I was very impressed with Dr. Onwueme. He is extremely knowledgeable, well trained, and very thorough and thoughtful. He took the time to address my concerns and outlined and explained the treatment plan. I would highly recommend him for gastro issues.

Doctors with good bedside manners, who take time to listen are hard to come by and Dr. Keno was absolutely great. He took the time to listen to my complaints, was great during the examination and even called to follow-up afterwards. Will defn. keep him as my Dr.

Outstanding bedside manner -the best I have seen in my 15 years. I am a literature professorat Towson and clearly Dr Keno's varied life experiences make it easy for him to relate to his patients. Very smart but unassuming, his greatest strength is that he listens carefully.

Dr. O has excellent bedside manner. He made me feel very comfortable discussing my condition and explained everything with simple everyday words. I went to him as a second opinion for a stomach problem and he took the time to make sure I understood how he came to his diagnosis and that we arrived at the plan together. I have had three visits now and only thing is that the waits can be longer than 30 minutes at times. the staff is nice though and the waiting area quiet.
