Dr. Nwaiwu was very helpful and focused on me and my chart/history. I had a physical complaint that I had attributed to a drug that I was taking. He told me that that was most likely a reaction to a different drug- one that another doctor had prescribed for me. He didn't dwell on it. I felt that he indicated that I should take it up with the physician who had put me on it. I believe he was diplomatic and definitive about the issue and as well as my complaint.
