Fantastic Surgeon!

Before my surgery I had constant severe back pain that went down in my legs. I struggled with things like getting in and out of bed because the pain was always there. I had such pain just moving around. I visited other spine surgeons and had procedures done but the pain worsened. Then I went to Dr. Okafor. I don't have the pain I had before and I can do those simple things again like my housework. The staff here are all so nice and the doctors took the time to answer my questions. He took the time and that doesn't happen much anymore.
I want to thank Dr. Okafor for being who he is. It's one of the best things for someone to just be himself and to be the kind of person he is. He has a devotion of compassion in healthcare, something that isn't seen as much any more these days. He is incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. He took the time out to explain everything to me and help me be comfortable. He is superb and I Cannot thank him enough.

Thanks Dr. Okafor

I had a back problem in my lower back, it was aggravating my spinal cord and the pain went down my leg. Injections didn’t work for me and after getting the MRI done it showed I really had a mess going on. I am very pleased and have no pain and this is only four months after surgery. I appreciate everything the staff at Spine Institute of Central Florida has done for me and I would recommend to anyone and I’m real pleased.

Definitely recommend coming here!

Dr. Okafor is an absolutely amazing physician. He made sure that I understood every aspect of my injuries and all my possible treatment options; I didn't have any questions left unanswered. He takes his time to explain each and every detail and gives examples so you can understand what each medical term mean.
I highly recommend Dr. Okafor and the Spine Institute of Central Florida.
