“I could not recommend Nneka Mbadiwe more! I've gone to a few different psychiatrists over the years, but Nneka was one of the first that really listened, asked follow up questions, and spoke through all options (pros, cons, etc.). Working with her for the past 3-months has been a joy and I'm happy to finally have found someone who cares! ”

“I have seen multiple mental health providers over the years who weren’t great— some were rude and dismissive of my complaints, some rushed to conclusions and were hasty to over-medicate, some just didn’t know what they were doing. My experience with NP Mbadiwe was amazing. She took a long time to ask about my symptoms, medical history, family life, etc to gain a clear understanding of my situation. She appears to have a thorough understanding of medications and treatments. Above all, she was empathic and caring. I look forward to working with her more. ”

Met with this doctor on April 8 and was told my prescription was sent to the pharmacy. It’s April 17 and the pharmacy says they still have not received it. Don’t use this service if you need your medication in any timely manner.

July 9, 2025Candice J.Verified patientVideo visit
I am an international student, so I'm not fluent in English and I was also struggling with my medications. But she explained everything very clearly for me, which I appreciated. I had been taking the same medications for a long time, but she told me a new way to take them, and my symptoms improved significantly. I plan to continue seeing her in the future!

Nneka Mbadiwe was very reassuring and supportive during our call. She was clear, compassionate, and concise. I felt safe to speak honestly and feel hopeful that I am on the path to healing.

Ms. Nneka is wonderful. She is down to earth, and ACTUALLY cares about her patients! I had a doctor for several years who was just THROWING medication at me - zombifying me. I was on multiple pills. Because of this wonderful woman - I am now going down to as little as possible as far as meds. She is HONEST, empathetic, patient, and an absolute sweetheart!!! I recommend her 100 times over and if you are weary of doctors/have anxieties - Ms. Nneka will go BEYOND to accomodate you and fight for you as a patient!

Nneka made me feel comfortable and seen. She has remarkable energy and a very affirming way of listening. She also had good, appropriate humor. I look forward to seeing her again.
More than 1 year agoSarah S.Verified patientVideo visit
Such a wonderful, thorough woman with so much knowledge. So appreciative of her ability to listen and take what I say into consideration immediately and provide solutions and suggestions super specific to my needs. Medication and medication side effects were gone through in depth, and she was able to answer any questions I had about possible interactions with my current medication. Both times meeting with her she has been on time and also early which I appreciated as I have poor experiences with psychiatric doctors missing/forgetting scheduled appointments. Follow up appointments were offered and easy to schedule around my work/personal schedule. Will 1000% continue meeting with her.
March 18, 2025jonni M.Verified patientVideo visit
Yes I would and highly recommend it
February 26, 2025Robert M.Verified patientVideo visit
Everything was really excellent and straight forward. I am really grateful she was able to get me in, and help me with my medication! Will be scheduling again:)

I am so grateful for my appointment with Nneka- she was very thorough in her questions, and was very patient in her listening. I feel like she truly had good intentions to help me find the right kind of solutions to aid my ongoing health-journey. I really appreciate her approach to care, and how she is empathetic yet scientific.

Nneka was exactly what I was looking for in a psychiatrist: thorough, inquisitive, and clinical. We did have connection issues during our appointment but Nneka powered through and provided the info I was looking for and listened through my experience with care.
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
Doctor Nneka is very very kind and friendly. She carefully listened to all my pains and stories with full patience and kindness. We talked over time so I was nervous but she didn’t charge me and carefully kept listening and helping me. Her medication management is very helpful. I highly recommend Doctor Nneka. She’s the best.
