She is very friendly and pleasant and professional.

'After ten years of horrible doctors, I was lucky enough to find Dr. Ugwu. She is a highly caring and compassionate Provider. She was the first doctor to actively listen and understands while all my other past doctors didn’t care. If you are suffering like I was with my panic attack, I highly recommend Dr. Ugwu. Today I was finally able to eat a whole meal after struggling for months with my anxiety disorder. Thank you Dr. Ugwu I cannot thank you enough ??'

Eric
'It’s difficult finding yourself in a mental health crisis. For me it’s difficult to find and talk to strangers even if it’s a doctor. The staff was professional and friendly. Dr. Ugwu allowed me to talk, vent and cry without being rushed or hurried along. I look forward to my therapy and hopefully on the right road to getting “ well” . Also the office wall is filled with positive affirmations ??'
Marcia
'Ngozi has been my psychiatric advisor for almost 6 years. I trust her intuition and have faith in her judgment. I feel like we are a team when it comes to my mental health. She is easy to talk to about concerns with medication. Ngozi is an outside of the box critical thinker and truly cares about her patients. My insurance doesn't cover her, but she is that amazing, I'm willing to pay out of pocket.'

'Dr Ngozi is nice, down to earth and caring. She listens to what I’m saying, many drs don’t and think they know me better then i do! I have had depression and anxiety for years, I know what helps and doesn’t and she listens to what I’m saying and I trust her opinion and the meds she prescribes me'
Sharlene
'Ngozi is a great listener and provides care and compassion. During my visits I felt welcomed and valued.

Warm atmosphere, professional, and inviting support staff.'
