I am a fan of Dr. Obunadike. I am relatively new to the area and was previously a patient at N.Y. Hospital for Special Surgery. The care that I receive at Emory is as good or better than I received up north. Dr. Obunadike is skillful, compassionate, and "soft".
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/10/2026
Dr. Obunadike was caring and very professional. We discussed additional services (PT) to augment the prescribed treatment. She went out of her way to explain her treatment. She is trustworthy.

Great

I am not satisfied. The doctor came in already convinced she knew what my problem was. It may be, but I doubt it. I was never given the opportunity to show her where and what is was doing. I'm sure I have arthritis as she said. I already knew that. The problem changed after an injury. Now I feel like I need to go somewhere else but I paid her my money.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/25/2026
I wouldn't recommend because of the time it took to be seen. The only way I got her in there was I walked out and found someone and let them know we were about to have to leave before we were even seen.

While the care provider is good, for me and with out question others the entirety of the care visit is compromised with what does or doesn't happen during the visit.

I spent less than 10 mins with Dr O. This was by far the worst doctors visits I have had at Emory. I'm sure she was behind in appointment times and needed to get to the next patient. I refused the injections that were offered and wanted to try exercising at home because I felt the appointment was being rushed. I wouldn't recommend this doctor to any of my family and friends.

Md didn't examine my knee at all. Looked at x-rays and did an u/s guided injection. Went for a second opinion 2 days later and got a super thorough exam of range of motion and pain points and function by a PA (not Emory sadly)

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/17/2025
I really like Dr. O. She is thorough, takes time to explain everything which in my case took awhile with 2 MRIs showing 6 tears between a should and hip. And she put in orders immediately especially so that I could get a shot in my hip / labrum so I could enjoy a vacation that had been scheduled for many months the following week. She is a rockstar, as is Dr. Whitley.

Previously described. She spent a lot of time with the patient in the next room (the walls are not soundproof) and seemed to rush with me to try to get back on schedule. I got the feeling she got confused and saw a later appointment patient before me

If you look up incompetent in the dictionary, you'll find Dr. O. The athletic trainer at our school is more qualified and more able to assess injuries than her. My left knee has been hurting for 2 months since I twisted it and felt it pop. Dr. O came in, looked at the x-rays, told me I had good spacing and that nothing was broken, but she did not know what was wrong with me knee. Her proposed treatment was to take Aleve and hoped it felt better in 2 months. She did not even touch my leg. She started to leave, and I asked if she wanted to do an MRI to see if there were any torn ligaments or to determine what the problem actually was (as my PCP recommended and what I made the appointment for). Dr. O was annoyed, came back, pushed on the back of my knee (which caused enough pain for me to pull my leg away), and said she would see if insurance would pay for an MRI. I asked her what was wrong with my knee, and she responded that she did not know and left. I've never seen a worse doctor in my life.

My appt was at 2:25pm and this doctor didn't come into throom until about 3:45pm. Then she only spent about 4 minutes with me. She didn't ask to see the area of pain and she guessed that the burning sensation was due to sciatica. She didn't listen to me at all! I am never going back to her

Dr O is hands down a perfect example of how a healthcare professional should be. She has empathy for the patient. Dives deep into the details of her patient's needs and finds the best solution that's available out there. I myself being a healthcare professional really appreciate her attitude and attention to detail. We need more of Dr O every where. Me and my mom appreciate her from the bottom of our hearts. I normally do not do surveys but Dr O is one of a kind and needs to be appreciated every day!!!!

Dr O was awesome
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/19/2025
Dr O questions and explanations were clear and her caring/recommendations was provided with concern and understanding. But, I noticed she didn't examined my good knee for comparison reasons... Which I believe is a standard through this type of examination? I guess I had too many sports related injuries to justify my notes. :)
