She was a really respectable doctor. Definitely the nicest GI doctor I have seen before. The wait was a little long but she answers all your questions so for that I don’t mind a wait.

I went to Dr. Negbenebor with an embarrassing and concerning problem. She listened to my concerns without making me feel awkward, embarrassed, stupid, etc. She let me talk through my anxiety about the situation and never made it seem like I was over reacting. She took me seriously which sometimes doctors and specialists don’t do! When we talked about a plan of action she respected the fact that I preferred not to take a prescription medication if possible, and talked through other methods with me. She is extremely calm and soothing in her demeanor, making me feel really comfortable. What could’ve been torturous ended up being a really nice experience!

Darlene was fast and got the job done.

Dr. Negbenebor and her staff were excellent, and provided me with all the information needed to prepare for a scheduled procedure. I mentioned an unrelated medical issue which concerned her, so she scheduled an appointment within the hour, called later to follow up, and even called in a prescription for me on a Friday night so I did not have to wait until Monday. She is professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to, and I would highly recommend her...!

The doctor was professional and thorough. She is acquainted with my last GI md, and appears to practice with the same philosophy of patient care. This was very comforting to hear.
