Dr. Chinenye Uchendu, MD

Terrible beyond words, doesn't know basic medicine! Suspect Nigerian scam or stole someone's identity.

I went Cape hoke hospital at 2:45 pm chest pain waited for 4 hrs to be taking to the er room after that it took 2 hrs to see a Dr Chinenye A Uchendu that the first think he told me with my experience u have anxiety and panic attacks did not talk to me about my blood results or ekg results I told him I do not suffer from anxiety or panico attack I'm having chest pain. He continues telling me I have anxiety and he is going to do another test to make sure is not my heart. Well he send nurse to give a pill for anxiety that I refuse and I told the nurse that I do not agree with his dx and she agree with me. They test me 3 times for triponin blood test 3 times came back abnormal (test for heart problem) and test me for d-dimer abnormal for blood clot but he send me home with a diagnosis of anxiety/panic attacks.

"I saw Dr. Uchendu at Hoke Hospital. He was very condescending rude, and refused to listen fully to what led up to my visit, he continually interrupted me, and within 5 seconds of coming into my room, he was using statements like "What you are saying is not adding up!" ME: What do you mean, you have not allowed me to explain my symptoms. HIM: You cannot hear or feel your own or someone else's heartbeat without specialized equipment. He then prescribed medicine that could cause complications in people with a history of heart problems, even though his own specialized equipment showed I was having a heart episode. He blamed my attitude of disgust of his bed side manner for anxiety, lol, I have never been described as anxious."

I met Mr. Uchendu at Cape Fear Valley Hoke Hospital, as he was treating my husband in the E. R. He came in and did not introduce himself at all. He came in asking my husband questions aggressively and extremely rude. He began chastising my husband, and not allowing my husband to speak. Mr. Uchendu and my husband was at a point of arguing when I spoke to try and explain the situation to Mr. Uchendu he told me not to speak as if he had the right. Mr. Uchendu and my husband now begins to argue about an non health related issue)(Mr. Uchendu attitude). I asked Mr. Uchendu why was the call bell on the floor he looked at it and ignored me.. He finally started doing his job and asking my husband health related questions. As they wrapped up their conversation, I again asked Mr. Uchendu was anyone going to put the call bell in my husband's reavh as required by law? Mr. Uchendu sharply answered he would send someone in and as he walked out I told him that I would be filing a complaint.
