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.

Amazing service
This is the best Doctor I have seen in all my life. He has been of great help to me and my family. God will bless him for all that he has done for us and his patients. He showed much care and compassion with a knowledgeable approach to our treatment and this has helped us to heal and grow.

I had to wait forever to be seen. His office is hot, stuffy, smells, and is nasty. There is not any water to drink. He does not follow Covid protocols. He is very superficial, smiley, laughs, and gives you what you want. Nothing of substance is done during the visit other than getting the drugs. If you want Suboxone this is the place to go. He does not care, he gives it out. Usually don't even have to go in, he just gets someone to send in the prescription.

Dr. Nwedo pays attention to my current issues. My problems are not overlooked, overtalked. He really is there to help you with your issues! I'm not just another face, Dr.Newdo cares about my addiction. He does not define me by it.. It has made a difference in the way I feel about doctors and the whole process..

Takes weeks for a PA to get done. Hard to get someone to answer the phone. Best time to call is in the morning!!! Dr is great however, he needs to learn how to get PAs done in a timely manner. Going on week 5 waiting for a PA on a new med he wants me to try. Needs to hire help at new office ASAP

He was concerned, compassionate, caring and listened to not just patient but family as well. Even though patient files were marked & all attempts were made he still did not get word that his patients were in patient or even at crisis center. I dont blame him, I blame who he worked for. They are responsible for any stars 3 & under. I'm glad he is now setting up private practice I just hope this patient can hold out for him. Prayers are appreciated & grateful
