Dr. Ukomadu was very thorough I'm his diagnosis and answered all my questions. He was easy to talk to. He also seemed genuinely interested in helping me (not passing medicine or surgery). A lot of doctors today don't take their time with patience our always seem to have their best interest at heart like he does.

Barely no wait, had an X-Ray right away and saw another doctor first to diagnose my issue and finally seen by Dr Ukomadu to review results of X-Ray. Nice and cordial, seems very knowledgeable. Nice ladies at the office, staff is very nice. Recommend this place.

It is not obvious when searching on Zoc Doc, but, PSA, Dr. Ukomadu is ONLY UPPER BODY.

The Doctor is lovely and no doubt good at what he does but the wait time and disorganization of the office made me think that I probably wouldn't want to get treatment here.

Barely no wait, had an X-Ray right away and saw another doctor first to diagnose my issue and finally seen by Dr Ukomadu to review results of X-Ray. Nice and cordial, seems very knowledgeable. Nice ladies at the office, staff is very nice. Recommend this place.
February 20, 2019Aurelie P.Verified patient
I was called 90 minutes after my appointment was supposed to start and was seen by his PA. The PA mixed up my left and right hands at first. He caused me needless pain due to his forgetfulness of which ways he rotated my wrist and pressed on my broken bone, then repeated the motions because he wasn't keeping track of which motions hurt me. He took very long to type up the report to order the X-ray because they don't have a form on the computer for them to fill out.
The doctor saw me after my x-ray and prescribed Physical Therapy for a broken bone. An occupational therapist at the hospital saw me and didn't know why the doctor had sent me, but decided to come up with a treatment plan anyway. I'm not going to return.

Great Doctor with a Great personality
December 19, 2018Rodney O.Verified patient
Dr. Uzoma was nice, but it was a super busy day. I had to wait for more than 2 hours to speak with the PA, then wait another 15min to speak with the doctor. While the facilities were nice, the wait time was frustratingly awful.

He was fantastic! He has such an awesome personality and explained things in way where I could understand. Would hands down recommend him!
April 4, 2018Jill R.Verified patient
I felt so secure and we'll taken of. My only complaint was being a new patient there I had to wait an awfully long time for my x-rays, however after being examed by the PA and then by Dr Ukomadu I felt assured that I came to the right place for treatment!!!! See you next year after PT. Definitely would recommend him.
