About Dr. Omeruah
Chiazom Omeruah, DO, received her medical education at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and took a Family Practice residency at Aria Health in Langhorne, PA.
Prior to joining Emory, she practice medicine in both Pennsylvania and Alabama for several years. She moved to Georgia three years ago and worked during that time in the southern metro-Atlanta area.
Dr. Omeruah is an osteopath and family practice specialist, seeing patients from pediatrics to geriatrics. She grew up in Nigeria and speaks both English and the Igbo dialect.
Getting to the root of health problems
As an osteopath, her focus is on the body and disease process -- not just symptoms, but underlying processes that have led to those symptoms. This approach can also help prevent diseases as it points to preventive measures the patient can take.
Dr. Omeruah works with patients to determine the biological, physiological, mental and lifestyle factors that contribute to their health.
Listening carefully to every patient
When a patient has their first visit, she lets them take the lead. “Some are super-knowledgeable, very verbal and expressive about what’s going on with them,” she explains. “Some are more self-conscious, so I adapt my approach to their needs. My goal is that they each feel comfortable to tell me what’s going on.”
“It’s most important that the patient walks away feeling heard -- and helped,” says Dr. Omeruah. “I also make sure they understand the instructions I’ve given them, and if I need to make those easier, I will.”
Making changes, one step at a time
“Lifestyle changes are tricky,” she says. “Everyone’s ability is different, so it’s best to start slow, with one step at a time. And we try to make it as fun as possible. Everyone is different, so we take that into consideration.”
This is a “judgement-free zone,” says Dr. Omeruah. “It truly is, because I’m human, too, we all need help. My patients can relate to me because I admit I’m not perfect, and certainly don’t claim to be.”

Excellent
Good service
Good
I would recommend Dr.Omeruah to others
My Care Provider was very professional. My Care Provider listened very well, took hed time asked questioned, filled out documentation that I needed to be filled out, in its entirety. My Care Provider spoke with me in a nice tone, made sure. I my needs were met, by clarifying what I needed, and making sure I had what I needed. It was a great experience.
Very good
Dr. Omeruah is a very kind and understanding. She's caring and knows how to comfort and take care of my issues. Thank you Dr. O
The doctor was very thorough. She took the time to review the historical care provided by my retiring physician which gave me confidence in the provision of care moving forward.
Dr Omeruah very poor to no communication
Dr. O is an amazing primary doctor. She is very much straightforward and has a calm demeanor. She goes above and beyond for her patients to make sure that she meets our needs.
Dr. Omeriah is always there for any recommendations and concerns. I feel very comfortable when making decisions with her.
Treatment options were clear and concise. The experience was great!
Very PROFESSIONAL!
Dr O is great!
Dr. O was timely and since this was my first visit with her, she reviewed. My chart asked to clarifying questions gave very good advice about next steps, which I will take, and gave me instructions and expectations for my next visit with her. Establishing care with her was a good decision.
Dr Omeruah is excellent and very thorough. Very knowledgeable physician
Good
I truly appreciate Dr. O. She is very aware, knowledgeable, and attentive to all questions.
Outstanding job
So nice
How pleasant my experience was as the doctor was very patient, calm and listen to everything I had to say did not rush me and explained everything in detail and made recommendations and we will follow up on those recommendations as the year progresses. Very good experience so happy that I found this doctor that I called Dr. O
VERY WELL
Love Dr.O
Great
The doctor was very professional, knowledgeable and thorough... Listened to my concerns and offered advice.
Dr. O admitted to not thoroughly reviewing my chart to understand my condition prior to prescribing me gabapentin. I advised her I had negative affects with taking thos medicine to which she showed no level of empathy or concern. She only offered to have Emory assign me a new pcp with no apology or attempt to truly assist me with my health concerns.
They try to help with your probably to find a solution or reason for it that you can understand
Dr. O had no real regard for my concerns. She rushed through the appointment and prescribed me medication that had further negative effects simply because she did not review my chart to confirm what has been going on with my health. She showed no empathy with regard to my concerns with my health nor was she willing to advocate for me with declining my request to complete short term disability paperwork for me to be able to focus on my continued health concerns and a true resolution. I had to do my own research to determine the gabapentin prescribed by her was worsening my thyroid related symptoms. She did not order the appropriate xray to review my shoulder and I just met with her to make this request to which she did not offer to oblige. I am thoroughly disappointed in her lack of professionalism or consideration for me as a patient. My experience with her has caused me to waste time, money, and energy I do not have with just trying to get the proper assessment and care.
She listened!!!! That means so much to me. I have hard speaking because of my stroke.
Good
She listens well and that causes some changes in care. Thanks
LOVE YOU DR O.
VERBAL COMMUNICATION WAS ALMOST NONE. SHE JUST CLICKED ON THE COMPUTER. I TOLD HER SHE WAS MAKING ME NERVOUS BY HER SILENCE. SHE STATED THAT SHE WAS MAKING SURE SHE HAD EVERYTHING DOCUMENTED. SHE ONLY LISTENED TO MY CHEST AND CHECKED MY EARS AND TOLD ME THAT I WILL NEED BLOOD DRAWN FROM THE LAB. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PHYSICAL?
Dr Omeruah my favorite doctor. Fast and efficient. Very concerned about your entire health physical and emotional. Easy to talk with. Questions about your family. Nice touch.
We had a very good conversation
Good
I am sure Dr. Omeruah was having a long day and she was obviously already running behind. But during our entire interaction, she treated me like a list to be checked off, not a person to be listened to. I had a terrible head cold and was missing work to make this appointment, and after waiting 30+ minutes for the doctor after the nurse left, the doctor walked into the exam room, went right to her computer screen, and robotically asked me the same questions the nurse had. All without so much as making eye contact. My wife and I then had to remind her of basic facts about my case that we'd already gone over, before finally getting the prescriptions I needed.
Kudos to Dr O. She shows concern for the wellbeing of her patients. I have been seeing Dr. O for some time now. I wouldn't replace her at all.
Dr seems to be overwhelmed and going through her routine.
I felt rushed during my visit. The doctor didn't take the time to fully listen & address my concerns. My appointment was a waist of my time & co pay.
Exceptional

Dr. Omeruah is the best.
My DO was great. I received a print pit of the after care which had very technical language, I didn't quite understand. I troed to look it up, but would like her to let me know whether I understand her instructions properly. A Tornado cleared out the administrative staff, so I wasn't able to schedule my follow-up in 2 weeks and or appointments for my referrals specialists like the eye doctor for visiom test and updated prescription for new glasses.
The doctor was excellent!

Take forever to answer messages, no explanation for decision
I don't like that I still don't understand my results. Called twice and doctor still hasn't called me. What's the point in putting results in my chart if patient cant understand them?

Dr. Omeruah showed great concern for me and the issue that Km dealing with regarding the loss of my dear mother. She told me to take time to heal and that grief is natural & expected. She went over my medications, asked me about changes and concerns. Dr. Omeruah is very thorough. That gives me comfort that my health is being monitored by a concerned doctor.
Thank you Dr O
This was my second visit with Dr. O. She was a little more relax this time around, but I am issues with my back and right leg. She gave me medication for my pain without understanding the cause. I had a recent MRI done and no questions about the study. It was an okay visit, because she made me aware that Diclofenac Sodium could be purchase over the counter.

Very Very good
This was my first time seeing this provide and I was very pleased, with her knowledge and concerns about the issues that I was there to see her about.
Dr. O is one in a million. She's interactive, a great listener, personable and kind.
Dr.O has no bed side manner. She never looks at you when discussing your health issues. She is constantly typing while talking to you. Guess I am accustomed to face to face interaction with my doctors.
One of the BEST doctors I know!! Dr Omeruah's bed side manners are amazing and her patient care is top tier. I was not feeling my best and she got right down to the problem now I'm feeling so much better. You have a patient for life.
