Anthony Okafor PA- C
Anthony Okafor is a fully licensed Physician Assistant in the State of Texas. My goal and passion are to help individuals find and regain their sense of self again, using my extensive background & experiences I’ve encountered in the field of medicine, and also working as a PA in San Antonio Behavioral Hospital. Those experiences & exposures to different kinds of people from the underserved to suburban areas prepared me well to be in-tune with others’ feelings emotionally, cognitively & physically. As a Psychiatric Physician Assistant here with Northridge Behavioral Health, I work within a Care Team service model that gives you the patient access to the treatment options and support they need. Additionally, my goal is to strive and inspire hope, a sense of empowerment to overcome your obstacles, and provide you — the patient — with the quality mental health care that you deserve.

The clinic offers inspiration of hope and empowerment to thrive in all aspects of life.
As a physician associate/assistant, my clinical background experience includes general practice medicine and treating the individual as a whole. So, a psychological comprehensive assessment and care management plan is provided to all patients.
