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.

Absolutely horrible doctor.
Absolutely horrible, I would never go back to him again

Very knowledgeable, caring and honest.
Dr. Ukachi was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He addressed all of my concerns and more. He went above and beyond. I even spoke with him on the phone the day after my appointment and he addressed some additional questions I had. He was very respectful, he cared about my concerns and was very honest with me. Thankful that I was able to get an appointment the exact same day that I called.

Doesn’t know much about medicine. Always rude to me and I went in for chest pains and anxiety attacks and he told me I’m experiencing heartburn. That my anxiety attacks weren’t real.

He treated me while I was visiting Auburn on a friend's recommendation. I read his reviews while waiting and almost left. I thank God I didn't. He is very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Spent a good time patiently convincing me that I didn't have asthma and I didn't need a bronchodilator (turns out he was right). If I ever move to Atlanta, that's my doctor right there.

Absolute embarrassment to this community and treats people with complete disrespect and is the most unproffesional person I have ever met. Literally. Avoid this doctor at all costs. I can't even type my story because I refuse to put myself back into the black hole I felt leaving his office. Appalled.
