Heart Patient

Dr Ahamefula Agu is an amazing person and so professional in his work. It is not easy to make everyone feel that they are important, but I and my wife gained that feelings with him. Dr Ahamefula Agu, you will stay in our hearts and our life for ever. You changed our life when you helped my wife to give birth comfortably to our daughter, Sophia.

Mr Ambrose Ojukwu

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

My family members and I have been patients of Dr. S. Ekpemo for many years and I can honestly say He is an amazing doctor. He and the Hospital staff provided excellent care and always took time to answer questions. I also appreciate that he offers online check-ins so I can get in and out quickly instead of spending hours in the waiting room. The entire staff were very supportive and helpful.
