I moved to Virginia about two years ago, and my allergies have been out of control. Dr. Okocha is really knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. She listened to my concerns and was very thorough when asking me questions about my symptoms and flare-ups. Her staff was professional and friendly. Dr. Okocha prescribed me meds, and I immediately picked them up and began taking them as directed. I feel so much better already. I finally got a good night's sleep.
I was completely ready to cancel this appointment. I was never contacted my the office to confirm the appointment. I had to call them and then there was no record of me having an appointment. After explaining that I did so through Zocdoc, it was apparent that no one from that office checked that source. So my appointment was then moved an hour later and none of the information I provided online and printed out was accepted as they use different forms. I had to fill out all of that information again when I arrived which elevated my blood pressure. There needs to be a more cohesive and timely system for conveying data from Zocdoc to the professionals because this was a disaster.

The doctors were very very kind and intelligent. I really learned so much! They were truly invested in making sure I knew how to use my prescriptions. I feel very informed. Receptionist was sweet too.
Verified patient
Dr. Okocha was extremely understanding, and you could tell she really knows what she is talking about and is extremely resourceful in allergies and asthma. I went in for an asthma treatment and not only did she help me with my asthma, but we also addressed my food allergies and she made a connection to the Birch Tree pollen and how that seasonal pollen connects to certain food allergies, which I'm allergic to. This is the first time in my 21 years that someone has throughly explained to me why I'm allergic to all these different types of foods. Amazing experience 10/10.
Verified patient
Very knowledgeabe and polite. I asked her about some things that weren't exactly related to allergies and she still managed to explain very well. Reception staff was also friendly and efficient.
Verified patient
Once seen, I received excellent care.
Dr. Okocha was amazing! Not only did she quickly help me figure out what I needed to feel some relief during this rough allergy season but she was very clear in her diagnosis and treatment plan. She was also very kind, and easy to talk to as she made me feel so comfortable asking all of my questions.

Verified patient
She was excellent! Very nice style of interacting, very thorough, asked good questions but equally important, she listened and revised treatment strategies based on what I shared with her. Staff friendly and professional as well.
Verified patient
I thought I went for a allergy test. I waited there about an hour then figured out that they won't do the test. Doctor will only consult with me rather than testing. Also, she didn't recommend me for the allergy test my doctor for sinus infection suggested.
I had seen 2 doctors before seeing Dr. Okocha so I was aggravated to say the least BUT she was able to diagnose my allergic reaction in literally minutes! Also she prescribe me the correct medicine which worked in a weeks time. I would go to her again in a heart beat!

I had a n excellent visit at Dr. Okocha's office. My only compliant is that I had an extended wait because my appointment from ZocDoc had apparently been cancelled in their system. Otherwise, I was highly impressed with Dr. Okocha and her staff!!
Verified patient
Very good experience. I've been to many doctors from LA to the east coast trying to figure out why I was having trouble breathing. Here I had an allergy test done which confirmed dust mites are a huge part of my problem and the regimen plus prescriptions the doctor wrote out for me took care of a year long problem in about 10 days. Staff was friendly and answered all my questions. Even worked with me financially since I was paying out of pocket. Good people.
Verified patient
Dr. Okocha was fantastic - she answered all of my questions patiently and was very informative. I've seen a ton of healthcare professionals of all types and Dr. Okocha is one of my new favorite doctors.

Dr. Okocha and the staff were very friendly. I felt really comfortable talking to the doctor about the issues I was having. She came up with solutions that were very helpful! So happy I found this place! I even made an appointment for my husband, who didn't end up having an allergies but still was satisfied!
Verified patient
She was very nice and friendly. Knew what she was talking about. Made sure to know I understood what was happening with me and medications to take.
Verified patient
Dr. "O" diagnosed me and helped me to get to the bottom of symptoms I have been having for years when other doctors have simply said I had bronchitis. She is WONDERFUL!
My visit went very well. I went in the office I waited three minutes and they called me. My appointment was 2:30. At 3:30 I was walking out the door. They are very friendly. Doing testing the nurse notified me about everything she was going to do and when she was doing it. The doctor seemed to know what she was doing. Great office visit. It was worth the $35:00 copayment.

I really like Dr. Okocha. She sees both of my children and she's very thorough yet has a great bedside manner. My children are very comfortable with her.
Dr. Okocha was very helpful and understanding of my allergy situation. She is willing to work to find an allergy injection solution that covers my time in DC, as well as my time in Pittsburgh. She is prompt, asks all the right questions, and is great with follow-up. I highly recommend!
