Dr. Nwanneka Okolo, MD

My daughter has been a patient for 14 years. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Okkolo. She is very knowledgeable, Great with kids and parents alike and was able to diagnose and treat my daughter properly

We began seeing Dr. Okolo when I was still pregnant with my daughter and had been given an awful diagnosis. We originally went to her for a second opinion and never left her since. She explained my daughter’s diagnosis to us in layman’s terms and we walked out of there hopeful instead of defeated. Once my daughter was born, we brought her in to see Dr. Okolo and she was so excited to meet her! She has guided us through every obstacle with grace, kindness and compassion. Now whenever we walk in for an appointment, Dr. Okolo will come out to the waiting room and hold my 3 months old the entire time while also examining her. I couldn’t recommend her more!

Dr. Okolo is warm and very patient and helps you feel very comfortable, while dealing with a very serious medical condition. I highly recommend her as all of my children have improved with their seizures under her care. Thank you immensely Dr. Okolo!

Dr Okolo is the best ! When my son was having issues, I thought there was no hope till we met Dr Okolo . Thorough , kind , caring and patient . She listened to all my concerns and worries . She explained everything to me and I always left the office feeling better ! Thank god my son eventual “graduated “ from neurology , and I thank dr Okolo every day for that !!

Terrible experience...was given the wrong address (staff told us to go to SIUH office and Dr Okolo was seeing patients on Hylan Blvd office). After racing from the hospital and getting across Hylan Blvd (left 2 messages for staff, as no one answered and the staff at the hospital called to tell them we were coming) Dr Okolo refused to see us, we were 16 mins late!!!!!! For reference, the last time I brought my son there we waited almost 2 hours for her. Find a better doctor that actually cares about your children more than her own time.

She takes the time to listen and really understands what the child may need

I have never in my life met a group of staff or doctor more terrible and cold hearted than these people. First You have to wait at least 3 months to see this PEDIATRIC NEUROLOGIST.. I myself am disabled my son is Autistic and we arrived 15 minutes late..wait 3 months then hit traffic and arrive 15 minutes late and THE DOCTOR WOULD NOT SEE US..THE OFFICE WAS EMPTY AND THIS DOCTOR REFUSED TO SEE A CHILD..I immediately started crying and they could’ve cares less..worst experience of MY life..BEWARE
