I can't say enough positive comments about Dr. Kachikwu. From the first day I met with her re my breast cancer until she dismissed me from her care, she has been nothing but kind, understanding, approachable, professional, welcoming, and encouraging! She's an absolute role model of what every doctor should be. Her compassionate spirit is evident the moment you meet her and her smile instantly puts your fears aside. I thank her with all my heart for helping me through a very difficult and challenging time in my life.

I was assigned this doctor because the doctor that originally saw me left PIH. When the doctor entered the room the first thing she said after she introduced herself was that she did not handle cases involving pruritus. Than she proceeded to informed me that she was not going to examine me but could prescribe me medication. The first thing that came to mind was that if she did not handle pruritus cases, why didn't she refer me to someone that does. Second, if she felt it was not necessary to examine me. why was she willing to prescribe me medication. I felt that the visit was a waste of my time.
July 01, 2025
Everything that I was treated for was done very professionally and done very well, and success was very, very good. And that's all I got to say. Bye-bye.
