She is like a breath of fresh air. She shows compassion and is not a "just the facts" type of doctor. She laid out the complicated transplant process in a clear manner without a need to create diagrams though I imagine she would be happy to do so if requested. Her manner is warm, patient and you know she gets how one is feeling. I like that she was straightforward. Has a sense of humor which is key. She provided the encouragement I needed. I left feeling that I am in very good hands. She is part of a team which is very reassuring to me.

Luckily, I don't know anyone in need of a hematologist/oncologist but if so, I would highly recommend Dr Adekola and the team of NWH not only for this specialty or anything else. For those living in Chicago, why would they choose to go to any less facility!?!??
