Dr. Chinwuba Onejeme Winner of the "Best Bedside Manner Award 2008" Internal Doctor at Potomac Physicians, P.A. (410)869-0100.
He has been my primary care doctor for about 15 years and I think he has demonstrated the best bedside manner of all the doctors I've been to over my 50 plus years. I am so pleased with his bedside manner when I have Sickle Cell Pain episodes. Firstly, because he does everything possible to help me prevent having a pain episode by telling me things such as make certain I eat the types of foods to maintain good health, avoid/minimize stress in my life. Secondly, to be prepared if and when I should have a pain episode. For instance, he makes sure I have an adequate supply of Folic Acid and Pain medication to catch a pain episode at its inception. He tells me things I to help me better manage my health and does things to help me maintain or retain my good health.
When I have had to use the facilities at the health center, Dr. Onejeme makes sure the room temperature is warm and that I have a blanket to keep me warm, that I had Intravenous Solution to adequately hydrate me and whatever he needed to do to help me regain my health.
Dr. Onejeme has been professional, courteous, and compassionate to create a conducive atmosphere to recover in. I have suffered throughout the night and waited until the health center opened to avoid going to an ER. At ER's in the metropolitan areas I have been subjected to wanna be professional health care givers' who actually have made the ER my last resort.
I have written many letters to Dr. Onejeme, Director of Potomac Physicians, P.A. and his staff commending them for an outstanding job in leadership, professionalism, and courteous care giving.
KUDO'S to Dr. Onejeme for providing me with accurate, prompt, professional, and courteous service in times of crises and routine visits.
