Dr. Emereonye is very thoughtful and very insightful with regard to my daughter's care. He recommended that she be seen at the hospital and be brought in through the ED because of changes in behavior. She turned out to have multiple staph infections, and it was his wisdom that facilitated us getting her the appropriate care, and she's doing well now. We're very thankful for Dr. Emereonye's wisdom in this regard. He does a great job with our daughter, and we appreciate it.
