Dr Chukwu was a very sweet and knowledgeable doctor. We scheduled a video call very quickly, discussed my issues, she listened not only for what I came in for but my other issues I didnt think she could help with. Also as a trans Show moreperson, she respected that the name I want to be called doesn't align with my current legal name and remembered to refer to me as such. There was a little hiccup with if my insurance covered our visit and she offered tangible solutions which was a huge relief lmao

I’ve had I believe about 2/3 appointments with Janenita and I felt a bit uncomfortable/frustrated after each one. I often don’t write reviews for anything but I am a younger person and it often times felt as though she was very dismissive/forgetful of what I was telling her, and even as if she was speaking down to me at times. She would definitely be a good fit for someone who is older & just starting out with medications and treatment, but I would not say she is a very warm/easy to speak with
