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.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Chinonyerem Okwara receives overwhelmingly positive feedback, with patients consistently praising her as an exceptional listener who makes them feel heard and respected rather than rushed or judged. Reviewers frequently highlight her caring, compassionate, and patient demeanor, along with her professionalism and deep knowledge of psychiatric care. Many appreciate that she thoroughly explains treatment options, involves patients in decision-making, and tailors solutions to their individual needs. Several reviews specifically note her thoroughness in reviewing medications, her careful monitoring of controlled substances, and her ability to provide actionable, research-based recommendations. Patients also value the extra time she gives during appointments, with one reviewer noting she stayed late to address a full list of concerns without making them feel like "just another number."
Patients also share
Constructive feedback was minimal, but a few reviews pointed to areas for improvement. One review mentioned that while she listens well, she "does not provide great comments," suggesting a desire for more verbal feedback during sessions. Another single review noted it was too early to judge after just a first appointment. A few reviews gave more modest ratings (in the 3.1–4.2 star range) without much explanation, and one patient commented that while she's good, she wasn't the best provider they'd ever had, though still the best they'd found recently.
