Dr. Ifeyinwa Uchechukwu Okocha, MD

Dr Okocha, you and your support staff failed me miserably and then discharged me as a patient in the middle of this health crisis that was exacerbated by your office delaying my care for nearly a year. My increasing frustration was honest, justified and well earned. You permanently discharged a patient in distress because I wasn’t going to accept being lied to and ignored anymore? Did you really think I was coming back after the abhorrent “care” you and your support staff were providing? Just another act of pettiness and cruelty from your Practice. I assure you that accountability is not abuse, but medical neglect certainly is and I have piles of evidence proving who is accountable for allowing me to get this ill. Why haven’t you personally reached out to the patient your inaction harmed? Did Steffy pass on the tearful messages I regularly left with her? Did she tell you how desperate I was for help? I begged her to help me. Then I begged the others for help. I haven’t heard… your voice on the other side of the phone In nearly a year as your staff delayed the treatment you prescribed through sheer ignorance of the Prior Authorization process and your knowledge as it applies to my condition. Disgraceful. I have now been referred to the capable hands of Adult Immunology at John’s Hopkins Bayview….where you should have referred me to begin with since this was apparently WAY outside the scope of your offices capabilities. You, your staff your entire organization are going to have a lot to answer for in the delay of care that has now left me unable to absorb nutrients, medication and fluids. You have let me languish with chronic norovirus without any sort of urgency to provide a proper diagnosis OR care for over a year and now the anti-nausea meds are no longer being absorbed leaving me nauseated 24 hrs a day. Why? That’s your karma to live with. I’ve taken down my original review, but now you understand the tip of the evidence iceberg I have to prove culpability. It’s not just my word against yours, it’s CareFirst, CVS Caremark and two wonderful Complex Care Managers brought on to help get a response from the negligent, dismissive liars you have working in support of your practices mission. That mission does not include integrity or compassion. MD Okocha, Steffy A, Erena F, Denise P and The Comptroller that signed this dying patient’s dismissal from your office are culpable and will all be held legally and professionally accountable for neglecting my care, but the questionable morality of your failures is yours to live with.
