Avoid him at all costs. This guy is a quack. He may appear to be friendly, but his medical knowledge is extremely suspect. In addition is office staff is rude and ignorant. I have filed a complaint with US Dept. Health & Human Services and invite anyone with a similar experience to do the same.

Dr. Afulukwe is an excellent pulmonologist. He has an awesome bedside manner. He is very caring about his patients. He also is aware that I participate in COPD research and take experimental meds for this. He is absolutley on board with my being in the studies. He also was my mom's doc and showed his knowledge of his specialty in treating her. He prolonged her life with his expertise. I wish more American doctors were as caring as he is.

I did not like going to this doctor due to the fact that he has very poor bedside manners. He would not tell me what was wrong with me but did write it down and told me to look it up on Google. I will not go back to this doctor.
