Was very clear about my check-up and what I could do if things got worse in the future. I appreciate how my options were presented to me.
Exceptionally competent, great communicator, and genuinely interested in patients' lives. Best of all, she obtains great results. I have the highest level of confidence in her and would recommend her without hesitation.
Clearly explains everything.
Nice doctor, and I will see her again
Dr. Chinwuba really listened and took her time to answer my questions.
Dr. Chinwuba is very thorough. She listened to all of my concerns and answered every question I had. She took the time to make sure I understood what she was explaining.
Where do I start. The minute she walked in the room, her cold authoritative personality showed. Not asking me any questions, I asked her if she wanted to know why I was here, she said she read the notes. She said she works backwards and will ask me when she is done examining me. My chin was uncomfortable in the head rest, and I asked her to lower it a little. She scolded me in a stern voice and said she wasn’t done!!! I gave up asking her anything. I don’t think she helped me at all, I have something in my eye! She sent an RX into CVS Target. When I went to pick it up, the Pharmacist explained that she could not fill it because it’s an OTC. This Dr gives your clinic a very very bad reputation. I will never see her again, actually block her from my file. Please call me with questions. 612-889-2122. Thank you. I asked the nurse, after the Dr left the room, if she was always this mean, and the nurse laughed and said, “she can be”!
Very pleasant! Very informative! Answered questions in detail. Shared how to resolve an issue if my vision changes. Eyes in good health.
I had a GREAT check up with Dr Chinwuba. Thank You
Dr. chinwuba was very knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and my experience with her could not have been better.
