We have seen Dr Nwokolo for about 10 years probably or more. I don’t know if my husband would still be here if he wasn’t our doctor. We just love him. He is knowledgeable and very kind!!

Review for Dr. Nwokolo

First visit, and Dr. Baba's staff and his interactions are amazing! He was very patient and he drew diagrams and explained everything very well.

Review for Dr. Baba

He is very proactive in his practice. His nurse called me on a Monday and said Dr. Nwokolo wanted to see me urgently. I was able to get in the next day and he referred me to an electrophysiologist, who I've seen twice. He is on top of my cardiac care.

Review for Dr. Nwokolo

ZERO bedside manner. This guy is garbage and needs removed from the healthcare system. Old mind needs to be replaced. Zero compassion, zero bedside manner, zero concern for the patient and threatened to just have my fiancé discharged because she was writhing in pain and could barely speak and wasn’t...
