Dr Okafor is a talented Doctor and a nice person. He communicates very well and always is careful not to alarm or create worry. Which, when you’re talking about your eyes is a good thing.
The CO Ophthamology clinic is first rate. All of the people are focused and professional - it’s a pleasure to be a patient.
