We waited 2 hours before he was taken into see the Doctor. Although the staff was pleasant I believe the waiting time was too long. What good does it do to make an appointment.?
Dr. Maduka is an outgoing professional who is very knowledgeable and made great decisions regarding my health issues. His staff is wonderful and I will continue seeing him for my back/knee care.

Finally I found a doctor that I am comfortable with and like and trust already. He really shows that he wants to treat my pain and not just mask it. He is an incredible doctor.

Dr. Maduka was professional, kind and empathetic to my concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking his specialty. This is coming from a paramedic who happens to be the son of a doctor and the father of one as well.

Bad experience with the pushy doctors assistant who want me to get involved in their programs while I wanted to remain on my present slow and steady health plan. Only wanted to change doctors because they take Medicare and current doctor does not. She wanted to book an expensive MRI just because Medicare would cover it. Even though I brought in an MRI from 1 year ago. She wanted new X-rays but I have already been through a battery of exams over the past year or two and we could just order the file from the previous doc. Why subject my body to unessesary radiation? Why? Just because its billable I think is the answer.. After two hours of testing and interviews and waiting the doctor comes in ...I made it clear I was not interested in their programs. I have been declared disabled by the courts and As fragile as I was I just wanted to continue my present course of daily walking ang light stretching and taking medication for chronic pain. The doctor said I must submit to the additional battery of tests in order to be one of his patients. I said then I am at the wrong facility. And we parted ways.
