Solomon Ondoma always knew he would become a doctor. During holiday breaks from kindergarten through first grade, he'd hang out with his mother at the military hospital in Uganda — where she was a psychiatric nurse who headed the military unit servicing psychiatric patients and performed general nursing — and watch what everyone was doing. Now, he’s living his dream and more, working as a neurosurgeon at mercyone_iowa in Mason City. According to the American Board of Neurological Surgery, Dr. Ondoma is one of 28 board certified neurosurgeons in Iowa and perhaps only one of two Black neurosurgeons in the state.
