- I’ve been a patient of the doctor Ugoh for around one year at first it was very challenging due to myself not being very good with medication,but the doctor Ugoh persistent with me and we have really made great progress. I’m so happy that I have pushed through and worked with the doctor Ugoh I like the way he makes the treatment a joint approach and it is so interesting listening to what he has to say. If you’re holding back on mental health treatment, I would definitely recommend Dr Ugoh
- Dr. Edwin Ugoh is the best psychiatrist I ever had. He’s up on the research, so knowledgeable about the function of each medication, really thoughtful, respects my ability to make decisions about my care, and I trust him implicitly.
- I feel very lucky to have found Dr Ugoh. Once I was officially diagnosed by him, I was able to start therapy specific for my diagnosis which has helped tremendously. We have very open conversations about if something seems like it’s working or not for me and he’s very honest. I’m extremely confident in his ability to help people.
- Dr Ugoh has been incredible in helping with my mix anxiety disorder, I have gone from having panic attacks on trains, being on holiday and tall buildings to being able to enjoy life and enjoy things in general now.
