Following her heart since age eight, when she decided to become a doctor, Lola Ogbonlowo inaugurates her private family practice on Monday, January 31, 2022. Leesburg resident and mother of two, one daughter is following her into medicine while the other is contemplating a career in law.

Experienced in both Telemedicine and clinical practice, Dr. Lola is a superb diagnostician who saved the life of a telemedicine patient by recognizing potentially fatal pulmonary embolism symptomatology and immediately directing her to inpatient care.

In addition to her M.D., she has studied Biology at George Mason University and earned a Master's Degree in Science and Biotechnology from Johns Hopkins. Her internship and three years of residency focused on Family Practice, in addition to which she is a Certified Lactation Consultant.

Caring for patients from infant to geriatric, she believes family practice to be the patient's "first line of defense," which she carries out with her "NURTURE, EMPOWER, HEAL" credo, nurturing the whole patient instead of treating a bundle of symptoms; empowering each to be a partner with her in the life-long health journey; healing with compassion.

Her vast medical experience is international, with volunteerism including the Loudoun Free Clinic, the Healthy Babies project of the D.C. Birthing Center, and medical mission trips to Haiti and El Salvador.

Beginning January 31, Monday, Dr. Lola welcomes you to her Lighthouse Family Medicine and Wellness in the Lansdowne Office Park.
