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.

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

By far one of the best doctors visits I’ve had. The office is very spacious and clean. The staff was extremely nice and welcoming and Dr. Okafor is very knowledgeable and kind! He was able to answer any questions and concerns I had. Not once did I feel like the appointment was rushed. He takes his time with each and every patient and makes sure that any questions are answered. Definitely am making him my primary doctor!

November 7, 2025Tiffany S.Verified patient
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.
