First Care Medical is by far the worst medical clinic I have ever had to deal with in my entire life. They don’t return your calls. Never answer the phone and to top it all off have rude staff. DONT USE FIRST CARE MEDICAL!

What will I say about this Doctor that people don"t know. he is very good. My Dad was very sick and he went to different doctors both specialist. but one day I met someone in MA. who told me about him. I travel far down to NC to meet him with my Dad. really I was and still happy to know and experience such a person. I will recommend him to any one and and still singing his name all over America.Now My dad don't go to Hospital or constant hospital visit. He is fine. Thank God and May God Bless Dr Okwara.
