“My experience was good. I did find out that the recommended pharmacy wasnt accepying new patients and n i havent been able to get in touch with anyone from zocdoc to get my prescriptions filled. No one even called me back to.let me know Shope Rite wasn't going to work. I am disappointed about that aspect. ”

“She’s the best she listens to all your ailments. She is genuinely concerned about your well-being and I wouldn’t go to anyone else with her. That’s why she’s my general practitioner and I go to her for my anxiety disorder and anything else I need.”

She was very friendly, accommodating ,and professional
January 6, 2022Nicole S.Verified patient
Very unprofessional. She will set up appointments with you just to not show. Called the office and they are aware that I have this appointment but they're unable to contact her. If you can go somewhere else I would suggest. Getting your health records afterwards is impossible as well. Don't expect to have a visit summary even 2 weeks after your appointment.

Dr Ogbu was simply amazing! She was so personable and professional answering all questions I had! This was my first visit to her practice and I am happy to refer her to others.
August 7, 2024Jacqueline W.Verified patient
This office was phenomenal! I was warmly met my the person working at the front. Then I met with Carrie, nurse, who was great at listening to me and my health concerns. She provided so much information regarding my condition and offered ways to help me treat it. Usually at doctors office, I feel like “just another patient or dollar sign”. Here I felt Carrie actually cared and wanted to help me. I think I spoke with Dr.Ogbu on the phone for my test results; however I am not 100% sure. If so, she was also really kind. I will be coming back to this office next time I need treatment.

The doctor was really nice, so was the lady shadowing her. The staff who did my vitals were very kind as well. I had a good experience !
December 9, 2023Olivia B.Verified patient
As always, she is the best! She is now my primary care physician because she has helped me so much in so many different issues! And if she can’t help me, she sends me out for labs and to someone who can. I just can’t say enough about her!?
September 19, 2023Pamela H.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr Ogbu is my primary care doctor. She works with me as my mental health issues anytime I’m sick any female issues I have. If I need labs, she sends me to LabCorp and then has them sent to her. There are times I go to the office and other times I can see her on Zocdoc. I couldn’t recommend her more!
August 23, 2023Pamela H.Verified patientVideo visit
She has become my primary care doctor. And has handled everything from migraines and small issues like that to very serious issues. I basically lost both my parents in the last three months, I’m getting a divorce and numerous personal things that she has been there at the whole way to make sure that my mental health is taken care of! I gave her a 10 out of 10.

Same as always! She has become my primary care physician because of the current trust her and she’s helped me a lot. She listens, advises, and takes care of any ailments I have! 10/10
June 9, 2023Pamela H.Verified patientVideo visit
As always, she was wonderful! There’s a reason I come back to her every month. Her bedside manner is wonderful. She listens to what I have to say. She gives me suggestions and everything that she’s done for me has worked! There was a time when I had to be hospitalized, and she was right there for me. When I got out to make sure everything follow up was good! I would send my daughter to her and that saying a lot! My daughter still uses a pediatrician though. But there’s nothing bad that I can say about her. she will continue to be my primary care doctor as long as I am here in Maryland! And I don’t foresee going anywhere anytime soon.

Dr. Calista, is the best. She is very knowledgeable, very patient, great listener, outstanding bedside manner. I love that her and her staff respond quickly to your calls. I love that this is a family practice, I even switched my teenage daughter to her practice and will refer family and friends.

I’ve been seeing this provider for a few months now. She always listens to any issues I have. And is very knowledgeable with every issue I’ve had! Her bedside manners great and I never have to wait very long. I always get my medication the same day. so all in all, I would give her five all around!
April 17, 2023Pamela H.Verified patientVideo visit
My appointment always goes very well. I don’t have a long wait time normally. She listens to what I have to say and to what my symptoms are and medications are working or not! And we go from there. I definitely trust her as my primary care.
