I recently had the opportunity to briefly meet Dr. Wejinya,
an Allergy and Immunology specialist located here in NWA. In the spirit of
connecting community, I wanted to profile her on this week’s post.
Dr. Wejinya moved to NWA a little over a year ago from
Madison, Wisconsin. She attended
undergrad at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas and she completed
medical school at the University of Texas Southern Medical Center in
Dallas. It was during her fourth year of
medical school during her rotations that she discovered her enjoyment in taking
care of patients with asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, eczema, hives,
and autoimmune diseases; therefore, she chose to specialize in Allergy and
Immunology.
Dr. Wejinya treats children, as well as adults, at Hedberg Allergy and Asthma Center, which has offices in both Rogers and Fayetteville. “The residents of Northwest Arkansas
experience significant more allergies than some other states so I enjoy most
being able to make a difference in the lives of my patients when their symptoms
are under control. On a personal note, I enjoy the friendliness of the
residents of NWA.”
She is married to Dr. Uche Wejinya, a professor at the
University of Arkansas. They are newly married with no children yet. “We love
to travel, and our most fun life experiences so far have been zip-lining in
Costa Rica during our honeymoon and climbing the Great Wall in Beijing, China.”
Look for Dr. Wejinya’s ad in the upcoming Black
Business Directory of NWA set to debut this spring!!
