Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Listens to my concerns and is very kind.
I like the he answers all of my questions and goes over my health plan throughly. He references pictures so I am aware of how the solution work for me. He is a very kind person with a calm way of explaining my health plan.

Good doctor, hard getting a timely appointment
The visit was great. I had sent a message explaining that the next visit would merely be his ordering a sleep study so the referral to the sleep lab was submitted and I was able to complete the test before the office visit. This avoided an unnecessary visit and delay in my diagnosis. The visit with the doctor was good. He had the results of the sleep study to review in advance. Taking the initiative to get the sleep study done in advance is an example of why patients must advocate for themselves.

Dr. Adekolu and his staff are very efficient.
When coming to the office I was automatically greeted and told that they would like to see my CPAP machine. I waited only 5 minutes to be seen. The nurse took my vitals, and I was told the doctor would be in shorty and that he did. He came in with information downloaded from my machine. We discussed my options. The doctor asked if everything else in my life is ok. Then I preceded to the secretary where see gave my next appoinment. The visit was probably around 15 minutes. I'd like to thank the Doctor for his knowledge quickness and kindness as well as the staff that worked efficiently together. Thank You

Communication needs
He is a good physician who must accommodate his patients' diverse needs. I understand the purpose of wearing a mask in the office while meeting patients with chronic illnesses; however, it is difficult to communicate with a masked physician while wearing one. Patients need to understand their overall health accurately. Please be a little receptive to the patient's communication needs.

Sleep Apnea visit.
Took about 2 months to schedule a visit for a new patient to be treated for Sleep Apnea. This is not abnormal, however, after hearing about other doctor's availability. After transitioning from a previous doctor, I was a little surprised that we did not review my history more. However I have had no issues so I guess that a detailed analysis was not necessary.
