Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Overview of patient comments
Summary created using AI
Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
Patients appreciate
Dr. Chinonyerem Okwara receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, who consistently praise her attentive listening skills and compassionate bedside manner. Reviewers frequently highlight that she makes patients feel heard and valued rather than "just a number," taking time to thoroughly explain conditions, treatment options, and medications. Many patients specifically commend her knowledge and thoroughness, noting she carefully reviews medications and involves patients in decisions about their care. Her patience, kindness, and genuine concern for patient well-being are mentioned repeatedly, with several reviewers calling her the best psychiatrist they have ever had and describing her as a valuable asset to her clinic.
Patients also share
Constructive feedback is minimal across these reviews. One reviewer noted that while she listens well, she "does not provide great comments." Another mentioned that although she is a good provider, she is "not the best provider" they have used in the past, though still rated her as the best they've found recently. These isolated comments suggest a small opportunity for even more robust verbal feedback or engagement during visits, though this does not appear to be a widespread concern.
