Dr. Okafor and staff are amazing. I came here after 2 long years of suffering with severe neck pain. Other doctors told me they could not help me anymore. One of those doctors gave me at least 20 injections. Dr. Okafor treated me problem with surgery and I am in no pain now. I highly recommend this doctor and his staff. Ten stars from me!
