Dr. Okeke is a no nonsense kind of Doctor. I've been coming to him for about 1.5 years and generally like him. Although sometimes he will only say hello and write out my prescription.Its especially annoying when I wait for over an hour in his waiting room and he literally only spends 1 minute with me. Which kind of rubs me the wrong way because I pay a lot of money to see him. I think he should speak to his patients and discuss the reason why they are there to see him in the first place. And then there are other times when he will spend a few minutes having a conversation with me. But we hardly never ever speak about my condition. I just pay the money and he writes out a script.
Dr Okeke is an intelligent, compassionate Doctor that does not beat around a bush. Do what your supposed to and be will support you. But, don't follow his instructions and he has zero tolerance.

Seems better than the PA I was seeing elsewhere. Only 1 visit so far and hope he can help me. Jerry
I was very pleased. He reads people well and is straight forward with honesty. I'll be back ??
I feel he can help me re-focus on my priorities in life and assist me on feeling better.
He's a great doc, but the wait times were terrible! I was there for at least 2 hours!
Stop over booking appointments. Its ridiculous to have to wait over 2 hours!
He's a great compassionate and caring doctor. I would recommend him .
Tubo. Un. Buen. Interes. Por. Mi. Enfermedad. Muy. Atento
I found him and his staff very profession and courteous.
Please tell new patients you may be there for 3 hrs!!!
Straight forward doctor who acknowledges my thought.
Listened and understood concerns, was knowledgeable.
didn't see him but an associate of his Dr. Giddings
The Doctor is very professional! I really recomend!

Very nice and very welcoming and very helpful.
Great Dr.

The office was small and crowded and it was really busy, but Dr. Okeke was very nice. He had a calming demeanor, which was appreciated.
Great
My appointment was for 10am and I didn't get seen until almost 12pm. Then when I finally went back she said they changed my appointment time that's why it took so long. Other than that it was a pretty decent office.
Horrible experience. I went in there for anger management consultation, and was told to divorce my husband and stop knocking on divorces door, was being mocked about situations I was explaining to him and him rolling his eyes and just overall rude. Do not get me wrong, I prefer a blunt and direct doctor.... but not one that makes a mockery of what you are going in for and making impersonations of you, claims you are over reacting, then stares at your breats during the consultation periodically... disgusting facility. Then after making an appointment to see a therapist instead there, I wait for over an hour for them to tell me they booked me with a therapist that does not handle why I am there. When cancelling all future appointments I had booked n the way home, I explained why due to all the errors.. she hung up on me. Do not waste your time!!! RUN FAR AWAY.
The office staff was GREAT! The doctor was very nice and patient. He answered all my questions and put my mind at ease. The counslers were also very nice. Defiantly would recommend to everyone.
Dr. Okeke is a great Doctor!! I feel at ease with him and he doesn't make me feel uncomfortable with my condition. I'm glad they're doing mandatory compliance on the testing because it seems to have weeded out some of the undesirable people that used to come there. I love the nurse with the earring in her lip area she's always so polite and friendly and I look forward to seeing her when I go in. If you want to go to a doctor that really cares and isn't just there to write out some prescription for you this is the doctor that you should go to!!!
Worst doctor ever
He's a great Doctor and I'm very comfortable with him. I will stay with him for many years if possible! And a word of warning. Mandatory compliance drug testing every month!
He is a compassionate and intelligent doctor. I recommend Dr. Okeke, and the other psychiatrist. There office offers so many services, it is incredible. Accept what services they suggest, if you feel it will help you. Dr. Okeke explained to me that he would work with me to assist me in reclaiming my life. However the woman nurse who works up front thinks highly of herself, and lacks empathy. Hence, I refused to argue with someone so dogmatic who refused to listen to reason. Which is why I switched to Dr. Okeke. I hope this helps.
It will be interesting to find out if this new "mandatory compliance testing" will be billed to us patients. And yes, people. Mandatory for everyone, every month.
The wait issues have improved 100% Keep up the great work! Dr. Okeke and staff are great. I will be coming to Dr. Okeke for many years! I recommend him over other Doctors!!
I seen Michelle Giddings she was understanding of the things that I explained to her.... And she listened to my problem.... Thank God I got her
I would like to wait til my second visit to give proper feedback. The office holds good staff and good timing on seeing the patient.
Has to be the best psychiatrist I've ever seen. I did not expect the empathy and he actually listens-this is not a two minute consult and you're kicked out the door. This is a real psychiatric office. I look forward to seeing him again, and to telling him thank you again.
The guy is horrible he gave me strong medication without me knowing anything about me, he works soely on behalf of drug companies that pay him. Horrible Doctor I don't reccomend him.
The are working on the wait times and it really shows. It was really nice to be in and out within 30 minutes. So much better! Keep up the good work! Thank you!!
It was really nice to be in and out in 35 minutes. Dr. Okeke is a great Doctor and I recommend his practice 100% Also, thank the Lord they are improving their wait times! Great job, guys!
this was the third doctor I have tried & the only one I have made a second appointment with. He listened to me. I didn't have to wait 3 months for an appointment. I felt comfortable with him
He is great but the wait times are horrible.
I had the feeling that had I known the exact drugstore & location he would have left out one of my prescriptions. This way I caught it because he had to write it instead of call it in. That was a little disturbing.
Dr. Matthew Okeke was not only professional but seemed genuinely caring as well. I am new to Las Vegas and was told that finding a good psychiatrist would be a nightmare - not with Dr. O! He is a diamond in the rough. I can't say enough about his bedside manner, and attention to the details of my case. Thanks to ZocDocs for helping me find him!!
Very professional very caring
Loved him!
He is a consummate professional just as i expected of a Nigerian man he made sure to.aks me all the right questions he spent an substantial amount of time with me he was unphased at my autistic sons behavior which put me at ease he was breath of fresh air..my only complaint is the rude Hispanic woman at the front desk he should get rid of her
I found this doctor to be very awkward and condensing. He insisted my boyfriend came in the room with me, and spoke to him directly instead of me, telling him to make sure to watch that I take my medication.
Good
He's very helpful and concerning about my health in regards to dealing with my anxiety. Especially that I am fairly new to dealing with my anxiety, he provided me insight on the medication I would be taking temporarily that will help with the coping process. I'm glad taking the medicine will only be temporary because I wasn't very fond at first in regards to having to take medication.
Seems like a nice guy
This is my first time seeing the doctor and i have no complaints. The wait wasnt bad and he was very kind and talked me through everything so that i fully understood what everything meant. I would probably recommend again
