I feel that she was very warm, welcoming. I feel like she was a long lost aunt and I was just comfortable like she understood the complications of my day to day. Like she definitely takes time and consideration and she cares. It's not just a job. I definitely look forward to seeing her again.

This provider was extremely friendly with us, took took plenty of time to explain everything to us, and took plenty of time with our child.

Very nice seeing Dr. Adelekan. So sad we somewhat are kicked out of the practice, but very understandable why. Since the start of the pandemic pediatric mental health has declined and the waitlist to be seen at this practice is sooo long, but definitely worth the wait. They only want to accept the worst of cases. Over the years they have been phenomenal.
