PATIENT EXPERIENCES

My experience with Dr. Babatunde has been exceptional. Being involved in several sports activities, I appreciate his expertise in helping me address any injuries that I have presented (as well as prevent injury) while still remaining active. Customer service provided by his staff is great !
Bonnie
Doctor Babatunde is a wonderful doctor. He performed my surgery last Summer on my knee a month before my wedding. While I am 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!
Cameron
Dr. Babatunde and his staff are awesome! They made me feel very comfortable during my visit and were very quick with attending me. I’d recommend them to all my friends and family!
Jose
I’ve seen a few orthopedic doctors. Dr. Babatunde is hands down the best! Excellent results from his surgery and his bedside manners are so kind and warm. You see him your getting star treatment guaranteed.
Natalie
Dr. Babatunde is a phenomenal surgeon. I would recommend any of my family and friends that are in need of surgery. His office is clean and easy to access. His staff was extremely professional and Dr. Babatunde was amazing from my initial consultation through pre op and post op and through my recovery. He’s an a plus surgeon as far as skills are concerned and you wouldn’t be able to find better. Thank you to Dr. Babatunde and his amazing team!
