Meet Dr. O
Board Certified Pediatrician
& Mother of 2
Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer Okpukpara—also known as Dr. Onyirimba. I’m a board-certified pediatrician, wife, mom of two, and the founder of Dr. O on Demand.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for thousands of families—answering late-night questions, easing new parent worries, and cheering on every big and small milestone. I understand just how overwhelming parenting can feel, especially in a world full of mixed advice and constant Googling.
This is my motivation to create this platform, to provide simple, trustworthy, evidence-based guidance—without the guilt, confusion, or judgment.
Becoming a mom made me a better pediatrician and taught me even more than any textbook could. Sometimes as parents we just get it!
Whether you’re up at 2 AM with a newborn, managing toddler meltdowns, or navigating school-age challenges—I’m here with practical tips, honest encouragement, and real support every step of the way.
Let’s help you feel confident caring for your child—from birth to adolescence.
Welcome to your new village.
I’m so glad you’re here.
— Dr. O
The Dr. O on Demand Philosophy:
At Dr. O on Demand, I believe that:
-
Parenting doesn’t have to be perfect — just present.
-
Science should be accessible, not intimidating.
-
There’s no “one right way” to raise a child — just the way that works best for your family.
-
Support should be judgment-free, culturally sensitive, and rooted in real care.
You deserve answers that make sense, support that feels human, and a community that truly gets it.
