    Dr. Ibeku is the best mental health care provider I have been too. As opposed to others, she just gets me. I have seen her for over a year now and will continue to do so. She is by my side through the good and the bad…and when there is bad, she calms the waters! Amazing Doctor!

    My experience with this provider was positive. We initially encountered a connection issue, but it was quickly resolved and she communicated effectively. She appears to have a strong background in her field and addressed my concerns maturely. I found her to be pleasant to speak with during my first visit.

    The doctor was at times insensitive during our conversation and was unable to help me over all. Her recommendation was Zoloft when I am truly looking for help regarding a tattoo that is ruining my life.

    Terrible asked to get a preauthorizati9n from insurance because I couldn't afford to pay out of pocket, and she lied about it and hung up on me after I called her asking. Also flipped out on me for calling g her because I had to wait hours in the pharmacy waiting on hee to approve insurance etc and didn't even end up getting g the medication.

    Dr. Chikaodi has excellent bedside manner. I was reluctant to seek mental health help and was new to the experience. She began communicating with me very clearly a half hour before the appointment to assist me in completing forms and with insurance. She called me to ensure I had no issues connecting with her via zoom. She listened to my background and truly cared about me as a person. She is very experienced and highly educated with extensive background experience making her the perfect holistic mental healthcare provider. I especially loved how she incorporated spiritual or religious beliefs& that they can help with mental health. I specifically saw her for anxiety and nightmares, I have a follow up with her in 2 weeks. I was anxious about beginning treatment , which she immediately sent to the pharmacy after our meeting. She called me after I had texted her regarding my reluctancy and fears of treatment with pregnancy/breastfeeding, she called me personally, listened &reassured me.
