The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers. The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patient comments are gathered from our patient experience survey and displayed in their entirety. For the convenience of our visitors, some patient comments have been translated from their original language into English while preserving their original meaning as accurately as possible. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

Dr. Audu was exceptional. He introduced himself as Chris. He presented himself as someone who just wanted to help. He cared about the other issues I was dealing with in addition to the vascular issue and made sure they were being taken care of. He explained fully my situation and recommendations. I felt cared for as a human being.
Dr. Audu was so kind and friendly. He explained my situation thoroughly and options for moving forward. He listened to my concerns and addressed each one. I would recommend Dr. Audu to anyone needing vascular services.
Can't say enough good things about Dr Audu. He is great!
My relationship with Dr. Audu is one of the most important relationships in my life. He keeps me alive
Dr Audu was very confident and very direct with his thoughts and explained very cleary as to why he felt as he did. Drew diagrams so i was 100% informed and new exactly what he was saying.
Professional, courteous, good listener, offered options.
Dr Audu has to be one of the VERY, VERYBEST!!

Very personable, patient, and caring. Felt safe and heard. Great surgeon.
Very honest and straightforward. Listened to my concerns and gave his honest opinion on how to proceed from this moment forward. Much appreciated.
Very helpful and knowledgeable. Great bedside manner.
I will recommend Dr Audu to everyone. He took the time to explain everything to me and most importantly, he listened to me. When I am nervous, I am rather chatty.
I thank md audio for all he has done for me. Cleaning, making a bypass and putting stents in my legs,scraping and cleaning my upper vessel. And later assisting whit the operation to amputate my right foot.the total after healing process with continuous interest for the patients well being
Chris made me comfortable the moment we meet. He demonstrated a confidence that eased my tension. Explained why I was having this discussion about a blockage in a previous procedure. I don't have any symptoms right now and my health on this issue ok but needs monitoring. Chris was cautious but was not concerned it was not an immediate threat. I have had the best care from my past doctors and Chris was at the front of the line
Dr. Adau is very professional, friendly and cares about my well-being and explains everything to me in a way that I can understand. IÕm glad I was referred to him.
Good Doctor

After my first virtual visit with Dr. Adu I'm confident he can help me.
