    NP Okpaleke is kind and patient. She really listens to her clients needs. I recommend to everyone.
    So glad I found her. She listened to all my problems and addressed everything. I didn’t feel rushed like some others. Very happy with my provider, will recommend!

    This appointment was honestly dissatisfactory. It wasn't clear that the provider listened to anything I said, instead going on long winded rants with very little intervention or willingness to listen. I tried to be forgiving at first, they are the doctor and know better then me. However, when the advice devolved into stuff I already did (which they knew because I had told them) I realized that this was just a form statement with no care for me. Also, I feel as if on ZocDoc it's not made clear that they have a concierge program that they are trying to funnel their patients through.

    I was very nervous to meet with Mrs. Okpaleke due to this being my first appointment, but she was very attentive, listened to my concerns and made me feel seen. I don’t know. I never write reviews, but I needed to write one for her because I need people to know that she really does care.
    She’s extremely knowledgeable, caring, intelligent and professional. She’s very attentive to my health concerns trustworthy, caring and down to earth. She listened and responded well to my medical needs. She also followed up to see how I am doing. The medical services that I received from her is excellent. I highly recommend!!!!!
    I highly recommend NP Okpaleke. She is very professional and knowledgeable in answering all my questions and walking me through the plan of care.
    NP Okpaleke is amazing, she is very knowledgeable and experienced, and she was able to answer all of my questions. I definitely would recommend her, as she made my visit super easy and put me at ease.
