"do NOT RECOMMEND!! Dose not listen to parents acts like he has someplace better to be! He will not accept non vaccinated children!"

"After asking about a delayed vaccine schedule, this doctor proceeds to say that the increased rate of autism is based on a large scale of mothers misusing recreational drugs while pregnant..... excuse me? Where is that case study?? And for the record I'm NOT anti-vax! Just interested in a delayed schedule for a strong genetic line of auto immune disorders. But seriously this is the stupidest comment I've ever heard an educated man make! Shame on you!"

"I am appalled and offended by these accusations towards Dr. Ajayi. He is a wonderful doctor with knowledge of pediatric care that spans the universe. If he reported potential mistreatment of a child to authorities, it was with good reason. I actually feel more comfortable knowing that he has such high standards for the care of a child. I already knew he did from the moment I met him. I do not feel comfortable with any other pediatrician caring for my three children. Especially having a child with health issues. If you are looking for a doctor that not only understands the development of children but also understands their health needs, you've found the right doctor. I recommend him 1000 percent for any parent who wants and needs their children to be cared for as you would if you were a medical doctor. I would like to also touch on the low income topic. My three children all have Medicaid and I have felt no bias as to my financial situation. I believe this is an insecurity that is misguided. Money does not change ethics and dignity, which Dr. Ajayi has in spades. I can only speak to my knowledge of ethics and from what I understand, to become a medical doctor, especially one who cares for children, money plays no part in the care they give... ethically. This is just a preconceived idea that continues to separate us. We have to have trust. We have to learn to trust the people who have dedicated their lives to caring for us."

"Dr. Ajayi is fantastic! He's extremely personable and kind, and also very silly which my kids loved. He took time to build rapport with my sons before the examination, and was also patient and listened to my concerns. He seems very knowledgeable and I trusted what he was telling me. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a pediatrician."

"Dr. Ajayi has been my son's pediatrician since he was born. He has always been very respectful towards me and nothing short of kind and warm to my son. He listens to me about my concerns and explains things in a way that eases my mind, especially at our most recent appointment. I really couldn't ask for a better pediatrician to treat my son. I see a lot of reviews from people who don't seem to understand that as a doctor, he is a mandated reporter and must act regardless of personal feelings. He is not personally responsible for the actions of DCFS or the state. He's an excellent, caring physician and unless you've personally had a bad experience from him, keep your opinions to yourself."
