We have always received the best care at Children's ! Thanks for everything.

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.

They treat me very well and listen to me well and they take good care of me, just like my child.

This appointment was a very scary thing to walk into, but Dr. Adelekan was the most caring, the most thorough, and we couldn't have asked for a better doctor to have this first step into our new world of autism. So I'm glad that's who we saw, and I look forward to continuing to see her.
