Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

If you need a procedure like a hysterectomy, this is the doctor you need to see. Intelligent, caring, informative, and simply an OUTSTANDING physician. He will answer all of your questions and treat you with the utmost respect (as if you are his own family). I would recommend him to everyone and I cannot say enough good about him. -Regina M.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Olawaiye?
Dr. Olawaiye is amazing. He answered all of my questions in a way that I would understand them and had such a great amount of patience. I felt comfortable around Dr. Olawaiye from the moment I met him and he has a sense of humor while maintaining professionalism. I will finally be able to have peace of mind thanks to his confidence, experience, and intelligence. I was able to schedule an appointment for less than one week after calling. I was done with EVERYTHING in about 1.5 hours. Go to him!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Olawaiye?
This was my first experience with a gynecological oncologist, so I felt intimidated & overwhelmed. I assumed that I could quickly make an appt., but it took almost 3 weeks for my initial exam. It was difficult remaining calm for that long a period of time after first being diagnosed with cancer! I was relieved by Dr. Olawaiye's experience and professionalism. He spoke to me with empathy and respect, and helped to put things in perspective. I had 100% confidence in him as my doctor.
