5 years agoDr. Okereke has been a godsend to my father and family. He was able to keep my father around much longer than expected while battling cancer. He is very personable, empathetic, to the point, and gets done what needs to be done. He is very informative of what is going on, how long things will take, and the possible outcomes that may come up. He has done 4 surgeries on my father since Dec 2017. I would recommend this man over and over again. Thank you for being a great surgeon and person!
