medical world from an early age. Although initially drawn to obstetrics, she soon realized her true calling was working with children. Her passion for pediatrics was fueled by her deep love for babies and children, as well as her unwavering dedication to their well-being.
Prior to relocating to the United States, Dr. Egboh practiced as a general practitioner in Nigeria. During her pediatric residency, she discovered her passion for Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics—a field that aligns perfectly with her belief that every child has unique strengths and abilities. She is especially committed to supporting children with special needs, ensuring they receive the individualized, compassionate care they deserve.
“One piece of advice that has always inspired me came from my fellowship director, who encouraged me to ‘give families grace’ and to meet them where they are,” says Dr. Egboh. “This philosophy reminds me to approach every family with empathy and understanding.”
Dr. Egboh is particularly excited about the opportunity to make an impact beyond the clinic. “I’m eager to better understand the community’s needs and collaborate with families, schools, and local organizations to help support families in making informed, healthy decisions for their children,” she shares.
Outside of her professional life, Dr. Egboh enjoys spending quality time with family and friends. She has a 14-year-old daughter who she describes as the light of her life. “She’s my opposite in many ways—she’s very sporty and athletic, while I’m more laid-back. She constantly inspires me to stay active and embrace new challenges,” Dr. Egboh says. She also loves to travel and explore new destinations and cultures. When not traveling, she finds joy in attending Broadway shows, indulging in the magic of live theater.
Western Wisconsin Health is thrilled to be able to offer this level of pediatric care in our rural community. “We are incredibly excited to welcome Dr. Egboh to our team,” says Ellen Thompson, Chief Operating Officer of Western Wisconsin Health. “Her expertise in Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics will be an invaluable resource for families in our community, ensuring that children receive the highest quality of care close to home.”
Dr. Egboh is now accepting new pediatric patients at Western Wisconsin Health. To schedule an appointment, please call 715-684-1111. Please join us in welcoming Dr. Egboh to Western Wisconsin Health.
