Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I had a scheduled procedure at the hospital. On the day of the procedure he was already running behind, then two emergencies came in which ha me waiting even more time. I angrily gave him and his staff a piece of my mind and left after being there SIX hours!!!! He rescheduled me and switched to a different hospital without telling me. Finally, got to the correct hospital in time for a 10 minute procedure. His staff was rude and confusing. I will NOT BE RETURNING!!!

When I saw him 5 years ago, he was thorough. The medical staff was efficient. On the other hand, the front-office personnel was sloppy and the wait was long.

On 4/4/18 my original appointment time was 3:15, I was called several times asking me to come in early. I get there at 1:00 only to not be checked in until 2:30. After being rudely spoken to and waiting 5 hours to be seen, Dr. Okolo comes in pretends to exam me for 7 minutes tellinme I've had a stomachache and heart palpitations for 3 weeks because I'm hungry. Gives me a prescription for pain meds, and antacid and tells me to come back in 3 weeks. If you are sick this isn't the physician for you

After being scheduled for a procedure at the hospital.. The office told me to arrive 2 hours before my appointment in which it was scheduled at 10am. We arrived at the hospital at 8am. By 12 noon the nurse informed me after asking for my doctor. He wasn’t there nor did he return the call back to the hospital or the office. After no call no show the best option for me was to leave not knowing when my doctor was going to come to complete my procedure.....No call saying running late nothing. Saddd

I called to a few new gastroenterologist as I experienced a flare up (which constituted in a emergency appointment). After waiting 2 hours and not being seen, I asked the nurse how much longer it would tak before th dr. came in to see me. She advised me he was in a meeting to hire a new person and would be right out. I was very disappointed to hear this as there were quite a few people after me waiting to be seen. I will never go back to this office or recommend.
