Dr Okoli was great!!!!! He listened to my concerns and unique physical issues (low blood pressure and the need to complete projects for my daughter’s upcoming wedding) and accommodated all of my needs. He scheduled the surgery as soon as possible so that I could heal as quickly as possible so that I could complete work for the wedding. On surgery day he modified the standard procedure to accommodate my unique blood pressure issues. Throughout the process he has answered all of my questions and never made me feel rushed or unimportant.
