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.

Very caring doctor who takes the time to explain what’s going on. Cares about his patients. Saved me from open heart surgery by making sure I understood what is going on.

Excellent Cardiologist
I was rushed to the ER where Dr. Arthur OKere saved my life. I was suffering a massive heart attack where Dr. OKere quickly and accurately did everything to save my life. I found the best Cardiologist when I found Dr. OKere. He has an outstanding bedside manner where he shows just how much he really cares about his patients. He thoroughly answered all my questions and fully explained in detail, my medications and the procedures he was doing. If you want an outstanding Cardiologist, look no further because Dr. Arthur OKere is the one.

Amazing cardiologist
Dr Okere is an outstanding diagnostician. He is an excellent listener and allows you to be part of your health plan. I have always been able to reach out to him with any concerns I've had in regards to my mom and dads care. He continues to take amazing care of my husband and daughter. Being a health care professional myself I have high standards when it comes to a doctors care. If I ever need a cardiologist he would be the first one I would see!

Dr. Okere is an Outstanding Physician.
I saw Dr. Okere today for the first time, after a hospitalization. He was extremely professional and so easy to talk to. I never felt rushed. He took his time to listen to my concerns and explained his plans for me in detail. I felt extremely confident in Dr. Okere skills as my Cardiologist. He was extremely knowledgeable. I have been in the medical field for the majority of my life and work with physicians everyday. I am blessed to have found him to participate in my care. I would highly recommend Dr. Okere without hesitation.

The Best
I have known Dr. Okere for 8 years. He is a caring and technically proficient Physician who probably saved my life because of his diagnosis and treatment of several blocked arteries of my heart. He always takes whatever time is needed to answer any question or explain a procedure or the results of a procedure . He responds in a timely manner and works to see his patients are taken care of. I can recommend him without reservation.

Life changing expertise and true patient care
I thank Dr. Okere for getting my heart health back on track after several severe episodes of HBP sent me to the ER. Part of my HBP issues were hereditary and the other was high threat environments in and out of country. Then recalls of medicine and locating the correct medicine through me out of wack. He persuaded me to get admitted immediately and went to work. After three days he got me stabilized. It wasn’t good. Dr. Okere, aggressively chased down the correct medical resolution while simultaneously making sure no stone went unturned for any other root causes. Four years later, at 60 years, I have been able to get in peak condition and trek to Mt. Everest Base Camp and summited a 20,000 ft peak. I stay on top of my appointments and he is always eager to spend time during the appointments and never rushes. He is extremely personable and I consider him my professional friend.Dr. Okere provided my mother-in-law with excellent care. He has earned my trust as a doctor.

Dr. Okere saved my life multiple times.
I suffered a widowmaker heart attack in December of 2016. When I got to the emergency room, as the story goes, they were filling out my death certificate. Apparently the flatline turned into a code on the way there due to the efforts of the EMTs. I went down again after arriving. Again it was decided that perhaps it would be best, due to having no pulse for so long, that they let nature take its course. Dr. Okere, as the story goes, angered the entire staff by refusing the decision. I'm writing this review so guess who got the call right. He got every call right, like getting an internal defibrillator. I felt it was overkill. It saved my life 3 times. He advised I get on the transplant list. I didn't take him seriously. By autumn of 2022 I was in the final stage of heart failure. In May of 2023 I got my transplant. I'm reborn. There were many calls and texts over the years. Dr. Okere never went a day without getting back to me. There is more but I've hit the max word count.

Top notch Doctor
I was having a heart attack about 1:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning. In the emergency room they were having a problem confirming it. Every time a new EKG was taken more people showed up. They notified doctor Okere ot the situation when he arrived in my room. He was very comforting explaining everything that was going on. When he had a chance he even comforted my living girlfriend. Which I don't believe many doctors would do. I ended up getting four stents that night. And before I was discharged he gave me a direct cell number and I have used it. Within that day he does answer me. That is just unheard of today. Every follow up visit since then. Is very thorough he listens and provides answers. He does not push medications unless they are absolutely necessary. Some of the medications I was on. I had concerns with. And we were able to work through them. Either by changing them or removing them. I believe he's one of the best cardiologists that you could have.
