Dr Ojo basically saved my life with the speed of implanting a defibrillator and performing ablation. I was at death's door and I am here today because of his expertise and quick action to fit me in during the covid outbreak. I will be forever grateful to him and the great medicine practices of UR Medicine. Thank you all....
