Dr. Ekekwe is one of the best doctors I've had. He is comprehensive, and actively stays up to date on the latest medical developments in pulmonary medicine. He asks questions and really listens. He was my guide in determining whether my dentist knew what she was talking about re: the appliance I ordered and the side effects. Dr. Ekekwe armed me with questions which helped greatly in my decision on whether the dentist was qualified to oversee my appliance placement for my sleep apnea.
