I appreciate the staff at the development clinic. Everything was seamless and easy! Our PCA was great with my daughter and answering all our questions and setting the foundation before we seen Dr.Adelekan. Dr. Adelekan was amazing! She listened and care about Every concern we had! She made sure we understood everything she was saying and then engaged with my daughter on her own before giving her opinions on things. We appreciated everything so much and she eased our nerves in a lot of areas of concern we had!

Dr. Adelekan was patient and compassionate in dealing with my anxieties about my child's potential diagnoses. She was clear and precise in her explanations but also used humor and examples to help make sure I understood.
