Dr. Olabiyi has been hands down the best doctor ever. We met Dr. O at his old practice. We are so glad to find his new practice. We had to take my little boy to see him for a follow up. He was so understanding, he took the time to address the new concerns we had. I know that everything will be okay with my little boy. If you are looking for a pediatric cardiologist I would highly recommended him!!!
