Dr Nwuba is a great listener who talks TO me instead of AT me. She patiently explains her approach to treatment and speaks in a way that easily helps me understand. She's direct and extremely approachable and empathetic. She has never judged me or made me feel uncomfortable when I talk about my mental health issues or ask questions or share concerns. I wish the world had more medical professionals like her.
