Dr. Okafor is Great!
I showed up for my 8:30 AM appointment and the door was locked. I called the office phone number and they were unable to contact anyone related to the practice and eventually I left because there was no indication that the office would be available. The receptionist called me the day before to confirm my appointment and I receive emails and text messages confirming my appointment. Terrible experience and I will do everything I can to ensure no one else wastes their time with this provider.
Verified patient

Great, the most comfortable doctor I’ve ever had
First time @ the office & everything went smoothly. I feel like I was overly helped by the nurses & the doctor. The advice, the mannerisms, the professionalism was through the roof. Dr. Okafor makes sure to full articulate & explain everything he’s saying, while still asking questions to make sure he understands all needs that you as a patient, want met. Even tells you the price different in prescriptions you need, so he’s allowing you to save money while spending. That right there made me feel right @ home. Overall A+ experience
Verified patient
I have a new provider thanks to Zocdoc.

I recently had my first visit with Dr. Okafor, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The office was very clean and organized, creating a comfortable atmosphere right away. The staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming, and I appreciated the short wait time before being seen. It was also convenient to have lab services available on-site, which saved me an extra trip. The phlebotomist was excellent quick, gentle, and very skilled. Dr. Okafor is amazing he's a great listener, takes his time to answer questions, and provides clear, informative explanations about care and treatment options. I left feeling confident and well cared for. I highly recommend Dr. Okafor and his team to anyone looking for a doctor who combines professionalism, compassion, and efficiency. It’s refreshing to find a practice that truly values its patients.
