I started seeing Dr. Adewale a few months ago, and shortly after he informed me that he would only be seeing patients on Saturdays. They tried to schedule my new appointment less than 24 hours from the date they called me (that upcoming Saturday). The doctor does not seem to care about me at all and is very unprofessional. He made sexist jokes about my previous provider's name, which made me very uncomfortable. It seems like he is just going with the flow, collecting paychecks. I have had issues with him writing me invalid prescriptions as well. Never have I had an issue with a doctor like I have with him. Now I have to try to find another provider while making sure I have enough of my prescription to hold me over for the time being. I am not sure what the issue is but their entire office is VERY unprofessional. I would avoid this guy at all costs.

Office on Duke St; I do not recommend this doctor and his practice. Had an appt at 8:00pm on a Friday night. Get there and they said they tried to reach me to cancel. No missed calls. Disorganized staff. Not the first time this has happened.

Four tries and his scheduler never DID call me back. You can't get directly in touch with the scheduler either - the call is answered by a receptionist who has to pass the message to the scheduler to call you back to make an appointment (whew!). Not sure where the break down in communication is.
