I will be forever grateful as a patient of Dr. Onwuzulike for his compassion and medical expertise just two years ago. Heaven definitely gained a healer. I hope those who loved him are comforted knowing he made the world a better place. God Bless until you are together again.

I'm saddened to hear of Dr. O's passing. I worked with him briefly in 2018 and 2019, and met him at a neurosurgery meeting. He was so kind and cheerful - you could tell he was passionate about what he did and excited to teach and help others. Even though our encounters were brief he left an impression and I am so sorry for your loss.
