Patient Reviews
Jun 05, 2024
Dr. Okafor did a total hip replacement that changed my life. I was nearly immobile with a hip destroyed by arthritis. One month later , I have my life, mobility, and confidence back. I feel 20 years younger . The entire staff was outstanding. You will not be sorry to use Dr. Okafor for your orthopedic surgery.
