November 5, 2025Initials hiddenVideo visit
I would not go back. I ended up having to move because I lost my job and he only gave me a 2 week supply of my medication. I contacted and asked him to accommodate my situation so I’d have time to find a new doctor but he never responded. 1 star
October 25, 2025Thomas D.Verified patientVideo visit
I will be honest. When we first got on the call, it felt a bit robotic due to the lack of comfortability as technically this is a stranger. As conversation continued and more engagement occurred, i felt very comfortable and grateful with the flow. Slow, steady, and satisfying. I strongly recommend and will refer to friends if needed.
October 15, 2025Darius H.Verified patientVideo visit
Well treated
Less than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
He listened to me which is hard to find in a psychiatrist, and he wants to make sure I'm safe with all my meds so going for tests to make sure the meds aren't doing any damage to my body. I appreciate that
Less than 1 year agoAilis C.Verified patientVideo visit
He was funny, down-to-earth, and very detailed with his questions. He made me feel safe to open up about the things that I've been struggling with so that I could get the help that I sorely need.

I really like this doctor. He was really nice, honest, and thorough. He is also very knowledgeable and compassionate. I will definitely recommend him, I will have my son see him again
April 15, 2025Phaedra E.Verified patientVideo visit
I would definitely recommend this Doctor. He was knowledgeable and asked the right questions at a time in my life when I felt I could not take another breath and desperately needed a kind ear and the right medication to stabilize me because trying to do it on my own wasn’t working. When too many things come at you in life, health, wealth, relationships, bullies or whatever the situation may be and life feels like a dark cloud and your mind won’t let you sleep, when it becomes to much to bare, pick up your phone or tablet and reach out to this man because he literally saved my life. He assessed me thoroughly and put me on exactly the right dosage and medication that lifted the darkness, finally let me get some much needed sleep and begin to see some light...it’s been a very long road. There is help out there, you just have to be willing to ask for it!!! Ask Dr. Olalekan Fapohunda for help and it just might lift your heavy burden or darkness and let in some light too!!!
March 25, 2025Crystal S.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr. O (that's what I call him) was amazing. I really felt heard for the first time and he was kind, professional, and funny. I am able to send him texts whenever necessary which is HUGE for me. I feel lucky that I found him and I feel like I finally have a chance to get better.

Awesome! Highly recommend
February 18, 2025Kathleen V.Verified patientVideo visit
Excellent physician! I was initially going through a very difficult time when I sought services. Emotional, vulnerable, and extremely anxious. Doctor reassured me that everything would be okay. Two months later, on a well thought out treatment plan, I am back to myself and doing extremely well. Very attentive doctor who answered all of my concerns with professionalism and compassion.

Dr. Ola rocks - I was nervous for my appointment to discuss some recent concentration and mood/energy issues I have been having. He was super easy to talk to, thorough, and I left the appointment with a game plan I felt great about. Definitely recommend!
