Personable and knowledgeable on explaining the disease processes and game plan for keeping my mature aging eyes as healthy as possible. Most importantly Dr Okafor was very reassuring that my eyes are fine, for now, and that I’m in good hands in the future if and when that changes. I appreciated his honesty and professionalism and felt he cared about me and my eyes.

Very professional. Allowed for questions and gave good explanations. However I did feel that he was rushed. There was no opportunity for more personal conversation. Unfortunately those are what can foster better connection.
