Amaka was really easy to talk to and I felt like she listened to my concerns. I do feel, however, that she was a bit too casual and did make some remarks that were a bit uncomfortable but there was absolutely no ill-intent there.
Verified patient
Dr. Orji was incredibly funny and honest. The wait time was super short and I felt accepted into the space and comfortable with talking to her. Although she’s not a therapist she wasn’t in a rush to pass me off to someone else. Instead she scheduled a time for us to meet again and create a strategy. She was patient and walked me through the process of finding a good therapist which was refreshing. Thanks so much for seeing me!

More about Uzoamaka (Amaka) Orji, NP

Hello there, I am looking forward to working with you. I have several years of experience working in community mental health. While my primary role is medication management, I try to incorporate psychotherapy when treating mental health disorders. My skill set focuses on major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and ADHD. I encourage you to approach your mental health holistically and think outside the box. I earned my Master's in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from the University of Pennsylvania and my Bachelor's degree from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. I love to perform and have a great sense of humor-ask any of my coworkers. If this is the care you are searching for, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Amaka is clinical but kind of fun about it. I waited for maybe 3 minutes before she saw me, she was professional, asked questions and took notes, and her approach to diagnosing and finding a medication made me feel empowered, in the sense that I felt like I had a major hand in helping her choose the right treatment for *me*. She answered my questions and made sure I understood side effects, etc.
Amaka is terrific, very easy to talk with about even difficult topics, and provides a genuine, non-fluffy perspective that is helpful, applicable and never condescending. I very much appreciate her honest approach and lack of pretense, and my appointments with her have consistently been helpful, and never feel like we are re-enacting a 'therapy couch scene' from a bad movie. Thanks Amaka!
Overall experience was great - I saw her within ten minutes of arriving and checking in and she made me feel super comfortable. The appointment was super efficient and I enjoyed talking to her!
Verified patient
Awesome visit. Efficient and kind!
Verified patient
I had a wonderful experience with Amaka. My appointment was through Doxy.me which was very convenient with my work schedule. Because of this there was no wait time and I was seen right away on time. Aside from the convenience of my appointment, I was so happy to finally find a psych doctor who I felt comfortable with and who was able to laugh with me. Amaka is incredibly charming, helpful and thorough in her approach and I absolutely recommend her!
Verified patient
Super nice and caring!
Verified patient
She really heard me and understood even what I was not saying. I have been struggling and she was my voice and advocate. I felt relieved to have found a professional but also a voice.
Very helpful, understanding, puts you at ease.
