I came into the office as a walk-in. I was experiencing some pain. I was seen promptly. I was surprised that I didn’t have to wait long. Dr.Okereke spent a good bit of time throughly explaining what was happening to cause my pain and how the meds he’d prescribe would help me. He took the time to tell me this in a way that I could then explain it to my family. I even took notes. I like that he listened to me and really heard what I said. I didn’t feel like I was being rushed in and out. This is good.

Was not pleased with mother's care. Unprofessional customer service, wait times with appts (up to hours).. Dr does seem to order plenty tests, but doesn't follow up with patient about results and/or further treatment. Be assured, I am having her medical records faxed somewhere else.

Someone said that Dr. Okereke orders too many tests, but had he not ordered all of the tests he did for me, I very well might be dead. He fought other doctors to make sure that I got high quality care and that no stone was left unturned until they arrived at a complete and accurate diagnosis. I greatly appreciate him and trust him immensely. He has great bedside manners. I recommend him to all of my friends and family!!! While you may have to wait a while,at his office, you can rest assured that you will receive high quality care!!!!!

He runs too many tests on everyone, some are unnecessary. He is overly cautious but I am not sure if it is to make money or assure he won't get sued. I didn't get the feeling it was for my benefit. Quick to refer to a specialist. I have spent up to seven hours there.
