About Kemdi Chidiebere Egekeze, MD

Care Philosophy I chose primary care because that's the primary avenue where we can help people. It's the first line in the whole medical system. When people go to the doctor, they want to be introduced in a way that makes them comfortable. It's daunting to see a specialist or have surgery. Our role is to ease patients into that process so they feel comfortable and know the doctors care about them and want them to get better. I help with that. The most important skill is having a good ear, listening to what your patient is trying to convey. That often gets overlooked. My experience of understanding them goes beyond a medicine or a surgical procedure, It helps us find the deeper cause and root of what they're going through. In primary care, we pride ourselves on being that first line for people to air out everything they're going through and letting us ease them into the process. That's really what we want: to help the patient. We're here to help.

      Highlights from patients about their experience with this provider:
      • Jan 30, 2025
        (5/5)
        I have struggled with PCP's dismissing or not listening to my health concerns. Dr. Egekeze was a complete 180 from these experiences. He was incredibly patient and committed to hearing everything I wanted tot all about. He validated some things, informed me about options to help with some things I experience, and was all around a wonderful doctor. I am eager to finally move forward with my health journey with a PCP who really cares about his patients and his work.

        Dr Egekeze was extremely knowledgeable. He listened and addressed all my needs. He was patient and took the time to explain a detailed care plan.
