Nneka Unachukwu, fondly called Dr. Una is the founder of Ivy League Pediatrics, a multi-site pediatric practice in Georgia. Over the last nine years, it has thrived and has been voted ‘Best of Gwinnett’ for four years in a row and rated 5 stars by over 250 parents. While building this, she developed a love for entrepreneurship and has since built many other successful businesses. 

 Like many doctors, Dr. Una was ignorant, scared and felt like an imposter when she started out in business because she was trained to be a great clinician, not an entrepreneur. Over the years, she learned that the two do not need to be mutually exclusive so embraced both worlds. As a result, she is able to enjoy the practice of medicine, develop her other interests and best of all, not miss time with her family. 

 In 2018, Dr. Una founded EntreMD, a platform created to help physicians embrace entrepreneurship. Through conferences, online courses and coaching, she has helped many doctors build successful businesses so they can practice medicine and live life on their own terms.
