Before my surgery I had constant severe back pain that went down in my legs. I struggled with things like getting in and out of bed because the pain was always there. I had such pain just moving around. I visited other spine surgeons and had procedures done but the pain worsened. Then I went to Dr. Okafor. I don't have the pain I had before and I can do those simple things again like my housework. The staff here are all so nice and the doctors took the time to answer my questions. He took the time and that doesn't happen much anymore. I want to thank Dr. Okafor for being who he is. It's one of the best things for someone to just be himself and to be the kind of person he is. He has a devotion of compassion in healthcare, something that isn't seen as much any more these days. He is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. He took the time out to explain everything to me and help me be comfortable. He is superb and I Cannot thank him enough.
“Fantastic Surgeon!”
