I have been to many doctors and I can tell you that this one is amazing. I had a problem that many doctors couldn’t figure out even specialist but she knew right from the beginning where to look and how to get me treated. The only reason why I don’t see her now is because I moved far. Her staff are nice too

Dr. Nkwonta has been my primary care doctor for 10 years. In addition, she takes care of my elderly mother and several of my family members. She has shown excellent clinical judgement in diagnosing and prescribing treatment. She has excellent bedside manners and provides compassionate care to her patients. I also have several friends who go to her. I will continue to recommend Dr. Nkwonta to everyone who needs a primary care doctor.

Dr. Nkwonta is not a capable physican. She is lax on information and knowledge but is all too happy to prescribe medications. I went to another doctor and they were astounded on the amount of unnecessary medications she had prescribed, 4 alone to treat blood pressure. I am not sure that this woman recognizes that all those pills can cause damage to the liver and kidneys over time. I feel that she is a greedy parasite and not completely aware of what she is doing. I am on less than half of my medication am doing much better and feel better.
