Airport Urgent Care is the closest urgent care location to my home, and since my husband had a good experience there in May 2010, I decided to go see Dr. Okoro this past weekend to address my persistent cough.
The waiting room seems cramped and dark, but has ample seating. Since I had new patient paperwork to fill out, my 25-minute wait didn't seem so long. (Despite the detailed info I gave on that initial form, I was asked about my medical history by the nurse and by Dr. Okoro afterward, leading me to believe that they barely glanced at my chart.)
The nursing staff are pleasant and personable, and eager to make brief small talk to make their patients' visit more tolerable. Dr. Okoro himself is a quirky character with an accent that is sometimes hard to follow; between my husband and myself, though, we managed to understand everything we needed to know.
Dr. Okoro does seem to know his business, although it's unusual and just a little disconcerting to hear the doctor talking aloud to himself while deciding on a prescription: "You'll probably need an antibiotic... but which one?"
Overall, I was satisfied with the level of service I received from Dr. Okoro and his staff. Next time I have a non-life-threatening medical issue to address, I will most likely go back to Airport Urgent Care. read more
