She was simply looking for a payout or insurance charge . Wanted to give me other services for medical diagnoses I’ve already had my entire life …. Wasted my time and money . Saw a male psychiatrist the day after and it was completely different and I am being treated

It was a great visit from a doctor's appointment
Our Initial visit went well... although I've been having lots of difficulties adjusting to the meds I was prescribed, and I was texting her looking for insight and she just flat out ignored me for the past 5 days leaving me filled with horrible anxiety and insomnia and that's the whole reason I saw her in the first place! These docs are very expensive to leave you with NO support! Beyond disappointed!!!!

I know I have made a great decision in choosing her as my psychiatrist. She made me feel comfortable, took the time to listen to me on how I feel and showed that she really cared. She was not pushy on anything. I was able to open up about some things that I put away in the back of my mind and hadn't talked about in years and so glad that I was able to. I have seen other psychiatrist before but have never had the professionalism and understanding that she gives. To put it simply, She rock's and I look forward to my next appointment.

Ms. Ugochi was very attentive, helpful, listened to my needs and was very thorough when determining the best treatment. She also provided different options to choose from.
Outstanding first visit. Her friendly manner and professionalism instilled confidence in me that I had chosen the right psychiatrist. After talking about my problems, I felt like she really wanted to come up with a treatment plan that would work best fo me with my personal struggles. She actually listened to me and took everything into account to get me on the right medication. I look forward to my next appointment as I learned that I can be upfront ad honest with her that she brought out to in me.
I felt very misunderstood and undermined by Ms. Nwaobi. She downplayed my experiences with anxiety and depression and spoke in a way that made me feel stupid about it. My appointment had nothing to do with my past medical history of anxiety and depression and I told her I was in a good place with these diagnoses and that I was not there to talk about that. My appointment was to discuss my symptoms of ADHD to which she stated, "That's the new thing now, everyone thinks they have ADHD". This was a completely disturbing and unprofessional statement, and I wish I had just ended the appointment there. She continued on that she was not going to give me Adderall, something I had never brought up or asked for. She lumped me into her biases and made the assumption that all I wanted was a Rx for Adderall. She was not interested in talking about my symptoms and she seemed irritated to be talking to me at all. I would not recommend Ms. Nwaobi nor see her for any sort of guidance in the future.
