My experience here was wonderful. The front desk was amazing both days I went for a last minute appointment and they were accommodating and squeezed me in. I highly recommend this practice, everyone there was so kind. They were very busy and still made time for each patient.

April 11, 2019Nylisha J.Verified patient
I would NEVER recommend this office primarily because of the receptionist but also due to the persistent incompetence I’ve experienced twice with her. TWICE I have booked appointments with this office and both times they were inaccurately posted. The first time I booked for a time the office said they were not open, however the appointment time was on ZocDoc. The second time I was sent the wrong one five address. Both times the receptionist was extremely rude and unprofessional in her demeanor. I cannot imagine how this doctor had any clients with such a lowly receptionist and operations. Unacceptable and embarrassing.

The nurse Porsha was so kind and very gentle with our baby. Dr. Onyinye was an absolute pleasure my daughter actually reached out to her as soon as she came in the room. I am very happy with the decision I made in picking my daughter’s doctor.
May 1, 2024Taylor M.Verified patient
Our experience was pleasant, although there were moments where it did feel chaotic. I also didn’t feel things were explained comprehensively (in particular vaccine info) and I left feeling confused about this. However, the doctor was great with my daughter and seemed to do a thorough physical assessment.

Dr. O is amazing! My children have been entrusted to her practice for years! She has the best bedside manner and wonderful way of speaking with patients and the parents! I recommend ANP all the time and will continue to do so!
November 7, 2023Lara A.Verified patient
The staff was very friendly, they took the time to look into my insurance to make sure everything was good to go before I was seen.
May 14, 2023Gianna C.Verified patient
When I was reading some of the reviews I was very skeptical but since she was the only one available on Saturday I didn’t have another option. She called me prior to the appointment and asked me to send her my ID and insurance card in order to get everything ready. My daughter and I went to the appointment this morning and we were positively impressed. The office was clean and the nurse and the doctor were really nice and supportive. The doctor is very knowledgeable and is really nice.
October 8, 2022Kadidiatou B.Verified patient
Doctor was exceptional, so kind beside manner, always polite and he cured my daughter.
The main bad experience we had was with the woman who works at the front desk.
As soon as we arrive she didn’t even said hi to us and when I kindly asked her for a mask she yelled at me saying “one dollar”. A patient next to me was more kind than her and gave me a mask from her purse.
Then when I said that my daughter is new patient she yelled at me saying “ I don’t care”
When I confronted her about her attitude she tried to changed her manner and try to be polite bc she knew I was about to complain with someone else. Otherwise she would have had the same attitude with me and other patients. Yelling at me in front of my daughter and in front to other patients who were there. I felt discriminated bc I am Latina and seemed that she didn’t have any respect o thinks that is easy to be disrespectful with a Latina mother, I’m sure she doesn’t treat like this to a white mother!
Worst experience ever! That person should be removed of that office because ruins all the good work and good experience the nurse practitioner can give to the patients and she definitely shouldn’t work at customer service job.

Mr. Abraham the NRP was very friendly and professional yet once again I am not seen by the doctor and not informed about it before hand. Other than that everythimg was great.

Very friendly and understanding and always lends a listening ear to my questions and concerns and makes sure that my voice feels heard. Works with my families schedule and always calls when there updates to care or my children's health. Couldn't ask for a better provider in my local area.

The charges from this MD is just ridiculous! The receptionist weren’t professional. I waited a while while they were gossiping. The NP was satisfactory, but I would never come back nor recommend this office to anyone.

I was left waiting in a room for over an hour. The office is compact, which is not really a problem, however with the the congestion of the rooms, the biohazard box (which was literally overflowing) should be emptied more often. I could’ve quite literally taken a few syringes out of the biohazard box. Dr. Onyekweres communication was also exceptionally lax. The only comments she made, regarding my child, were answers to my questions.

We were seen right away by several nurse practitioners and staff at the office. The attention was the best I’ve seen and had in a long time. I am happy to switch my children to Dr. Onyekwere and her medical team. It was an excellent first visit and they all paid attention to my concerns and gave us really good information.

Excellent provider. My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Onyekwere for the last 5 years and our experience has been exceptional. Dr. O takes time to talk to my child during doctor appts and always goes the extra mile, naturally. I highly recommend her office for pediatric care.

The doctor and staff was pleasant and professional. The only thing I was not too happy about was the number of nurses/medical assistants in and out of the patient room. It was a bit overwhelming to have 5-6 people in and out of the room while I was trying to talk to the doctor about my concerns. Overall, I like the doc and staff for my child's PCP.
