About Me

I really love what I do. These patients are so sick, and it’s so good to see them eventually -- when their cancer gets treated, whatever heart disease they have gets treated -- and they’re feeling better and they’re doing better. It’s really very rewarding.

A Patient at RUSH University Medical Center - Sep 2023
Dr. Okwousa is the BEST OF THE BEST! She is caring, concerned, and a wonderful listener! She listens! She responds to every concern presented, no matter how trivial that may be. She has never presented a remote attitude..She participates actively in a conversation, with her patient whether the topic be about medical issues or non- medical ones. She laughs easily and always with a pleasant disposition. I am fortunate to have her as my cardiologist.
