Kathryn Maduforo, DNP, FNP-C
Rehoboth Medical Center
Kathryn Maduforo is a nationally board-certified family nurse practitioner and the founder of Rehoboth Medical Center in the White Oak section of Silver Spring, MD. She holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree along with a master’s in health administration, and has more than 20 years of healthcare experience spanning community, long-term care, rehabilitation, and hospital settings.
About this listing
Kathryn Maduforo is a nurse practitioner, not a physician. In Maryland, nurse practitioners practice independently and may diagnose, treat, and prescribe. We include her in this directory because of an access gap she uniquely fills: she is, as far as we can verify, the only primary-care provider in Montgomery County who consults in Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa.
Why patients choose Kathryn Maduforo
The language range is the headline — Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, Spanish, and English covers Nigeria’s three largest languages plus the county’s largest immigrant language, in a single office. For the White Oak and Hillandale corridor, where much of the area’s West African community lives, that removes the interpreter step from routine care entirely.
The practice is built for access rather than for scale: it takes walk-ins, sees adults, seniors, and children aged 14 and up, and offers video visits alongside in-person appointments. For families juggling shift work and childcare, a practice that will see you without an appointment is often the difference between managing a chronic condition and managing it only when it becomes an emergency.
Practice focus
Full-service family practice: preventive care and physicals, chronic disease management, acute and walk-in care, and senior care.
Languages and access
Kathryn Maduforo speaks English, Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa, and Spanish. She generally accepts new patients, sees patients 14 and up, and offers video visits in addition to the Lockwood Drive office.
