Dr. Oshoua always takes his time every time I am there to explain things. Spends time with you if you have any questions. Seems like most doctors here in Vegas don’t do either one of those things. He also always sees you at the time of your actual appointment. No waiting for hours.

Dr. Chima Osuoha has been my physician for the last 2 years and he is awesome. He has went over and beyond with all the help I have needed; I'm very grateful to have Dr. Osuoha as my physician; cause there aren't a lot of physicians like him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Osuoha for 3 years now. We have built a patient-doctor relationship where he listens and expresses concerns regarding my care and health. He is attentive and responds quickly. He assures the best care that is individual of a patient. Staff are just as personable. The ladies in the office are like family and know me on a first name basis. The ladies are sweet and intuitive. I recommend him as a PCP such as no others compare to Dr. Osuoha.

Recently relocated from New York and was looking for an African American doctor and was pleasantly surprised to walk into an office and be greeted by the nurse Chisma, who made my new patient appointment for later that day. Chisma was very helpful and nice.I came back and the medical assistant Vivian was not only pleasant but knowledgeable and answered all my questions.When I met with the doctor he went over past medical concerns and explained testing that would be done, why and how we would move forward.I have been in the medical field for over 20 years and I can tell a lot about the office with the staff that is employed there. I am happy I chose this office.Keep up the good work.

My girlfriend, Jin, is very satisfied with Dr Osuoha. She says his care is genuine and he always knows what she needs, medically, and has been effective in guiding her to better health over the past year that she’s been a patient of his.
