Patient Reviews
James M.
Dr. Okonkwo was incredibly thorough. She explained my echocardiogram results in plain English, gave me a clear action plan, and followed up with a detailed written summary. Best cardiologist consult I have had.
Fatima A.
She speaks French too which was a relief. Very professional and warm. She took time to understand my family history before making any recommendations.
Nkechi O.
I had concerns about a racing heart. Dr. Okonkwo ruled out anything serious and gave me evidence-based lifestyle advice. Very reassuring.
David L.
Excellent consultation. The booking process was seamless. Slight delay at the start but she more than made up for it with the quality of the consultation.
Sarah K.
Dr. Okonkwo is the most empathetic doctor I have seen online or in person. She ordered the right tests immediately and explained everything clearly.
