I cannot express enough gratitude for my psychiatrist. She is truly amazing and has treated me with such care and compassion, almost like a mother would treat her own son. She is an incredible listener who genuinely takes the time to understand you—not just your symptoms but your life as a whole.
What sets her apart is her dedication to helping you beyond just prescribing medication. She provides thoughtful advice on life challenges and goes out of her way to ensure you succeed, whether it’s overcoming personal obstacles or achieving goals like doing well in school. Her sweet and warm-hearted nature makes you feel supported and cared for every step of the way.
Thanks to her, I’ve been able to overcome so many struggles, and I’m in a much better place today because of her unwavering support and belief in me. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your well-being and success, I wholeheartedly recommend her.

One of the first doctors I experienced that actually care about the patients needs, she’s very clear on communication. And she puts her patients first and she goes out of her way to help them the best she can!
October 14, 2024Daniel R.Verified patientVideo visit
The nurse practitioner was completely unprofessional. She was lecturing me about karma and saying that I should stop speaking to her like I’m speaking to a child when I was just trying to explain about filling out the intake form. Extremely rude stuck up and acted like she knew better and wouldn’t let me explain anything. I’m not surprised if her office will end up charging me for a visit. I did not end up going to. Would not recommend.

Dr. Onwu's bedside manner was above and beyond what I expected. She is patient and kind, and knows how to listen and knew how to be a therapist and doctor. I've become reliant on her in a healthy way within a professional boundary and she is consistent with her appointments! I highly recommend her.
