Was rude and aggressive over the phone when referred to him questioned why I’m leaving my current psychiatrist multiple times as if I had to show proof because I’m unhappy where I am. Guess it is a lot harder to find someone who can help and show empathy towards someone trying to seek help in the medical field.

Dr. Joe Idowu is very professional and straight forward. He is easy to talk to and you can tell that he is there to help out the patient indefinitely. I am blessed to have had an appointment with him and look forward to working with him. THANK YOU DR JOEL.

He is easy to talk to ad very patient. I ever feel rushed, and he is flexible when scheduling appointments, even though he is a very busy man. Highly recommend

Dr. Idowu is great. He is always on time, very knowledgeable, spends time with me, provides counseling & medicine (unlike most Psychiatrists). He makes good recommendations, and he is always patient (even though he is busy and has a tight schedule). I dont remember how I was referred to him, but he is great.
