“I was very skeptical about finding a new Dr online & almost cancelled at the last second. I'm so glad I didn't. In one appt I could tell Dr. Nwakudu is knowledgeable, experienced, & understands mental health is not one size fits all. He listened, never cut me off & didn't rush. Every response was given with a gentle voice & kind smile. I never felt like I was someone who was just filling a time slot for cash, which was my biggest worry finding a new Dr through telehealth, but it felt like I was sitting in his office with him & that was appreciated probably more than he knows. I can't thank him enough for being everything I was looking for in a Dr! Like I already told him towards the end of our appt......he's now stuck with me for the long haul! I definitely recommend seeing Dr. Nwakudu if you're searching for a new provider!”

“We did a telecast appointment and it went very well. Felt like I was talking to a friend; but a friend who could actually assist me in making my life better and being the best version of myself.”

The doctor was jovial and nice and not quick to judge . Telehealth made it challenging to hear him clearly when he spoke
