Never send out a link to join the video visit. Completely MIA. And the office voicemail box is full, so don’t bother calling.

She was great! Really personal so it was easier to just start off being real and genuine about my intentions. Great listener with great advice catered to MY actual needs. She didn’t just give me textbook advice- she directed/listened to me in a way she knew would speak to me :)

She was absolutely remarkable, clear communication, great listener she explained everything repeated back to me what I was saying to her just absolutely amazing by far one of the best.

Immediately she let ME speak. She told me to tell her what was going on. This was REFRESHING. my past psychs always go on and on not caring for my story but i was able to tell mine to her and she listened to it all. asked questions. engaged. Validated my emotions. when explaining things she asked if i understood or if i had questions many times, which made me feel so comfortable; like i was able to say anything that came to mind. She's very knowledgeable and cares about what her *client* needs specifically, rather than whatever is most common. she tailors treatment based on your story and needs and i find this really valuable in such an industry. Overall she's my favorite

Feels like you’re talking to a long time friend, not a medical professional, which makes it so much easier to share things with. Friendly and knowledgeable. Relatable and would recommend.

Great listener. She listened without judgment. She was kind and open minded. I could tell she took her position as a doctor with all seriousness. She took all aspects of my history into consideration. I could tell she's a doctor that cares about her patients. She took me by surprise with how much she cared about my well being and didn't rush my visit. I felt heard and well cared for.

She was very attentive extremely understanding about my symptoms, my issues and my situation .. I started the day feeling extremely uneasy and ending the day with feeling like things might be OK afterall. ..I would highly recommend her and she's very nice too .. the woman that is part of the staff that called me this morning, prior to the appointment to sign the necessary paperwork, was very nice as well. Overall I had a very good experience from start to finish. I usually don't leave reviews but I felt like I should share because I was so unsure of what to expect so I hope that maybe I can help someone who is already feeling worried and uneasy and maybe unexpectedly found themselves needing a specialist in this field that..although everyone's situation is different.. I found her to be honest- knowledgeable and attentive and you should try making an appointment
Verified patientVideo visit
I think this was a great session for the purpose of confirmation. I'd say I was able to step away from this conversation with more confidence in my prior positive beliefs and less on my more negative beliefs. I would recommend Constance Okafor, PMHNP for someone who is overwhelmed and in need of a 3rd voice of reason. She was a nice help.
