Dr. Oladapo R. Osuntokun, also known as "Dr. O" to his patients, is a highly respected psychiatrist in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Originally from Nigeria, he immigrated to the United States years ago while training to become an orthopedic surgeon. However, during a flight, he had a life-changing epiphany. He heard the voice of God gently guiding him towards a new mission. Instead of healing people with a knife, he was meant to use his words. Since then, Dr. Osuntokun has used his words to fulfill his mission as an author, psychiatrist, and pastor. He is currently the pastor of the Word of God Parish in Luzerne, PA, a Pentecostal spiritual-filled Bible-based Church.
