The Truth About Dr. Mercy Odueyungbo

Even Howard Lee, the President of TLC Streaming and Network Originals, has high praise for the new doctor in town. "Dr. Mercy's personable and compassionate approach stood out and we can't wait for everyone to meet her," he said (via TV Shows Ace). Just why is Odueyungbo so beloved? Here's the truth.
Her patients love her

One patient raved, "Today was my first appointment with Dr. O. I was impressed right from my initial visit with the receptionist to the nurse and then the Doctor. I would highly recommend her and her staff! She is extremely knowledgeable and you truly get a sense she cares."
You can see the dermatologist's quality care unfold in a sneak peek of her new show. When attempting to treat a patient with a port-wine birthmark on her face, she says, "... I have to be very gentle because if she's not comfortable, I'm worried she's not going to come back again. And I really want to achieve the best outcome for her" (via People).
While many of us tune into these dermatology shows to see the most interesting skin conditions they showcase, it's also nice to see a doctor who cares for her patients the way Dr. Mercy does!
