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.

Grade A Doc
I went to ER for a horrible pain and found out it was a kidney stone I was recommended to see Dr Okoro. He was the best he explained everything and made sure I understood. When I had a little issue with my kidney he called me back right away and made sure the next day I was ok.

Urology extraordinaire!
My boyfriend had an operation with Dr. Okoro. He was incredibly polite, professional, and knowledgeable. Everything went smoothly and he even personally called to relay the results of specimen analysis and make sure he was happy with the results. Wonderful experience!

The Best Urologist in the Atlanta Area
Dr. Okoro is one of the kindest medical professionals I have ever received patient care from. He takes the time to explain what he and his team will be doing. The procedure he and his team performed on me was very painful but they were as caring as comforting as could be. And when it came time to inform me of the results, Dr. Okoro gave me all the time I needed to ask questions. He answered every question honestly and thoroughly. I left his office feeling empowered to make a decision about my future treatment.I’m one of those people that has to know everything about my health, so I really appreciated that he didn’t talk down to me. Thank you Dr. Chino!

Dr. Okoro is All Things Amazing!!!
When your own mortality is in question, it's very important to have a good healthcare team, and I was fortunate to be seen and treated by Dr. Okoro. During my first consultation, he took his time talking to me, explaining, going over treatment options, answering my questions (as well as my son's questions), and alleviating my anxiety about my condition. I felt heard and understood. My surgery was a total success, and he checked on me the next evening, even after traveling all day long. He has responded to all of my questions when I have reached out to him via the patient portal in a timely manner. Dr. Okoro is one of the BEST doctors that I have ever had! Thank you Doc, you ROCK!!!
