Oluyemisi Afuape, M.D

Same story as everyone else. My son was born at Huntington Hospital in October, the 1^st time we saw the Doctor I had explained we wanted to wait to vaccinate our child at our family practicioners. He told my wife our baby would die without a HepA shot. Made her cry and stressed her out.
Our 2^nd visit was a wellness check up and once agian he fear mongered us into admitting our son to NICU. 3 days in the hospital and all they did was give him an I.V. the Nurses thank God don’t blindly follow his orders or it would have been worse.
I’m pretty sure 3 days for I.V. fluids is excessive for an adult imagine a newborns response. Allow me to clarify It wasn’t 3 days worth of fluids it was 1 bag followed by 2 days of raping and defrauding our insurance company. Descriptive words that come to mind include excessive, demoralizing, fraudulent and cold.
I would reccommend a class action suit for parents who have been persueded by this quack. Some Doctors are better suited for pandemic camps in 3^rd world war zones and some are suited for modern day hospitals. I think this one was misplaced.

I think the staff is the bigger problem. Susan (the lady that sits in the front) is rude and condescending. The MA is cold and talks like a robot. they rush you in and rush you out and you literally spend 3 – 5 minutes with the doctor. They documented my daughters immunizations incorrectly (she received 5 shots) and when I went back to have it fixed they claim they had only given her 2 shots and that I was wrong. I can count how many band aids I took off my daughter –_​– its safe to say she wont be going back. I hope they can fix they’re office, The actual Dr is actually not that bad.

I changed my baby’s pediatrician because it was pretty far for us and to top it off the Dr. and staff are pretty cold and unwelcoming. If they were of good quality I wouldn’t mind taking the drive but it was most definitely NOT worth it. Also they give a whole lot of vaccines at a time without explaining what they’re for or giving you the option to space them out. And like others have said it seems all he wants to do it advertise for companies that probably pay him to do so. My baby is now with a WAY better ped. and she’s awesome.

Never ever take your child to doctor Afuape,
He and his staff are so rude and they discriminate us probably because our baby has Medical. He was been treating us like shit for the past year and a half, and today I decided I couldn’t take it anymore and changed my baby’s doctor. He doesnt even greet to us and never makes eye contact with us and never answers my questions. He is always in a rush and never answers our questions. Me and my husband always felt like doctor Afuape and his staff were robots, not human. I think its his job to answer medical questions that are related to his patients. The lady at the front door has a very bad attitude. She yelled at us today just for asking a question. We were terribly shocked. And then we asked why she was yelling at us and she said we could go and find a different doctor. I wish I recorded or captured a video when she yelled at us. These people obviously dont like what they are doing, they hate their job or they just discriminate people who are not rich. The only reason I went there was because his office was close to us. I filed a grievance today and we are so GOING AWAY. I wouldn’t even recommend this doctor to my worst enemy.

horrible. zero stars. took 1.5 months to get an appointment. no free parking here! so bring ca$h with you. small:-, unclean waiting room with no air circulation. staff isn’t very friendly, but the doctor is worse. he walks in tells me my baby test came back positive for mrsa. (i already know about the disease) but the doctor didn’t explain it to me at all. the only thing he was «concerned» about was promoting some products. «tide free and clear laundry detergent» «aveno baby lotion» and some cream for scars. he said «just in case she scratches herself use this for the scars». do NOT take your baby to dr. aufuape. its a waste of time.

I only started going here because he was my pediatrician. Anywho, I always feel very rushed and as if I cannot ask any questions. The front desk lady (office manager) has very bad body odor. You smell it as soon as you walk in and throughout the office. I told one of the ladies about the smell our last visit because it seems as if the rest of the staff is just ignoring the situation. The staff person brushed it off and changed the conversation. Maybe she was embarrassed, but someone should really let the office manager know about her body odor.

worst experience ever with a doctor. as a parent you took half a day off, waited in the tiny room for an hour, you said hello to the doctor but he didn’t even have eye contact with you or hello back:(your child had a few issues that you would like to discuss with the doctor, he asked you to wait, he suggested one at a time. within a few minutes he said he’s going to set up for the x-​ray and asked us to wait in the room. I stopped the doctor and told him that there are another issue i may concern more of my child, he said we could discuss that later then he walk out. several minutes later the nurse came in with the paper work and asked us to take the blood test then wait for their contact to come back to discuss further. what about the x-​ray? where is the doc? no, there is no x-​ray today. the doc is gone. i looked at the time it was past 5:30. it is okay if you’re in hurry but be a gentleman come in to tell us! we have zero discussion on my child’s issue today… although i thought something may be quite emergency… parents’ concern:(

I am sorry my child was mistreated by Dr. Afuape for his first 18 months. We should have followed our instincts and walked away upon seeing the dirty office, but he was recommended at the hospital. Afuape repeatedly misdiagnosed our son as being anemic and prescribed iron drops for almost a year. However, he relied on inaccurate in-​office finger stick tests instead of lab tests. Later, he diagnosed a simple rash as scabies and insisted our baby must be doused with an insecticide and all our linens washed in hot water. When we tried to ask how the baby could get a parasitic infestation, while we did not, he literally put his hand up (talk to the hand) and told us, «I already told you what to do.» We rushed our young son to a dermatologist at once. The dermatologist was in disbelief that anyone could have told us our son had scabies. He told us it was a simple rash that needed no treatment. It went away on its own within 2 days. This was the last straw for us. We found a wonderful new doctor. She ordered lab tests that confirmed our son was not anemic. He was not to take any more iron supplements because they could harm his development. Our new doctor also did developmental assessments which Afuape never did during his checkups.
