“I've had a great experience with this provider, who is great at listening, thoughtful with his responses, and communicates clearly with his patients. Dr. Makinde works with you to figure out what is going on behind the scenes and listens to your needs. He's quite understanding of the distress and situation his patients are going through and would be a great pillar to be able to lean upon.”
