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.

Feeling good with my hair now
Dr. Okereke helped me identify what was causing my hair loss, and prescribed some medication that has helped me a lot. I highly recommend her.

I saw this dr. 2 times for alopecia. Both times doctor was in a rush. She spent about 10 mins each time. I had some questions to ask, but didn't have the opportunity. This doctor does not behave like a doctor who cares about the patient. She, one time, rescheduled my appointment to earlier time, but when I came, she seems irritating and inattentive. I accommodated her time and she was rushing. Given this fact I felt as she wanted to keep me in her schedule for numbers, but with NO CARE.

Two hours waisted.
Had an appointment with dr. Okereke today May 5,2022 for a general check up. May be she is a good doctor, but I was not given an opportunity to decide: Spent over 40 minutes sitting undressed in the examination room, but the doctor did not show up. I tried to remind the staff after 30 minutes passed, but no results. No-one was in the waiting room and the office did not appear to be very busy. Understand that there could be some delays in medical offices, but it is well above reasonable time for a fifteen minutes appointment. Just walked out of the office very frustrated and will have to find another doctor.

Didn’t ever speak to me directly-only to her assistant. Had assistant call with lab results two plus months after they were done. Never responded to emails or calls. Doesn’t care at all.
