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.

I've seen many, many practitioners over the years, Dr. Nwogu is above all else in all categories for sure !

Dr Nwogu is the best of the best. He and the staff at Roswell Cancer Institute personify professionalism. They communicate in language a layman can understand without talking down. I my humble opinion he is the best option for thoracic care.

He explained everything to me so that I could understand. I saw him only once, on 12/18/20. I wish that I could have an earlier surgical date. Waiting until the end of January or even into February is difficult. I trust Dr. Nwogu.
