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.

Best OB in Houston
I had the incredible privilege of being under the care of Dr. Temitope Ekwo, and I cannot praise her enough. As an OB GYN, Dr. Ekwo is the epitome of excellence. She exudes confidence and possesses a wealth of knowledge that is immediately reassuring. Her easy-going nature, coupled with her attentive listening skills, made every interaction with her a comforting experience.Throughout my pregnancy, there were several challenges, but Dr. Ekwo faced each one with a calm and optimistic demeanor that put me at ease. She consistently wore a warm, genuine smile that reflected her peaceful aura. Dr. Ekwo was deeply aware of my birth goals and did everything within reason to make sure the were met. She made me feel heard, valued, and actively involved in every healthcare decision, which is a rare quality in many doctors today.True to her word, Dr. Ekwo went above and beyond to deliver my baby, a promise she made from the very beginning. Her dedication and passion for her work excellent!

My first appointment here was a few days ago with Dr. Ekwo. I did a lot of research before choosing a Dr and I found great things about her and I liked her areas of focus. The nurses and staff were very friendly and the office is beautiful. But that's where the good things stopped. New transfer patient, Dr. Ekwo walks in the ultrasound room fast paced, introduces herself, and I believe she had a “intern” with her. She introduced herself and the other colleague with her. She then proceeds to say well… I’m going to have to deliver a baby soon! Um…. At that point my visit went totally out the window for me, I didn’t want to share anything with her because even if I did, I felt like it would not have mattered, you’re making me aware that you were basically rushing my visit so you can make it to a hospital delivery. How rude is that. So I then looked at my office notes and she stated that I said I was anemic and wasn’t prepared for labs, no ma’am I WALKED OUT because you were rude.

Almost Killed my Baby
Dr. Ekwo ran hcg levels three times BEFORE 8 weeks and decided my pregnancy was a blighted ovum. She called me into the office on my lunch break, knowing I would be alone, then proceeded to tell me my baby was dead and I needed to proceed with a DNC. The office tried to schedule the DNC and I told her I would need to discuss with my husband. Luckily I did my own research. My hcg levels were low, but within NORMAL range and consistently going up with each test. I would be very cautious proceeding with Dr. Ekwo as your OB.

I ONE HUNDRED PERCENT RECOMMEND DR. EKWO. Very professional, listened to my concerns, and FULLY corrected the problem I had with fibroids. I was highly discouraged by another physician that I had seen prior to seeing Dr. Ekwo. I’m so glad I got a second opinion from Dr. Ekwo. My surgery went amazing, her medical staff was highly professional, and Dr. Ekwo basically never left my side. I don’t care what part of the world I am, I am keeping her as my forever OBGYN!!!!

There are really no words to adequately express how much I admire and appreciate the level of care and concern I experience every time I interact with Dr. Ekwo. She is amazing! Whether it be an in-person appointment, tele-doc or over the phone, she exudes an immeasurable about of compassion; is always warm, personable and knowledgeable. My high risk pregnancy anxiety was eased with the degree of trust that she would be thorough, very perceptive, and forward thinking. Without hesitation, I have and will continue to recommend her services and support. Dr. Ekwo is an astonishing representation of a physician, making it more than comfortable, to entrust your life and the life of your baby, in her hands. I am forever grateful to have been and to continue to be in her care.

She was very nice. I had a very sensitive issue and she was very understanding and helped me. She explained that what I was experiencing was not abnormal. It's just not very common. Not everyone is built the same; similarly; but, differences exist. I had the choice to treat...or not treat. I made my decision and she supported my decision and worked with me to ensure it was a good decision.

My daughter had a Woman's well exam scheduled I explained that I will be in the waiting area to authorize ant tests. The exam took less the 20 minutes and blood was drawn. I was not asked. A nurse called me to come back and re-draw the blood, I stated no, I never agreed to the tests. After speaking to Dr. Ekwo , who was very abrasive and kept interrupting me and just transferred me to the office Mgr. after I stated I will not pay for the Tests I never authorized. (Same tests were already done)

I found Dr. Ekwo to be a very kind, courteous, caring doctor. She took her time with me explaining what was going on with my ovaries. She went over what would need to be done to resolve my problem. Answered my questions and concerns. Her staff was kind and courteous as well. I didn't have long to wait in the waiting room , just long enough to fill out my paperwork, then I was called in, shown to a room where vitals were taken, and less than 5 minutes later Met Dr. Ekwo.

I had the worst experience with her. She requested an ultrasound very early in the pregnancy, and quickly gave me the worse case scenario when nothing showed. Had to do the same labs twice because of their mistakes. Very unprofessional and lacked empathy leaving me waiting for test results for a whole weekend, when I was told she would call me Friday morning and didn't. I never received an apology for putting me through misery so early in my pregnancy, when everything was fine.

To all future patients of Dr. Ekwo: My disappointment with this physician is multi fold. First upon making my appointment I had requested the appointment for lab work and filling my prescriptions. At my appointment I was told by the physician that she doesn't do the lab work that I requested and will fill my thyroid prescription until I see HER RECOMENDED doctor. When filing for insurance my claim was rejected due to coding error not consistent with my diagnosis. BE AWARE OF FALSE CLAIMS!!!!
