Dr. Godwin Ikechukwu Meniru, MD

Overbooks patient appointments daily. Be expected to wait 2 to 2 1/2 hours to be seen not to mention the office is very disorganized.

Doctor meniru by far wasn’t my first choice. I switched to him mid way through my pregnancy because dr euro closed down. I didn’t know what to expect. My first appointment he amazed me spent almost 20 mins answering my questions and listening to all of my concerns. Any appointment I’ve had he was always willing to listen. Shortly after switching my care over to him I started to have complications so for the last four months of my pregnancy he made sure I was seen twice a week every week with two ultrasounds and heart monitoring to make sure my baby was okay. Some of these reviews are right. He is old fashioned which wasn’t what I was used to. But at the end on the day. He never made me feel like my opinion or my care was even unimportant. I would definitely recommend him. Only bad thing is the wait times are horrendous.

Everyone seemed so quick to praise this doctor, so I held off in writing my own feelings. Then I saw that another person felt similarly, and I wanted to add my two cents. I find him difficult to deal with, and quite rude. It seems like he uses his "soft-spokenness" as an excuse to ignore and judge people. He also became very irritable when I mentioned that I had first tried to get in to see another doctor, and this bitterness is very visibly held against me. He spends more time washing his hands than addressing my concerns. He is dismissive and terrible in his way of connecting with people. Also, his age seems to be a hindrance; some of his methods and judgmental attitudes are very old-fashioned. Do yourself a favor and try to go to another doctor if possible.

My first visit went well, but every visit since has degenerated. I, honestly, find him quite rude, dismissive, and misogynistic. He seems to have very old-fashioned ideas about women, and what is the "right type" of pregnancy (not too old, not too young, not too this or that). He does not look at me during visits, barely glances at my file, and is very inflexible in both his scheduling and attitude. He is judgmental, and openly and derisively laughed at me. He has stated quite plainly that he is in charge, and that I would have no say in my care, and if I had a problem with it, I wasn't welcome in his office (I wish I had been recording this exchange; it was truly shocking.) He seems very insecure and unwilling to listen. Additionally, he also appears constantly exhausted and stressed, which he seems to take out on his patients. On a side note, his waiting room has smelled of marijuana on several occasions, once so strongly that one of the other (bolder) patients went and checked… the bathroom to see if someone was smoking in there. Once could be a coincidence, but several times over is not. That being said, the rest of the staff is quite nice, helpful, and competent, and I wish they worked for someone who seems to actually care about his patients.

An amazing doctor! Very thorough and honestly “listens” to his patients. Well mannered, soft spoken, extremely educated and experienced! Pays extreme attention to every detail and truly is involved in each of his patient’s experiences. He even leaves kind notes in detail regarding his thoughts if he is unable to be present after a surgery so that you are not hearing it from someone else. There is so much more about his practice and his office team that are truly just comforting and reliable. A truly great doctor, I recommend him highly and refer anyone that is looking for a reliable obgyn!

Very straight-forward. Caring physician. Thorough. Compassionate.
