Diana Otuwa MD is a family medicine doctor who wanted to be a doctor since she was young. Her role model is her father, who is also a doctor. She became interested in science and volunteering as she grew older, and medicine perfectly combined the two.
Dr. Otuwa likes the breadth of family medicine. She can see patients of all ages with a variety of medical condition and build lasting relationships. Family medicine doctors see a little bit of every condition and there’s never a boring day. Dr. Otuwa has a passion for medical work abroad. During her residency at PIH Health Whittier Hospital, she was part of the tropical medicine track and went to Sierra Leone twice. Her family is from Nigeria and her father returns a few times a year to visit family and treat patients. She is looking forward to joining him in the future.
