From Physician to Clinic Owner: The Journey Behind Alabaster Healthcare

The journey to owning a business is different for everyone. For me, it wasn’t something I always planned; it developed over time through my experiences in healthcare. Over my 12-year career as a physician, I, Dr. Eseoghene (Ese) Abokede, saw how often patients felt rushed or unheard.

Those moments stayed with me and slowly shaped a bigger vision. I wanted to create a space where care felt more personal, more thoughtful, and more accessible. That vision became Alabaster Healthcare.

The Story Behind the Journey

Building Alabaster Healthcare has been a journey of learning, growth, and determination. From starting in 2022 to slowly building the practice through virtual care, finding the right space in July 2025, and turning it into a welcoming clinic—each step played an important role. There were challenges along the way, but they helped shape the clinic into what it is today.

A Message to Future Entrepreneurs

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this—be willing to learn. Building a business requires patience, adaptability, and the courage to step into something new. You don’t have to have all the answers from the start, but you do need the willingness to grow along the way.

Alabaster Healthcare represents more than a clinic to me, it’s a reflection of my values, my experiences, and my commitment to delivering better care. If you’re looking for care that puts you first, I invite you to experience Alabaster Healthcare and schedule your visit today.
