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.

Office management lacking
My mom has been a patient for 15 yrs with Dr Ukwade. Now that she has dementia, I have stepped in as POA for her care. We have been left waiting hours for an appointment, no follow up. Final straw was calling because my mom was suffering from vertigo and not one person called me back. If they don’t have time to return calls, they don’t have time to care for their patients

My husband and I have gone to Dr. Ukwade for years and she provides excellent, caring medical help. There’s not enough space to describe all the reasons we value her expertise as we do but one important one is how, several years ago, she heard something when listening to my husband’s heart and immediately referred him to an excellent specialist and he had life-saving surgery.

My father was a physician so I have a high degree of expectations. I would gladly refer Dr. Ukwade to any friends or family. She is extremely talented and communicates better than any physician I've ever dealt with. I'm glad I found her.

If you're unwilling to have a Sleep Study needed or not expect surprises Expect to be lied to, expect your ins carrier to be told half truths & lies. File formal complaints Stay away from this office!
