Maybe it's just how his nationality is. Not the best bedside manner. Very straight and to the point. Which is good except The monotone voice. I felt like a child in school being spoken to by a stern teacher. Besides that he's ok.

Great provider. He will be doing my knee surgery in Jul 26. He answered all my questions completely and has made me feel less anxious about the upcoming surgery.

I think he's very knowledgeable on his specialty. The more I'm around him the more educated I am about my care. He's very concerned about his patients in giving the best care possible.

Dr Okafor is an excellent doctor who has a very lovely and kind personality! He listened to me and walked me through everything leading up to my surgery. I am recovering well and I'm exceedingly grateful for Dr Okafor's magic hands. If there were only more Dr Okafors running around! He has fixed my hip and I am no longer in pain. So many thanks for that!
