Ivy-Joan Madu, Md's Online Review Report Card Is this you? Claim your profile

Dr. Madu has been my doctor for 13 years. I went to her after Thyroid cancer surgery at the urging of my surgeon. My original endocrinologist didn't want me to have I-131 (radiation) after my thyroid cancer surgery "because 97% of people with your kind of cancer live". Well, what if I was in the 3% who DON'T? He simply refused to give me I-131, and I was terrified. Dr. Madu immediately ordered I-131 therapy for me and I have been with her ever since--even though I now live 40 miles away. She is not only a great endocrinologist, but she is one of the kindest people I've ever met. You can tell when she urges you to do something that she actually CARES about your well being. Even though I live some distance away, I will keep Dr. Madu as my endocrinologist--it's hard to find doctor's who actually care. I would urge anyone in OC who needs an endocrinologist to choose Dr. Madu.

I am a 4th year medical student that rotated in Dr. Madu's office for several months. During my rotation, I clearly saw that Dr. Madu had a great relationship with her patients and staff. Dr. Madu is very kind and truly cares about her patients. She takes the time to listen to their needs and treat each patient with their best interest at heart.

I first came to see Dr. Madu a dying man with uncontrollable diabetes and no long term thoughts of ever seeing my grandchildren. She took control of my disease, gave me the tools to manage my blood sugar and gave me back my life. On the day of my first Grandsons birth as I'm walking into the hospital I literally run into Dr. Madu. The Lady who made my being there possible. She applauds my accomplishments, but doesn't hesitate to chastise me when I have back sliced. She makes me feel like my care is up most on her mind. Last night she called at 7:30pm to check on if I understood correctly our new plan and meds to keep me healthy. Who does this anymore? She is not only a great Doctor but a wonderful person. My two GrandBoys are now 4 and 5. I enjoy every moment with them. And I plan on being here for the birth of their children with the help and guidance of Dr. Ivy-Joan Madu.

Dr. Madu is a good Endocrinologist and I've seen a few to compare her too. I've had Graves diesae for a few years now and it takes eating well and taking herbs to help with this problem. You can not depend on a physician to heal you with medicine... and then get upset and leave bad reviews because you aren't doin your part to be healthy. Dr. Madu listen well and takes her to figure out the how to help people with thyroid complications. She is soft spoken and she goes the extra mile to help her patients but YOU... have to also help yourself... research what you should NOT eat with a thyroid problem. Doctors aren't God!

I absolutely love Dr. Madu. I have been going to her for about 4 years now for my Thyroid and she is amazing. I see a lot of people going in and out the office every time I see her for my follow up appointments. She's very friendly and listens and gives good advice on what to do to keep ur health up. I would definitely recommend her for ur specific health needs that she specializes in.

Love Dr. Madu and her Staff! Natalie at the front desk is Amazing always willing to help and no matter how many times you call because you are confused with the appointment she'll always answer with a very sweet voice! I love Them! Don't hesitate to call for an appointment! The Dr. takes her time with each patient and explains everything so well! Thank you for Existing Lady's

Dr madu is a class act all around. How many doctors do you go to today where you wait and sir around for way after your scheduled time? Not here. She is always on time. She is very compassionate about you and your health and how what she recommends will impact you and your family-all for the better Easy parking as well. Would recommend her every day

Dr. Madu is wonderful! She is so experienced and has a very calm spirit about her that is always great to be around! I always look forward to seeing her for my visits.

Dr. Madu has been my doctor for a very long time. She is professional, kind, attentive and thorough. The staff is wonderful as well. I'm never uncomfortable when I'm there.

Even though this office is rusty and old, I continue to return because I really like Dr. Madu. She always asks about my family and is very sweet and patient. She's actually more thorough than my primary care physician, making sure that all aspects of my health are taken care of whenever we start new medicine or increase doses. Even though orange isn't so close to my home office, I like Dr. Madu so much that I don't mind commuting. Sometimes the wait can be long but I understand that she's a busy doctor and am lucky to have her!
