    Dr. Babatunde was excellent! Beyond the fact that he was tremendously knowledgeable regarding his field, his bedside manner (along w/his awesome staff) was comforting & confident which put me at ease. He was not desensitized to my situation as many health care practitioners tend to be, and he has another rare quality that is very much so worth mentioning; he did not attempt to “up-sell” me just for the sake of generating greater revenue. I respect that. I will continue to see him for any health issues regarding my rickety knee as long as he is available, and should he relocate I will follow!

    K.D.

    I want to start off by simply saying thank you to Dr. Babatunde and his staff. I’d been dealing with chronic knee pain for some time due to meniscus tear which led me to have arthroscopic surgery. Dr. Babatunde and his staff did an amazing job on successful surgery but also prepared me with the knowledge on what to expect before and after surgery. I am truly thankful for all he has done, for not only the preparation and successful procedure but for the compassion and understanding throughout it all. Thank you.

    Dr. Babatunde is a wonderful doctor. He performed my surgery last summer on my knee a month before my wedding. While I’m still recovering, I couldn’t be happier with the process and care he gave me. Right before the surgery he kindly talked and calmed my then fiance’s nerves down before I headed in. Each time I have gone into a follow-up appointment he takes his time answering all my questions and makes sure I understand everything before I leave the room. He even makes the extra effort now to ask about the wedding. Highly recommended!

    C.P.

    Dr. Babatunde is a very important person in my life. He is the reason why I am walking healthy running and jogging up steps and I am able to help my siblings, mother, and friends. I honestly think Dr. Babatunde is an amazing person and he changes lives.

    M.E.

    Babatunde is the man. I appreciate this guy for what he has done for me. Besides being a great surgeon and an awesome orthopedic doctor. He will sit and talk to you and help you whether it is work-related or any documentation that you might need for work. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
