How do I book an appointment with Dr. Njoku?

Request an appointment online via the booking link here, or call (443) 538-8400 in office hours and ask for Dr. Njoku. She sees patients in person in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., and by secure video across Maryland and the District.

What does a first appointment with Dr. Njoku look like?

A comprehensive diagnostic evaluation: an unhurried conversation covering what brings you in, your history and what else could be contributing. It ends with an honest assessment and a treatment plan you helped shape. Nothing is prescribed before that conversation has happened.

Does she work with families as well as individuals?

Yes. Her care spans individuals and families across the lifespan, and with younger patients the family is part of the plan rather than an audience to it. School coordination and family sessions are available where they help.
