In patients' words

"The 3 female receptionists are the worst and most unprofessional people in healthcare. They are rude, snarky, uncooperative and all around unpleasant to deal with."

— Birdeye (Advocate Medical Group Primary Care)

"Dr. Kayode is very kind and shows she cares for and respects her patients. I have felt more respected as a person and not just a list of medical issues with her than any other doctor."

— Healthgrades (Advocate Medical Group)

"Advocate found a way to charge us for two visits, one for the physical, and one for a 'medical visit' because they asked about our health and prescribed medications for allergies."

— Healthgrades (Advocate Medical Group)
