Dr. Ezeanolue (or “Dr. Easy” as his young patients call him), has been helping children lead healthier lives for over twenty years. After finishing medical school at the University of Nigeria, he completed his residency in pediatrics at Howard University in Washington D.C. He went on to complete a fellowship in pediatric infectious diseases and earn a Master of Public Health degree at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (now Rutgers). Dr. Ezeanolue is certified by the American Board of Pediatrics.
When not treating pediatric patients, Dr. Ezeanolue keeps busy as an educator, researcher, and policymaker. He has held teaching appointments at both the University of Nevada and the University of Nigeria. Dr. Ezeanolue has also served on numerous committees for organizations as varied as the National Institute of Health, the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the HIV Medicine Association, and the National Minority Clinical Research Association. The author of over seventy scholarly articles and the recipient of over two dozen awards and honors, Dr. Ezeanolue is certainly one of the busiest pediatricians working today.
Currently, Dr. Ezeanolue sees patients at Northeastern Nevada Pediatrics in Elko, Nevada. He is passionate about helping children get the best possible start in life. The following is how Dr. Ezeanolue describes his practice in his own words.
“I believe that every child deserves a healthy beginning. The first twenty-one months of our life (nine months in our mother’s womb and our first twelve months outside her womb) are crucial and can have an irreversible impact on our entire life. I became a doctor because of my desire to support pregnant women in making the right decisions during pregnancy. I became a pediatrician to support mothers during their child’s first twelve months of life and beyond. Healthy adults come from healthy children.”
