The office is dated with old chairs and peeling paint. To get access to the dated office you have to walk down a creepy corridor, through broken doors to access the office. There's no pleasant greeter when you arrive and are only pointed to a computer where someone does a virtual check In. The wait time is horrendous, making us wait for over an hour, only to be seen for five minutes. Dr. Apeatu seems disheveled and his office was not sanitary as he didn't even change the paper sheet for my child from his precious patient. I will not recommend this office nor doctor to anyone.
