Very nice man and good staff!
They explained why things were done and how.
My insurance (Aetna) refused to cover a few things that were clearly necessary, and they managed to work around it to be sure I had a good cardio evaluation.
I will definitely go back in the future!
My father died of a heart attack at age 53, so I would not go to a mediocre cardiologist! I believe he was recommended by my primary care doc (Roscoe Adams)

I love the doctors that assisted me, however, I did not like the front desk people. Although somewhat professional, very short with people, rude, and did not handle me professionally. I initially made my appt online with Zoc Doc and it was unclear from Cigna's website that this doctor took my insurance. So I left a message for when making my appointment to call me. I never received a call. So when my appointment day came (today) I called an hour before asking if in fact this doctor takes my insurance because his name is NOT LISTED on Cigna's website as a participating the doctor. The receptionist Bianca was cold, rude, and short with trying to help me understand. I explained that I was referred and that I didn't have money to pay out of pocket besides my co-pay. She handled me very rudely and wasn't any better in person. I had a sour taste in my mouth dealing with the front desk people. Their was a pregnant woman that assisted Bianca and she was short with patients when asked a question and rude. Funny, they were pretty darn nice to each other. Perhaps they should practice being nicer to Dr. Oke's patients. IJS. Glad I don't have to go back there any time soon

I would not recommend this doctor or his staff to anyone I care about. In fact, I wouldn't even recommend them to Lucifer himself. I've been seeing going here for o e year too long. The staff is incredibly disrespectful, gosspi and mock patients sitting right there in front of them loud enough for everyone to hear. They don't respect your privacy, will lie blantently to your face and the doctor is no better. I have no idea why he chooses to lower himself by hiring the worst of the worst, but then he continues on to damage his reputation further by not defending his patients or rectifying the problems with frequent disrespect. I won't be coming here again. I'm stunned he has so many stars. It leads me to believe these users were first time visitors or that the staff is being paid extra to tilt things in their favor. Don't go here. Trust me, if you may not regret it immediately but you will very shortly after. He will not continue being successful if he and his staff continues being idiots. Truth.
