I am happy with the service you've provided. However, why Is It okay that you can prescribe metformin, novolog, lantus, etc..? But the pharmacy says you are not authorized to give me the libra 3 sensor. They decided I needed to see a specialist ( I DO ) and I can"t get something you say I should have. 4 times this sensor has alerted 2 high and 2 low and I would have only thought I was feeling sick. Thank you

Dr. Fakunle does a very comprehensive and thorough examination that encompasses my hypothyroidism, my one remaining parathyroid gland and my difficulty in gaining and retaining body weight.

Every time I've been to Dr. Fakunle it's always this way. Everybody is polite, friendly, and helpful. My condition fluctuates and is on the edge of surgery. Dr. F is keeping track of my labs, also the tests from my other specialists. She's explained my upcoming options every time I'm there and is always upbeat about it, for which I'm grateful. I've got many conditions, among which is congestive heart failure. I'm not a good candidate for surgery. Dr. Fakunle always assures me there are still other options available, and what they can be. I'm really glad she's not one of those doom-and-gloom people who give you the impression they're only there to keep you hanging on to dear life. I appreciate the whole crew at Dr. F's office.

I previously had a problem with another specialist from a different hospital group that I couldn't get resolved. Dr. Fakunle's office provided a copy of lab work that was needed to complete the other doctor's prescription approval. I don't believe I could have gotten satisfactory results without Dr. Fakunle's help.
