Very competent, very encouraging
I had a great conversation with my doctor
Nurse Obi is great! She took time to answer any question we had, took time to explain, pulled up past imaging/current imaging to show progress etc. She is great!
Could not have asked for better!
Obiageli Okonkwo, NP is an excellent Provider, very knowledgeable, very good listener, was very responsive to all my questions and concerns and forwarded me to the next appropriate areas to get my services and equipment needs rendered.
Very good visit I had
Obiageli Okonkwo, Nurse Practitioner, was phenomenal. She listened carefully, was compassionate, and fully understood the medical limitations related to my surgery.
Okonkwo, Obiageli, NP was very attentive, listened carefully, and clearly answered my questions. She also took time to provide a before and after comparison of my progress and was enthusiastic for my progress. Great work and care! Thank you and much appreciated!
I would not recommend her to my worst enemy. She has horrible bedside manner. Was hear me but not actually listening or helping I any kind of way. Drove 30 minutes in thw pouring rain to get no help.
I was given options I had no clue. They explained in detail the difference and helped me make a decision
Obi was careful and comprehensive in discussing my symptoms and setting up a plan of care. I was completely satisfied with her exam and evaluation.
Provided great explanations and calmed my apprehensions
Very knowledgeable
She was awesome
Listened to my concerns and comments
Another excellent experience. She was very professional, calming, kept me well informed, excellent at listening as I described my symptoms, and addressed all my questions and concerns. Also, have me a detailed care plan.
I was and still amazed at the care , explanations , and directions I was given , leaving me with complete understanding
Obiageli was very professional.
Obi was exceptionally attentive and seemed genuinely concerned and conscientious about my condition/treatment, and I learned useful information from her.
Excellent experience
The provider was 8 minutes late to the thelehealth, where I waited at work. I logged out and left my office for the day 12 minutes after the scheduled appointment time the provider sends me another link to log in. I do. She tells me that she saw where I logged in and then logged out. I told her because she was late to the call. By this time I'm driving home from work and she tells me that she can not perform the appointment because it's a safety Rick. So I did not get any information
NP Obi went above and beyond. She was a real blessing: so thorough and clever, guiding through my care options
Good.
NP provided step by step notice to me before any actions she took or explanations.
Good
The overall experience was positive.
Excellent, thorough conference about my issue. This is the first provider who gave me hope in months. Plus superb, immediate follow up the next day. A caring clinician! Thank you!!!!
She was really wonderful very professional very nice person
Obi was an exemplary example of Emory's reputation.
Good
This visit was the third time meeting with the provider. I can't heap enough praise on her for hone well done.
Good
My MRI scans were not requested from NGPG so she was not able to look at and give me any options
All good!
I thoroughly appreciates the manner the discussion was handled of my care
Dr. Obi offered ways to relieve pain without drugs (my req) and physical therapy options. She offered mobility aids and options for my future. She's very caring and patient and I know she has my well being and future in mind with her every recommendation. I'm very happy to have her on my healthcare team!
Great PA.
I was extremely pleased with my visit. The NP was very thorough in her explanation's of everything. She asked me many times if I had questions and answered the ones I had. She was very patient and took time making sure that I understood everything before I left.
I'm having my fourth surgery with Dr. Ahmad and I wouldn't trust anybody else to operate on my spine. I also think highly of his Nurse Practitioners as well.
NP was outstanding!
Obi is a fantastic practitioner. She was very gentle while removing all of my staples. She seemed genuinely concerned about my pain and an inflamed area on my abdomen. She brought the doctor in to take a look and both OB and the doctor were fantastic.
Good experience
Still waiting to discuss what is next. It's been over 2-3 weeks since my appointment.
I HOPE THE DOCTOR IS HALF AS GOOD AS SHE WAS
I really liked your attention and kindness, Thank you!!
Excellent communication provided from post surgery, and throughout my stay.
Obi was compassionate, courteous, and very encouraging as we discussed my progress since the surgery.
My first video Dr. Visit. Very professional. All necessary questions were answered. Several tests were given. Body movement, standing on toes, heals to verify mobility. I was impressed.
Very professional.
No bad experience. All was appreciated by my family.
Superior
I feel the NP's mind was made up that I needed PT and nothing further. I continue to feel that providers are sending me off to someone else rather than trying to help me.
Disappointed
There were no discussions about possible treatment options. Need a new MRI frist.
Excellent
Great
Same here. The PA listened and ordered according to my needs.
She was on top of everything concerning my health
Can't speak highly enough about the care and concern and explanation is given to us by the nurse practitioner
My husband and I were both very confused about diagnosis and treatment recommendations. It seemed that there may have been a language barrier in terms of our communication. The one thing we did understand was that she would check with the Dr regarding the ct scan and previous mri. I'm still not comfortable not having had the opportunity to ask questions directly to the Dr about his recommendation.
The appointment time frame wasn't long enough. The NP had to end the appointment in order to go down to the ER.
Good
Above and the call of duty
OB and I discussed any problems I had and future concerns. Great recovery!!!
Very direct and to the point, took time to look at all my carts from North East Ga, all but one which I would do Monday, with end the hour she called back and had gotten the ,MRI ,which saved me alot of time, Great Doctor
Great experience because my practitioner was thorough and kind.
N.P. Obiageli Okonkwo's listens to observations and concerns the patient has, discusses previous areas of concern and outcomes then moves forward to determine if there are any new issues, then discusses patient's areas of strength and weaknesses. Next N.P. Obiageli Okonkwo moves forward to making recommendations for best practices in addressing any new concerns with the patient's feelings / perspectives in mind, very impressive. Very knowledgeable and considerate.
I already have recommended a friend to schedule an appointment with Obie.
If ever I need medical care and I am sent to Emory hospital I know I will get the best care.
Dr.Obi was fantastic! My husband and I were very impressed she took the time to ask me tons of questions s and she was very thorough.
Excellent
Good experience
The PA was professional as well as personable. She made me feel at ease and listened to me regarding my condition. She was very concerned and made me feel as if she really cared about the care I should receive as well as talking to me about the doctor that I would see on my next visit.
Physician/Provider did a great job explaining the MRI images and possible treatment options.
The nurse practitioner explained everything very well together we came up with a plan which I hope will get me started in the correct healing direction
Good service
Very good experience
She took her time explaining everything in detail including going over my MRI on the computer screen. She asked me if I had any questions regarding my care and future visits. My visit with her was 10 stars. Couldn't be treated any better.
Nice and did listen but I feel like I wasn't being taking seriously there was no real concern in what I was trying to express about a concern I had.
Very good
She was born to work with people! Great caring personality and very calm and encouraging.
Dr George Stefanis recommended Dr Faiz Ahmad to do my spine surgery in 2018 and I have found him and Obiageli Okonkwo, NP to be reliable doctors and sees about their patients.
Very attentive and informative! Very positive and pleasant experience!
Very disicult to understand.
Did great
Care provider did not seem to be prepared for my visit but I accepted her assessment of my diagnosis.
NP answered all my questions with much clarity and undetstanding
It was all good
Waste of time....she actually asked me why I was there, as if it's not listed in my files. Not very knowledgeable, and she had a bad attitude
Just a great experience all around.
I would recommend her to anyone she was very professional but caring and recommended the proper course of action to ensure my problem was taken care of
I was very happy with my care and the experience I've had with the doctors and the PA, nurses I would always praise them
Had a very good experience with her
It was clear she could not help me.
Presented atmosphere of trust.....good listner and provider of continuity of care
Dr never stepped in to introduce himself, and the OA actually asked me dis I think this procedure...meaning surgery was necessary...seemed odd to ask since I was referred by a surgeon. Just not a warm fuzzy feeling. Maybe it'll improve
RN will set up conference call with MD
I already recommended that provider to my friend.
I was giving professional advice & ask for my opinion as to how we should proceed.
Obiageli Okonkwo was terrific. She listened and responded to my concerns.
She bore out the beginning comments of only doing surgery, no diagnostics. Neurology had a 2 yr wait list so with my atypical symptoms my best route to go was to get my Dr to recommend a good rheumatologist to find an autoimmune disease that fits me. That suggestion saved the 3 hr trip!
Dr. Diebolt, has given me a second chance to Walk. Dr. OB has given me a second chance to walk. They both are very professional. I thank the Lord for the both of them
Good
Very responsive & friendly

Dr. O was thorough as usual and was genuinely concerned about my recovery.
Dr. Obi was excellent with answers about my concerns and questions. She asked me questions about my recovery and provided me with information to help me continue to improve.
I would wholeheartedly recommend my care team
Awesome allowed me to vent my concerns and share my results and have sound recommendations
NP listened to all of my concerns of 1 yr follow up CT Scan report. She took time to show me the CT Scans and explained what the report and why there were no concerns from what the scans were showing.
Felt very comfortable talking with my provider.
Their plan works for me.
She conducted the most thorough post op exam I have ever had!
Good

Good
No issue with the way they looked at my issue
My family and I were very comfortable with Dr. Obbi, she's professional and knowledgeable and made us feel confident in our decisions. She gave us our options and explained the risks and benefits of each. I'm very comfortable with her and trust her to help me make the right decisions to improve my health.
Good
Obi is a wonderful NP! She was very knowledgeable, caring and just overall an excellent NP.
