I was a patient for years. I got fed up. There are too many qualified physicians to waste my time on one that does not respect the time of her patients. I waited for HOURS in the office. One time it was upward 5 hours. HELLO, I work and have a life! It was as if I had all day to wait for my scheduled appointment. Enough was enough. Then of course it was a hassle to have my medical records transferred because unlike other physicians, she doesn't have the forms... REALLY? Everything with this office is difficult. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, not worth the hassle.

I hate the way this office runs and I think it is just about writing prescriptions. Not thorough at all, put a charge on my credit report that doesn’t apply to me and after it was confirmed it’s not my charge, it still have not been taken off. If i could give it a zero star I would.

Dr. Oganwu seems to be bothered by her patients and very evil. Asking her a follow up question is like waiting to be punched. Very evil.

I've two of her employees to hang up the phone on me and I address the concerned with Dr. she informed the office mgr. Karen and she really didn't have much to say her attitude is dull and unpleasant like the staff; Dr. Oganwu is a great Dr, but her staff will run her patients away.... in the process of finding a new Dr. Her staff will call you for follow appointments but no updated labs were done ; how can a Dr. diagnosis me without updated labs when I questioned this I was put on hold for over 25 mins. no one ever came back to the phone: spoke with Karen the Office Mgr. again and her attitude to so reserved. I ask Karen to have Dr. call still waiting on that call........ DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE UNLESS YOUR ARE UNPROFESSIONAL TOO........
