Patient Reviews
Feb 18, 2023
Dr. Okwu is a very good doctor. She was very thorough and took her time accessing my daughter’s care. She provided insightful information to help my daughter who has been suffering for years with gastrointestinal issues and other underlining conditions that my daughter has been dealing with for awhile. I would definitely refer her to others any time. She is caring and kind.
