"I enjoy working in Oklahoma City!"

“I came from abroad. I found nothing but kind, welcoming, hard-working, fair and honest people in Oklahoma.”

Tomás Owens MD,
Associate Program Director and faculty physician

“I always say OKC is a pretty big city with a small-town feel. I love that most days there’s hardly any traffic too! Wonderful city with a great cost of living. Nice for starting a family and when needing to repay student loans.”

Lauren Hopkins DO,
Second-year Resident

“We came to OK from Indiana in 1990 without knowing much about the area. From the very beginning we found a great environment with friendly people! The cost of living is quite reasonable and it is very family-friendly. We live in Edmond, a nice smaller city just north of OKC, with great schools, restaurants, etc. Whether you live in Edmond, Norman (home of OU), or OKC itself it’s easy to get around the whole area, including a very nice downtown area. OKC also has a great airport with easy travel just about anywhere.”

Neal Clemenson MD,
Program Director
