Dr. Mgbako is a very likable, easy to talk to, very personable and knowledgeable podiatrist who met with me as my usual podiatrist was away due to a family emergency. Dr. Mgbako was helping me with prescription shoe inserts (orthoShow moretics) and said that many people are unhappy with their orthotics for one simple reason: they immediately wear them all day. Any difference in previously worn shoe insoles or heel height or outsole means that the foot, calf, thigh, hip and spine need to adjust and move slightly differently. That means engaging some muscles not previously used. After an eight hour shift on your feet in new shoes or new orthotics, your muscles are going to complain! Dr. Mgbako suggested that I wear the insoles for 1hr the first day then increase their use by one additional hour each day. I’m set to return in a month to see how I am faring with the insoles. I may need a different insole for heels but one step at a time! (Ouch!) I felt Dr. Mgbako treated me with respect and intelligence. I learned something without feeling stupid. I would absolutely recommend this practice as I have felt that each part of this practice, from the incredibly efficient and personable reception staff, to the nurses, technicians, radiology specialists and podiatrists, you just can’t go wrong! I’m beginning to feel like family with this wonderful group of genuinely talented and warm people. I recommend Dr. Mgbako completely and have recommended Dr. Patel. I’m truly challenged by whom to see on my follow-up!! They’re both excellent, as are their support staff. In today’s medical atmosphere, I find it rather rare to find depth of skill and humanity in so many in one practice group. See them! Your feet will thank you!!
Dr. Chudi is awesome! He was my mom's doctor and surgeon. She was 78 when she had surgery on her foot. He was so good with her and my mom was very with it! She took a long time to heal being a diabetic and he never lost faith in tShow morehe healing process. I am a diabetic also and have no issues but I go every 6 months for a check up just be sure everything is okay. He is an excellent doctor and I highly recommend him!

Reviews
Dr. Mgbako was very thorough and gave me perspectives on my problem that had not been covered by another provider. He has a warm manner and is open to questions and has great patience. I recommend him highly to anyone with a foot or ankle problem. His approach is to deal with the whole patient, suggesting more conservative treatments before any more radical ones such as surgery. I'm very impressed!
Excellence in medical care. Highly recommend AAA+
I was surprised to read I. The notes about my appointment that I was told about stretching exercises and a couple of other things. I don’t believe we discussed these things.
Awesome!
All of my appts at the center have been through and informative
Very polite, he explained everything in detail. His office is very clean, he listened to my concerns and gave positive feedback
Outstanding doctor and he has a great bedside manner and staff is excellent.

Good
Very friendly, outgoing and easy to treated by him. Dr Mgbako engaged in conversation and took your mind off of what he was doing. Explained in detail what he was doing.
Dr. Chudi is THE BEST .I brought my son to his office & he took the time to sit and explain and answer all my questions. He is very knowledgeable and such a kind & genuine doctor. The office staff was also extremely pleasant from moment I walked in until I left!
He is the most personable and highly efficient foot doctor ever.

Dr Mgbako is kind and attentive and really knows his stuff. You will get excellent treatment and advice from him.
Everyone was courteous and professional
Emergency appt was perfect. Friendly staff. Great doctors!!
Dr Chudi is the best.
The entire practice is filled with kind, knowledgeable staff. The front desk is quick and efficient and friendly. Dr. Mgbako is gentle with the needle, responsive to the patient. He takes the time to explain in detail what is going to happen, how to take care of it afterwards, and lets you know that you can call anytime if you have a problem. I would highly recommend Dr. Mgbako and his staff and have to family and friends already.
I am seeing Dr Chudi Mgbako for a year now. I have an underlying condition that will need orthopedic care probably for the rest of my life. That is why is so important to me to find a good doctor. What is really puts Dr Mgbako above other orthopedic doctors that he really cares about you as a person. He is empathetic, he understands fractures, no weight bearing is hard on you emotionally too. He also considers what kind of care you would like. I prefer conservative care, resting and healing on its on rather having surgeries. He is also a doctor who cares about his own health and body and I am more able to trust my health with someone who does what he says.
Very good. Would recommend him for other people.
