When Dr. Nwagwu sees a patient, he carefully reviews their medical history and takes their current lifestyle into consideration. Each treatment plan is constructed to meet the needs of each patient individually. “Every patient to me is special. I treat them like they are my own family,” says Dr. Nwagwu. “I often form special bonds with my patients. I even miss them at times.”
