Summary
Dr. Elegbe has 30 years experience in Internal Medicine, the last 22 of which have been spent in practice in the UK.

Since becoming a consultant in 1999, he has treated adult patients with various internal medicine problems including hypertension, heart attack, stroke, asthma, COPD, diabetes emergencies, poisoning and diseases in old age among other illnesses.
