It's easy to give Dr. Okundaye a perfect 10 out of 10. Not only was she the epitome of professionalism _ knowledgeable, thorough, and efficient _ but she also made me feel genuinely cared for as an individual. She listened attentively, explained everything clearly, and took the time to address all my concerns. It's rare to find a doctor who combines such expertise with such a personal touch, and it made all the difference in my visit.

This was my first time meeting with Dr. Okundaye. She was a delight the minute she introduced herself-apologizing for the delay AND admitting she was doing more homework about my health history bringing me to her in the first place. She demonstrated strong knowledge about her specialty clearly explaining certain questions in layman's terms. We had such a good rapport not only pertaining to my challenges, but about other pertinent topics relating to my personal health.

-Dedicated and determined to find the root -works well with other doctors regarding my care -unbelievably patient and explains everything in detail does not mind answering questions -Truly shows that she has empathy and care for her patients - Overall for other doctors that's strange. She will keep looking into it until she finds out what it is. She is a complete gem for NORTHWESTERN.

Dr. Okundaye is exceptional at listening to patients! She heard all of my symptoms and issues with my body, kidneys, etc and ran a series of tests that have possibly identified an autoimmune disease, that I've apparently had for quite some time. She is the 1st doctor in my history to actually listen, put pieces together and want to help resolve my health issues.

External Professional Relationships
