We love Dr. Olefade. He is very caring and very professional. He is the best at patient care. He is an asset to the Emory Healthcare Organization and Medical field altogether.
Doctor was 30 minutes late and was more concerned with establishing that I was incorrect in my description of my pain than acknowledging what I have been told by other Emory doctors/staff.
Very professional and took time to explain in detail and asked if I had any questions.
Dr Olufade thoroughly explained my situation to me.
Best EHC physician. Manages a great care team
Always great
Dr Olufade is the best of the best. He is caring, attentive, and shows true concern for you as a person and his patient. He instills confidence from the very start. He genuinely listens to your symptoms and thoroughly explains your options. He never makes you feel rushed and he answers every question you may have. He works with you to determine the best path to your feeling better. I cannot recommend Dr Olufade enough.
The doctor and his staff were very attentive and responded to all of my concerns.
They checked all the boxes. Great care team.
Dr. O was very informative about my medical problem. And he explained my treatment options. Thank you.

Excellent Doctor always informative
Good
Attentive to my concerns
No bad issues
He is trying very hard and sincere. Only problem is my pain is still there.
I have long appreciated how Dr. O's candor as well as willingness to figure out what doesn't appear to be obvious. I appreciate that he Is honest when diagnostics don't directly support complaints but isn't dismissive but rather applies curiosity to find the missing puzzle piece. He's also one of the only providers who I have had who openly acknowledges likely impacts of perimenopause and how to alleviate that impact.
Dr Olufade is an EXCELLENT physician.Very professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and caring.
Always good
I have a few family members that received care from Dr. Olufade and all happy with how facilitates care.

Dr. O is excellent. He is so thorough with the exam. He explained the XRay findings and then made sure the ultrasound display was so I could understand everything that he saw. He explained everything and made it easy to understand.
My medications have still yet to be sent to my pharmacy my appointment was 9am. I emailed him around 5pm. No response. I
Dr Olufade is second to none. His willingness to listen and desire to help coupled with his vast medical knowledge is the perfect combination. He is generous with his time and truly cares about finding solutions to ease your pain and to get you back to doing the things you love.
I've already recommended him to several people.

I LOVE Dr Olefade! Gets me worked most times and takes REAL interest in my situation.
During this visit, the physician assistant was extremely rushed. When she spoke, it was as if she was compelled to read from a script with the aim of exiting the room as quickly as possible. In contrast, during my first visit, the physician assistant was extremely helpful.
It was so perfect, thank you so much for your kind help, I really appreciate it, thank you and please just keep it up, thank you
While a referral was made to determine a possible blood clot, I thought that the physician could have discussed next steps while I was there in order for me to ask additional questions for responses to him.
Dr. Olufade explained each step of the procedure. He reviewed the diagnosis and treatment plan before starting. Dr. Olufade explained each action before starting. He frequently asked about my comfort and if I had questions throughout the procedure. I have confidence in the provider and in his staff members.
Good

Will recommend to anyone in need of excellent care!
Since appointments were running behind, mine felt a little rushed. I didn't really have time to process the information and ask questions at the visit. I think this was just unfortunate timing because I haven't had issues with feeling rushed here in the past.
Dr. Olufade is excellent, he answers all questions, provides very detailed explanations about the injury and treatment options, always prepared and is totally present during the visit. I have referred him to my wife and a good friend.
I wanted a 2nd opinion and this appointment was so much more informative than the other office I went to. I will no longer go back to anyone else. Best in class here!
The doctor was very knowledgeable and helpful.

The doctor gave me all the information I needed to decide on the right course of treatment for my knee pain.
There are not enough words to describe Dr.O's level of care and ability to use medical terminology in a way that I could understand.

Excellent service
Dr Olufade has my complete confidence. He lets me know what to expect from the PRP n helps me understand what the next steps might be. The jury is still out on how well my hip will respond to the recent PRP. Might need surgery but I will wait a few more weeks before I pull the trigger. I am still flying the Nigerian flag.
Dr Olufade was kind and inquisitive, explaining things well, and sure to ask if I had additional questions. I definitely want to recommend others see him!

Dr. Olufade is a dedicated caring doctor. He is extremely competent. He discovered my problems after 20 years of going from one doctor to the other with no solution. Dr. Olufade found the problem and providing the appropriate treatment. I am extremely proud of him.
I had many questions pre and post procedure but given loopiness from pain killer and pain post injection I was not able to discuss further nor was the opportunity really presented
Dr o is very informed and great with answering questions. Amazing Dr
He is really an excellent and caring Physician
Dr Olufade very helpful in my decision to choose PRP over hip replacement surgery Helped me understand why PRP made me feel"bad " for a few weeks
Dr. Olufade was thorough and clear in his explanations of my condition. Best of all, he was open, and fully responsive, to all my questions. I wish all my doctors were as receptive as Dr. Olufade.
The level of pain was affecting my sleep and day-to-day activities. Dr. O listened, asked questions, reviewed the x-rays, and ultrasound. Upon his diagnosis, he thoroughly explained what this meant, the causes, and treatment options. After deciding the next course of action, Dr. O shared the expected outcoming and provided literature, and next steps for treatment. It left feeling heard and very well attended to.
Discrepancies between Dr and trainer as far as what was told post procedure and costs. When I told trainer that there was a discrepancy, she became rude. I will not be seeing Dr Olifade in the future and will be seeing Dr Mason if I even stay at Emory.
Great doctor!
Dr was very nice. Listed my options for care but didn't really give me a strong opinion on a particular direction or course of action he basically laid it out and let me decide next steps. I didn't think to ask what he would recommend as next steps which I should have. But when I suggested the PT route he was supportive. In my defense I haven't had this issue before so I was seeking direction and should have been more direct with asking. I will know better next time.
Dr Olufade is the Best I might fly the Nigerian flag at my house
Dr O is simply tge best.
Dr. O and his PA, Jeremiah were thoughtful and considerate with their examination of my back and the explanation of my condition.
He is to the point and caring
I would recommend Dr. Olufade to anyone! He is very thorough and explains everything in a way that a non-medical person could understand.
Great job
Dr. Olufade is always thorough and courteous. He keeps me informed in every process and procedures that he does.
Very tentative ear, not in a rush to get to the next patient.

I remember the provider talking to me about my treatment, options or risks.
Dr OLUFADE always explains things. He cares and treats me kindly, with respect.Great doctor
