Dr. Okafor is exceptional. He took time to explain my ECG results in plain language and created a management plan that has genuinely improved my quality of life. Highly recommended.
Best cardiologist I have seen in Nigeria. Very thorough, listens carefully, and doesn't rush you. His clinic at LUTH is well-organised and the staff are professional.
Excellent doctor with deep knowledge. Waiting time was a bit long but completely worth it for the quality of consultation.
