32-year-old Nigerian doctor Foyekemi Adeyemo Ikyaator opens her own Emergency Room in Houston, TX

32-year-old Nigerian, Dr. Foyekemi Adeyemo Ikyaator is the emergency room physician and Medical Director of Life SaversER located in Houston, Texas.

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. The Nigerian native was practically raised in the States and groomed to care for the physical well being of people. 
 

No doubt coming from a structured support system that purported academic superiority, Dr. Foye received her education on a full academic scholarship. A self-proclaimed human rights proponent, the silver lining of Dr. Foye is simply helping people. 



Life Savers Emergency Room was created to meet the medical needs of Houston. They are a stand-alone emergency room, meaning they are not attached to a hospital. Dr. Foye enjoy Emergency Medicine tremendously and at Life Savers ER, they are able to provide the same ER care much more efficiently than at the hospital because they have an onsite laboratory, radiology equipment and pharmacy. There is no waiting in line for your labs to get sent or processed. Nor is there the risk of waiting in the waiting room for hours to be seen by a doctor.
 

After completing her residency in Emergency Medicine in 2012, at the Emory School of Medicine and Public Health, in Atlanta GA, Dr. Foye moved to Houston TX. to further her practice. She gained extensive experience working within the St. Luke's Health System. Within a few short years, she decided it was time to do what she wanted to do.

Today, Dr. Foye direct the free-standing Life Savers Emergency Room where she can take more time with her patients and counsel them on specific needs as well as promote the kind of medicine that she believes is necessary in today's community.

Dr. Foye is married to Orseer Ikyaator and they are blessed with a boy. Also see a photo of her as a little girl with her mother, Mrs Foluso Adetutu Adeyemo.

  8. The only advantage I see to these stand alone ERs is that they would be less congested than the hospital ER. However, they won't be able to handle any serious emergencies...if you are having a heart attack, or if you have to be transported by an ambulance, you'll have to go to a hospital ER. On the other hand, if you're able to walk, why would you go to an ER instead of going to an urgent-care center or a doctors office, which are significantly less expensive? The ER would charge you that crazy "facilities fee" just like the hospital ER. You may not care if you are insured, but eventually the insurance premiums would go up if this trend catches. If you are not insured, well, you've just incurred a significant debt.

    Abeg make una no vex for me, I'm just reflecting on the benefits of this practice model. I'm certain it can be lucrative for the physician, but I would caution anyone(my Nigerians in Houston) about the potentially high cost to the patient.
