Nice doctor he I felt listened at all time.

I absolutely will continue seeing Dr. Okoroafor after the fantastic session I had with him. He was a great, empathetic listener while also asking the right questions to ensure he had a proper understanding of my life and what I’ve been going through. His diagnosis matched what other psychiatrists have given me, but his warm, personal approach made me feel more comfortable than with anyone else. He gave me hope for the future and for that I am incredibly grateful.

Dr Okoroafor went above and beyond to make sure that my prescription was covered by my insurance. Ultimately, it wasn't, but the fact that Dr Okoroafor went to bat for me (expeditiously, with excellent communication) spoke volumes about him as a physician.

I started working with Emmanuel at Recovery Mental Healthcare PLLC via telehealth in March, and the experience has been exceptional. Despite the virtual setting, Emmanuel has always made me feel connected, understood, and supported. Their compassionate approach and keen insight into mental health made the transition to telehealth seamless and effective. They were always attentive to my concerns, and the personalized care I received helped me make significant strides in my mental health journey. I highly recommend Emmanuel for anyone seeking mental health care through telehealth — their professionalism and empathy truly shine, even in a virtual setting.”

He also takes his time to check in and ensure everything is going well. In addition, he is very personable and easy to talk to (not all providers have that gift). Thank you Emmanuel for all you do!
