Both the doctor and his assistant were very rude. Both made me feel like I was a bad person and told me unless I lost 77 lbs the doctor would not be willing to even think about helping me with my back issues. Was told to schedule for 6 months and in that time I was to go to rehab to lose weight and quit smoking. And before I left assistant told me if I didn't lose the weight to not even bother keeping the appointment in 6 months. That I would be wasting their time. Worst experience ever!!!!!!

I had cervical spine surgery by Dr Okonkwo. He fused C-4 to C-6. Fantastic job!!! I first saw him several years earlier and was very impressed with him. He never pushed for surgery at all. Was very open about what he would do if it was his friends or family. He told me why to wait and I did. After 3 years I did the surgery and waiting was the right thing to do. He was able to do everything in one surgery instead of having two. He was always friendly & laughing. His P.A.'s are wonderful!!!

Dr. O is top notch! His expertise and personality are amazing! He is the reason that my husband walks! When I started experiencing issues with my neck, there wasn't a doubt about who my surgeon would be. Seems like some wouldn't be happy if Jesus himself did their procedure. Definitely worth your time to see Dr. O!

Dr. Okonkwo took time and explained my condition well. He made several recommendations and did not try to influence my decisions with his bias. He did not push surgery. His PA, Lauren, was delightful, caring and seemed very knowledgeable. I was taken on time for my appointment. I was in the office more than 2 hours but was receiving care during that time.

I have already shared Dr. Okonkwo's name with other individuals. I have nothing but high praise for his skill and professional manner. I would imagine that those who doctor shop with imaginary ailments wouldn't appreciate him from a comment I had read, but this doctor is topnotch.

Ghastly bedside manor - STAY AWAY. Saw for possible Schuermann's disease diagnosis of my back lump between 2013-2014. Directly insulted me verbally, stating my pains are from my weight and that he did not believe my symptoms. Stated nothing medically wrong with me. Insulted my wife, and went so far as to blacklist me from seeing other neurologists in his group - was told by his receptionist I was wasting his time. Will never go here again.
