Matthew OKeke, MD

I waited a good hour every visit to this office. My appointment last month the receptionist scheduled me for 3pm. When I arrived, I was told I was late, my appointment was for 1:30pm. I then showed her the schedule card for 3pm. I proceeded to wait for an hour and 40 minutes. A woman in the overcrowded waiting area even said words to make me cry! I went in there seeking the help I did not end up receiving.

This doctor is one of the worst psych doctors ever. I came in and told him about my past with trauma and I have ptsd and extreme social anxiety, depression and everything else because I’ve been assaulted. So I told him xanax is the only thing that works. He refused and prescribed me 4 different meds, 3 ssri and beta blocker for blood pressure. I ended up going to urgent care for my xanax and the meds that okeke prescribed made me suicidal. I hope he rots in hell and loses his license.

He sucks.
Collects money
Extremely long wait time
Rude associate
You can hear other patients personal information

Worst place i’ve ever gone to. Waste of my time. Staff doesn’t know what they are doing. Waited for over a month and a half for an appointment my doctor had referred me, and had to call myself. Then when being asked personal questions someone walked in and didn’t even knock! I felt violated and there was no apology until i asked for one. Then waited another hour for the doctor which i never saw because i’ve been waiting and told since i got there i was the very next patient despite seeing other patients go in before me. The staff is rude and ignorant. I asked for a refund and told the girl to void the transaction which i was told that a refund is a void, which if you look up the definition you know what is what. So now it’s over a week later and i’m on the phone with my bank trying to get my money back. I would never go to this doctor again.

This Doc is straight up brilliant. I really respect him. I was in a crisis situation with no meds left and needed an appointment like ASAP. I’m new to the area, and called like a million psychs and had a hell of a time trying to find one that took medicare, and could get me in soon, as I was out of meds (long story). My nurse practitioner referred me to him, got me an appointment the next day, and I am so thankful she found him for me!!! I live in Henderson, so it’s a bit of a drive, but well worth it!!! He is straight to the point, no B.S., and respects both your time and his. He is amazing for medication management, and fixed what my previous Dr. screwed up. He also added a couple new meds that are working very well with minimal side effects. ALSO, when I got my scripts filled at the pharmacy my pharmacist was AMAZED because NONE of the medications had interactions. ALSO, Dr. Okeke noticed I have symptoms of a very serious health condition that NONE of my previous doc’s have ever noticed!!! He ordered the appropriate bloodwork, and I am following up with my GP and an Endo.
On your first visit they do an intake and get your psych history, medical history and so on. They’ve seen it all so don’t be embarrassed, cuz shit don’t phase them. Just be real and honest. Dr. O’keke spends PLENTY of time with you, but is efficient. I never felt rushed when talking to him, and he is very professional. I really like him. He fixed my dosages of my old meds and added a couple new ones that are working! I’m so excited to see him next week to tell him about my progress, and that the meds are helping! OH, just want to put it out there if you have Medicare, there is a copay. I didn’t think to ask before I went, and my copay was $ 35. It might be different or whatever depending on your coverage, but I didn’t expect it and was like oh snap and had to dig around for some skrilla. Luckily I had some crumpled up money in my car lol.
I am VERY picky about Doctors, and I highly recommend him. That means A LOT coming from me! His office staff is incredibly nice as well.

Dr Okeke’a address is actually at 7818 W Sahara Av Las Vegas. Most apps and Web Searches give the wrong address.
The doctor is excellent for what I need which is medication management. That’s important to have up-​to-​date and mine were not when I first went to the doctor. He was able to get them straightened out. Doctor Okeke is responsive to my observations about their effectiveness.
As far as I know, he does not provide therapy at this office in W. Sahara. Note: Wait times can be long no matter what time you have for an appointment.
I’m on Medicare and BC/​BS and my bill is fully covered.

The most unprofessional Dr. I have ever dealt with. This is my 2^nd visit with him and both times I have been kept waiting for an alarming amount of time. The first time i sat in the waiting room Almost 2 hours. This time i have already been here an hour and 15 mins and HE ISNT EVEN IN THE BUILDING and he had patients starting 3 hours ago!!! Do not waste your time here. He obviously has no respect or courtesy for anyone other than himself.

I would recommend to find another doctor in this field.
2014 has been a tough year, both professionally and personally. I admit, my general idea of psychiatry may be a bit too Hollywood, but I was under the impression that I would meet with a psychiatrist, determine the areas of my life that have given me concern due to emotional duress and then, after several discussions, if a solution couldn’t be found, as a last resort, I would have to consider and probably go on medication… once again, as a LAST RESORT.
Forget the fact that my appointment to meet with Dr. O’Keke was at 2:30 and I waited until 4:00 to see him. Forget the fact that after inquiries about the late time, the only response given was…“he’s just running a bit behind.” No, ten minutes is a bit behind. Two hours is UNACCEPTABLE!!!
When I finally met with Dr. O’Keke, he was condescending and patronizing and wouldn’t make eye contact with me, only kept reading the report that his underling staff had gotten from me an hour prior. We spoke for ten minutes, wherein, he criticized most of my decisions in life and did his best to make me feel even worse about myself. Mind you, this was in the span of ten minutes, upon which, he prescribed me THREE medications that should make me feel better. He instructed me to set another appointment for two weeks from today, but I simply left without a backwards glance. I promptly tore the prescription up and threw it away.
I think I’m more angry with myself for sticking around for the extra hour and a half to be seen only for it to be so underwhelming. I could have saved a co-​pay and not missed half a day of work.
