Gbolahan O. Okubadejo, MD, FAAOS

Dr.Okabadeju in addition to his outstanding surgical skills (speaking from personal experience) also has outstanding people skills! He always has a hug if you need one & makes the time to answer any questions you may have about a surgery if he believes it will help your quality of life, your pain & your overall well being. If in his opinion surgery is not the answer to your problem then he does offer alternative procedures to help alleviate your pain & improve your quality of life. Dr.Okabadeju initially operated & repaired several vertebrae in my lumbar area of my back. Once healed from the surgery I was able to have a quality back to my life & was able to resume many activities I had given up for years due to horrible pain.
In a few weeks Dr. Okabadeju will operate on my neck due to a bone spur which has compressed the disc at C4 causing pain & limited movement. I have no doubt that Dr. Okabadeju's skills will once again give me back the best possible outcome & allow me to enjoy my life again. God bless him!
P.S. His staff are the sweetest & most competent group of people who go out of their way to make what is of course a stressful process as easy as they can for the patients!

I just wish that I had found Dr. Okubadejo sooner. I might have been spared two painful back surgeries. I had a 4 level disc fusion with the top surgeon at HSS which failed, I met with a spine-pain anesthesiologist for a spine cord stimulator implant which failed too because the leads have a much greater chance of failing/moving out of place as mine did after only 1 year. Enter Dr. Okubadejo and spine cord stimulator revision surgery.
Don't let anyone near your spine except a spine surgeon ever!! No need to go to NY.

Dr. Okubadejo is very calm, very skilled with a very impressive resume of education and training. I am confident that I was in the best of hands! JC is lucky to have him! The doctor's staff are lovely and personable as well as very professional!

Disc fusion should be a last resort after all other pain management options have been exhausted.
