The office staff is very compassionate and got us in to see Dr. O. Ekweani. He immediately evaluated my wife and was able to handle her rare disease. His extensive medical knowledge allows Dr. Ekweani to now treat us as patients, which now gives us confidence and peace of mind. Truly a team effort. It was very refreshing to be in this type of atmosphere.

Very disrespectful Doctor, long wait time and bad communication. This was my first time to this office. I was scheduled for a routine physical at a time that they "don't do physicals", meaning that I would have to return at a later date for bloodwork, but they would at least be able to refill my medication that day. I was told this only after I had already been waiting in the office over an hour. When I brought the scheduling error and wait time up to the doctor, he told me that he doesn't like when people bring up the wait time to him. He prescribed my medication and authorized one refill, in order to "give me enough time to find another doctor". NOT KIDDING. It was a very frustrating experience.

after over an hour wait and fighting that my insurance was valid, i spent a total of 3 hours in the office. They said they would send my prescriptions to my pharmacy and they would be ready when i got there. They didnt send them. Took another 2 hours to get my prescriptions and then they only sent 2/3. Took another full day and a trip to my previous doctor to fax over forms to get my 3rd prescription. INCOMPETANT
If you have awesome insurance, go here. Otherwise you might have a little out of pocket expense. I say this because as a 1st time patient you will be put through all sorts of tests, x-rays, and bloodwork above and beyond what other offices require. Though possibly expensive, you will leave knowing if there is ANYTHING wrong asap!
Very Professional. Thank you very much.

This doctor seemed bothered to have to see me, didn't listen to me, and never explained why he was prescribing me a certain drug. I was very disappointed by this doctor. The staff was disorganized and actually handed by prescriptions to another patient by mistake ( a violation of privacy )
Professional MD, unprofessional staff. Was taken to an examination room and instructed to undress. Within a few minutes was told to relocate to another examination room while dressed in a paper gown. Staff did not offer to assist me. While in the second examination room, a second staff member walked in looking for her cell phone. Most unprofessional experience I've ever had at a doctor's office.
Verified patient
Was impressed with his demeaner: not arrogant, good listener, interested in the patient and their input, anxious to help, easy to talk to,made me feel at ease, showed respect for the patient, did not seem so preoccupied about money. I liked him and look forward to working with him. My previous primary-care physician treated me like a dumb animal who knew absolutely nothing, was a very poor listener, had no use for a patients input, only needed lab reports to make his recommendations, was extremely controlling and arrogant. I left every visit angry and dissatisfied and finally made the decision to leave him and seek a physician who could control his ego and be of more help to the patient. L.B. Waymack, BS,MS, PhD, Dipl.
