Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

For years, I've been happy seeing Drs. Appiah & Aziz. Perhaps, because of their great bedside manner, they are popular, making it difficult to get an appointment. I had no choice but to try Dr. O. From the moment she opened her mouth, I knew that she had a poor attitude. I tried 3 appointments with her (I'm a believer in 3 strikes). This was my experience each time: ** She was full of herself and her position as a physician, giving me the impression that she needs power over everything and everyone. ** She talked down AT and OVER me, interrupting me in midsentence, repeatedly. ** She was condescending, belittling and insulting; did not listen to me, as a person who knows my own body and medical history. I felt that she enjoys belittling people. Dr. O would be better suited for work that didn't require contact with other people. A retired dental practitioner, I dealt with patients every day. If I thought that even one patient felt this way about me, I would be mortified.

I've been seeing Dr. Oge for over 4 years. She is a very thorough and true professional. She takes the time to listen to your issues and concerns. I've never had an issue with her or her staff, who is friendly and reliable. I give Dr. Oge and her staff the highest of recommendations.

Today, my 13-year-old daughter had her first visit with Dr. Oge. She exceeded my expectations! She was very thorough with her approach, diagnosis, treatment and explanations. She was patient, understanding and asked multiple times if we had any questions. She took the time to get to know my daughter and provided her with advice and affirmations. For that, I am very grateful! I am so glad I found Dr. Oge. Not only is she a phenomenal dermatologist, she's also a role model for young girls.

Dr. Onwudiwe is a fantastic, personable, and professional physician. I have seen her for multiple appointment and she has taken time to answer questions and address all concerns during each appointment. Her staff is excellent and professional as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy dermatological care.

I went to her over year ago, and she seemed to be angry (way & how spoke) after responding to my statement that a course of prescribed action wasn't working for hair regrowth. After the appointment, I got sick. I called the office, and got a nurse who assured me the treatment was not the cause. Nothing more. Walker Lane practice gets a lot of patients, but I honestly did not feel equitable help/support. Staff did not keep accurate accounts of money paid out bc I had to prove a payment.
