Dr. Nwochie is a skilled listener and is willing to explore alternative solutions that don't involve medication. She has an authentic personality and put me at ease within the first few minutes of our session.

She was professional and communicated clearly throughout the appointment. However, I personally did not feel warmth or a strong therapeutic connection during the interaction. That does not mean she is not a good Nurse Practitioner — only that she may not have been the right fit for me personally..
