Thought it was very interesting about your letter like what was the point besides to be noisy. I know you were hating I hate “professionals like you that want to intimidate so weird.

My appointment was changed to another day with another doctor I accepted that and I received an email that a new appointment was created but no further follow-up information on how to connect or meet up with the new practitioner.

Dr O is very warm and genuine, I LOVED the colorful and inviting vibe of the office. I felt very listened to and like that issues I wanted to discuss were all addressed. Would highly recommend this provider to others seeking similar assistance with medication management.

Dr. Maxine Okafor is amazing! Her tone of voice made me feel very comfortable at our first meeting. I explained my problems and Dr.Okafor asked me specific questions and came up with a treatment plan by the end of our meeting. I would definitely recommend seeing Dr. Okafor!

Such an amazing provider. The best psychiatrist I’ve been to thus far. She is really focused on the holistic approach which i think is the most important for healing. I would recommend Dr. O to anyone struggling with anxiety/depression!

Dr O was attentive. In tune with my current problem, but heard deeper than I realized my issue was. I look forward to my journey with Dr O
More than 1 year agoKristi M.Verified patient
Dr. Okafor was very friendly and personable. Made me comfortable right away. She was interested in my concerns and came up right away with a plan. She uses both holistic and medical approaches and is very conservative. Treatment plan start out conservatively and she leaves plenty of room for adjustment depending on how the visits go. She seems very familiar with treatment for insomnia. Just getting started, so we'll see how I progresss
December 14, 2022Martin E.Verified patient

This was a virtual visit but I felt seen and heard which was a great experience and having a roadmap for treatment really feels like take control of my mental health.

Maxine was absolutely incredible! She explained things in such a clear and concise way that I have never had before. She didn’t just diagnose me and send me on my way. She fully made sure I understood what she was thinking and gathering from the responses that I gave to her questions. I really felt understood and supported and I’m so excited to be on this journey with her! I would recommend her to anyone as well as the perfect prescription clinic.
October 7, 2022Cara F.Verified patient
Wow what an experience, dr. Okafor made sure I was in a safe space and made me feel like a priority. This was my first time talking with a psychiatrist and I’m so happy with my session, I am looking forward to our 3 week update (:
October 6, 2022Molly O.Verified patient
Have you ever heard of a Doctor calling you to make sure you canceled your appointment so that way you didn't get charged? Neither have I, except for today. I booked Dr. O hoping to set up primary care, this was not something that she at this time is able to provide so we said goodbye. As I was struggling to cancel my appointment Dr. O calls to make sure I was able to cancel because it didn't show that I did on her side. What? Hold up, for a Dr to call you and to help you save money when you are not their patintent, is that even a thing? I was so shocked by this and was willing to just see what she might be able to assist with. After communicating with her I believe it was divine intervention because she is exactly what I needed. She made me feel validated, heard, and was able to provide encouragement that lead me to feel HOPE. Hope that I actually might be able to have a "Normal" life. Thank you Dr. O
September 20, 2022Mele K.Verified patient
Dr. O is awesome she really cares about her patients. She looks your mental & physical health. She provides ways to help with work out routines & dieting which I did not expect and is a huge bonus. She is very friendly I would highly recommend her.
September 9, 2022Christopher H.Verified patient
My experience was very comfortable. I was able to communicate my issues very easily. She was very compassionate and encouraging with my situations. She broke things down for me which helped tremendously. I would recommend her to anyone who is in need.
