Everything was well taken care of.?

I would recommend everyone who wants the best healthcare services to schedule a appointment

The team was very professional

Very Happy!!

Dr Ugbo was very encouraging and was helpful with the schedule for my following appointments.

Dr. Louis Ugbo explained everything that was going on with my toes and my feet. He shared my x-rays with me and drew on the copy of the x-ray explaining what was happening to my toes and the bottom of my feet. He even showed me stretch exercises during my visit that helped almost immediately. He helped me understand the shoes and inserts I need.

I really appreciated the time the doctor spent reviewing my test results.

Very open to my questions

Dr Ugbo is a great doctor. Attentive and kind and good at explaining.

Dr Ugbo is so personable and explains everything in a way I understand. He has fixed my broken foot and I have been discharged. He did tell me if I need anything or had any questions to send a message and he will call me.

Took the time to explain medical eval in detail.

Both the resident and Dr Ugbo were truly outstanding! They both were very knowledgable, professional, and yet warm and caring! They answered every question, did not rush thru my visit, and greatly reduced my anxiety. Highly recommend this team!

Good person and MD.

Providers answered all questions in a manner that was easily understandable to me

Good experience

Good

He was great.

Dr Ugbo took the time to explain the problem and solution. He is a very kind person.

Doctor was knowledgeable and advice on what to do

I have already referred Sr. Ugbo to 2 contacts! He is a fantastic MD on all levels!

Dr. Ugbo was beyond wonderful, a 12 out of 10. He was patient, kind, obviously knowledgeable, and communicated well, even with Mom who has dementia.

I'm well satisfied with my care!!

Dr Ugbo is a very thorough doctor and very knowledgeable and professional.

Excellent doctor - very patient. Shared a lot of 8nfo I had not heard from other "experts" such as root cause of my midfoot arthritis

Dr. Ugbo understood that I value fitness and am trying to get back in shape. He encouraged me to follow a good time line of rest, immobilization, and eventual weaning off immobilization in order to return to active status.

It dosen't get better than Dr. Ugbo, from his expertise to how he cares for his patients to his humanitarian efforts, he should be up for Sainthood!

Dr. Ugbo is a very intelligent, knowledgeable, caring physician. He went over the MRI impeccably

The education the doctor gave me concerning my situation was very inclusive, empowering; doctor's professionalism of engaging me in interaction was beyond expectation. Thank you for having him on "your staff" - don't let him get away.

Dr. Ugbo is the absolute best- I would refer him to any and everyone

Dr. Ugbo is wonderful and always listens carefully to my concerns.

Doc Ugbo has helped me trust not only the VA healthcare system, but the Emory system as well.

"Very good" does not seem adequate - more like "excellent."

Dr. Ugbo is the greatest

Good experience

All of the above plus Dr. Louis-Updo was supportive and understanding. HIs reassurancing tone gave me confidence that everything will be ok. I am glade that I was able to see him for this medical issue.

Dr. Ugbo is wonderful. I wish he was at Emory full time.

Excellent experience.

I just get the feeling that Dr Ugbo is one of the nicest humans I have ever met. He is always so warm and kind. He explained the issue I am having with my feet to me in great detail, and then he actually recommended against have a surgical procedure. It is rare that you find a surgeon that does NOT recommend surgery. That tells me he has my best interests in mind, which I greatly appreciate! I felt he empathized with my struggle with chronic pain with my feet.

I would recommend Dr. And other staff that this is the place you need go.

Dr. Ugbo is the best! I had some concerns on this visit, and he patiently addressed them with explanations that reassured me all is well.

I was extremely pleased with everyone I saw.

Dr. Ugbo is very personable and excellent at explaining the care plan and next steps.
