Both the resident and Dr Ugbo were truly outstanding! They both were very knowledgable, professional, and yet warm and caring! They answered every question, did not rush thru my visit, and greatly reduced my anxiety. Highly recommend this team!

Excellent doctor - very patient. Shared a lot of 8nfo I had not heard from other "experts" such as root cause of my midfoot arthritis

Dr. Ugbo understood that I value fitness and am trying to get back in shape. He encouraged me to follow a good time line of rest, immobilization, and eventual weaning off immobilization in order to return to active status.

The education the doctor gave me concerning my situation was very inclusive, empowering; doctor's professionalism of engaging me in interaction was beyond expectation. Thank you for having him on "your staff" - don't let him get away.

Excellent experience.

I just get the feeling that Dr Ugbo is one of the nicest humans I have ever met. He is always so warm and kind. He explained the issue I am having with my feet to me in great detail, and then he actually recommended against have a surgical procedure. It is rare that you find a surgeon that does NOT recommend surgery. That tells me he has my best interests in mind, which I greatly appreciate! I felt he empathized with my struggle with chronic pain with my feet.
