About
Dr. Chike Okafor is a Duke fellowship-trained Sports Medicine physician and the founder of Vertex Sports Medicine. He is dedicated to helping patients move better, recover from injury, and return to the activities they enjoy with confidence. Dr. Okafor completed his Sports Medicine fellowship at Duke University, where he cared for athletes and active individuals across a wide range of sports and performance levels. He completed his Family Medicine residency at Montefiore Medical Center and earned his medical degree from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. With advanced training in non-operative orthopedics, sports injury management, ultrasound-guided procedures, regenerative medicine, and performance optimization, Dr. Okafor takes a personalized, patient-centered approach to care. He believes successful treatment begins with understanding the whole person not just the injury. Whether a patient is training for a race, recovering from an injury, staying active with family, or seeking to improve their overall health, he works to develop individualized treatment plans that align with their goals. Vertex Sports Medicine was founded with the vision of creating a more personalized healthcare experience. In a healthcare environment that often feels rushed and impersonal, Dr. Okafor prioritizes taking the time to listen, educate, and partner with patients throughout their recovery and wellness journey. His clinical interests include sports medicine, non-operative orthopedic care, ultrasound-guided procedures, PRP and regenerative medicine, gait and performance analysis, weight management, and concierge primary care. Dr. Okafor's mission is simple: to help patients move better, recover smarter, and perform stronger.
