A dedicated scholar with a passion for learning, he received his Bachelor of Science degree from Canisius College in Buffalo, NY and was accepted to the prestigious Medical School at the State University of New York (SUNY) in Syracuse, NY where he received his Medical Degree in 2009. During his early Internal Medicine Residency days at SUNY Stony Brook Teaching Hospitals, it did not take him long to discover his love for rheumatology when he went on to complete a sought-after Fellowship at New York University/Hospital for Joint Diseases in New York City in 2014.
Dr. Dodji, as he is affectionately called by friends and colleagues, is a native of Togo, West Africa. After spending over a decade in the colder climates of the east coast, he sought out the beauty and warmth of the desert and became an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Nevada, Reno – Las Vegas Campus in 2016. In the same capacity, he taught the charter class of the newly established UNLV School of Medicine as well as the following graduating class. He received accolades from residents and faculty alike for his teaching. Subsequently he was asked to become an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Medicine/Rheumatology at the UNLV School of Medicine where he worked for two years teaching the young physicians in training the art of being a committed practitioner.
Opening Advanced Rheumatology Associates of Nevada, is the culmination of a lifelong ambition of developing his own private practice and providing optimal, high-quality, evidence-based care for the community.
