Dr. Onoja's expertise as a clinician is exceptional. His psychotherapy approach allows patients to provide enough information for him to tailor medication and assess potential outcome. During the session, he compassionately informs the patient that do have a safety net.

I like the fact my practitioner includes me in my care. He doesn’t dictate what will be done. He gives me information and then I can make a decision. Makes me feel in control of my own decisions regarding my mental health
