Meet Dr. Bankole Osuntokun
Dr. Bankole Osuntokun pediatric gastroenterologist, provides care, diagnosis, treatment and education for children and adolescents with diseases and disorders of the digestive system.
The entire gastroenterology department has been such an amazing team to work with for my son's care, but Dr. Osuntokun has been nothing shy of a miracle for my son. He goes above and beyond always, and seems to understand my son's condition and complexities so well he 'speaks his language' as we say often when trying to explain it to other providers. I am so resoundingly grateful for the amazing care my son receives from Dr. Osuntokun and the Cooks GI team. You guys are THE BEST! Hands down. Thank you so much for all you do! – Patient family

This was a very important appointment as my son is now 17 and learning to be responsible for his healthcare. It meant a lot that Dr. Osuntokun spoke patiently and kindly in understandable terminology, so my son could fully understand his condition. Additionally, this was supposed to be an in person appointment, but my son came down with a fever. I really appreciated the office staff Helping us pivot so that we did not have to reschedule.

Dr. Osuntonkun is our daughter's favorite doctor! He greets her with a big smile and she always looks to see what fun, decorative socks he is wearing! On our daughter's last visit, he had puppy dogs. As a mom, I like Dr Osuntokun's bedside manner, direct answers as well as how he answers our daughter's questions. A++ patient satisfaction!
