About Uchechukwu M. Obih
Rheumatologic diseases are a complex group of illnesses that can manifest in different ways and can potentially be debilitating to those they affect. Dr. Obih believes that thoroughness, insightfulness, and compassion are essential in not only making and treating a clinical diagnosis but in understanding the patient living with the diagnosis. Her patients are the center of her care, and are an integral part in her providing the best, up to date, individualized treatment plans. Outside of work, Dr. Obih enjoys spending time with family and friends.

Swedish Patient
I've had excellent care from this provider so much so that I have recommended Dr. Obih to my stepdaughter who has Lupus.
Swedish Patient
Dr. Obih provided compassionate expert rheumatology care which was appreciated. Her medical staff, both clinical and front desk were excellent as well.
Swedish Patient
I was very impressed with Dr. Obih . She listened to me, answered questions and was extremely helpful regarding bone density medications. One challenge was when I shared some of the symptoms I had I wasn't sure if she took me seriously because she didn't see those symptoms at that appointment. I had pictures of my low BP so she could see that. Living in a rural community I can't always get right in to get something checked out, like the red painful eye, which can make diagnosis harder. I don't think we can completely discount the possibility of a connective tissue problem. She did not give me any ideas on what is causing the fatigue, which is definitely disabling. Overall I think she is an excellent Doctor and I appreciate her input and insight.

Swedish Patient
Receptionist at Dr Obih's was very professional and friendly. Great attitude.
Swedish Patient
It is trying to meet a new specialist when dealing with an undiagnosed chronic condition. I felt very well taken care of and met as both a patient and as a person. The doctor was methodical, thorough, kind, and thoughtful. She asked in depth questions, also asking more than once which is amazing because it is hard to miss a detail that is important when you are at the long awaited appointment (lots of gate keeping for specialists/rheumatology). I left with a recommendation for a new direction, feeling cared for. Typically leaving a specialist who tells you "this is not the answer to your condition" it's a hopeless feeling, and back to square one, not this time. I hope that she gets to read this, I'm thankful for her, her incredible bedside manners and intelligent approach.
Swedish Patient
