He is always in a hurry and you feel like a big inconvenience. Does not take the time to listen to you. I would go with someone else, someone who actually cares about you.

I was amazed by how professional and friendly their staff was. They went above and beyond what I ever expected. They never encouraged any of my negative behavior, and gave me plenty of helpful solutions for what I was going through. They were able to help me get of negative patterns and routines very quickly. Since I started visiting them over 8 yrs ago, I have been able to have a sense of hope in life and able to live with my conditions. I had trust issues all my life and Dr. Edward Ajayi has listed to all of my problems and offered nothing but positive solutions to help me. He also sees my underage son who he acts as a doctor and/or mentor to help him live with his medical issues. He counsels my son for behavior issues he had in school as well. He is very educated and cares for his patients and have been able to help us become stable on our road to recover more quickly than I would have been able to anywhere else. I was in a state of despair when I come to my very first doctor appointment to see Dr. E Ajayi, and I was homeless with my four children. I had lost my job and was on a state of feeling useless, but this doctor given me hope. He placed me on a plan with medications to help me and my life has been so much better. Now, 8 years later, my oldest daughter whom is 22 yrs old was only 14 yrs old has graduated from college with honors, my 20 yr old is considering the Navy, my 18 yr old will be enrolling in college to pursue her career as a Pediatrician, and my 17 yr old is stable on medicine and will be graduating soon from highschool. I have a new beautiful home and I am enrolling back in school for Nursing. This staff always make sure that they are available, and I've never had a problem reaching them in an emergency. They go above and beyond to work with the patient to make appointments. I know that I can always count on them. Before Dr Edward Ajayi I did not trust anyone. I had been sexual abused since a child. I was emotional and physically abused by my parents and had no connections to my siblings. Now, I am in a healthy relationship with my family and have forgiven my parents and working on establishing a healthy relationship with my parents. He showed me how to trust again and how to become an effective communicator to express my feelings in a positive manner. He was a God sent angel to our lives. I have visit them at several of their offices, including the office in Douglas County Mental Health in Douglasville, GA since 2006-present. The staff are amazing. Their offices was one of the easiest places to locate ever. I found it in minutes. He has many office locations to accommodate his patients. Since I moved, I was able to continue my services with him and now see him in his office in Smyrna, GA which is closest to my home. I love Dr. Edward Ajayi and his staff and my family and I will forever be so thankful for him and all of the services he has offered us. When my insurance did not approve my medicine, he helped me get a voucher to get my medicine until the insurance company evaluated the drug and with his help the insurance company eventually approved my medicine. He wrote letters to help me with my son and explain his disability. He also aid us in completing the documentation needed for SSA to get our benefits and he worked along side the Attorney on behalf of my son. I know in my heart if I moved out of state, I will still keep him as my physician and I will drive or fly back to this area just to get my medical services. He is one of those doctors that really cares and they do not come like him in this life time anymore. I highly recommend him to anyone. He listens. He cares. He shows compassion. He goes above and beyond to assists his patients. He honestly cares! Dr Edward Ajayi is the "BEST DOCTOR" ever!

Man was psychiatrist at local Douglas County Mental Health from 1996 to 2008--? I am a child abuse and neglect victim who has had gastroparesis (paralyzed stomach; no digestion) since 1985. Ajayi had wanted to take me off Reglan in 1996 because of its depressing tendencies that had not bothered me. In 1997 in my fifth weight loss arc, I dropped 40 pounds from 122 pounds back down to 80 pounds. Had to have first jejunostomy in May 1998 that stayed in six weeks. I had been maintained on antidepressant Wellbutrin since September/October 1991; at a weight back then of 79 pounds, come December 1994, I had shot up to 122 pounds.

In 1999, in addition to the antidepressant Wellbutrin I had tolerated NINE years, Ajayi put me on antipsychotic Zyprexa for its side effect of weight gain. This is what resulted from the Zyprexa:

1. Gastrointestinal bleeding 2000
2. A diagnosis of lymphocytic colitis--gastroenterologist took me off the Zyprexa immediately, but did not note Ajayi increased the Wellbutrin to seizure-inducing strengths PLUS had put me back on the Zyprexa come March 2001
3. Epileptic seizures June 2001 - last experience March 2004
4. A diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy nothing helped and the endless painful stinging in my feet 2001
5. Aggravation of my GERD 2001
6. A contraction of Scarlet Fever in December 2002; weight then 107 pounds
7. SEVERE DIZZINESS 2003
8. An atrophied intestine 2003
9. Weight LOSS from 107 pounds to 68 pounds 2003
10. NINETEEN doctors trying to keep me alive 2003
11. Three hospitalizations (March, August, October/November 2003)
12. A second jejunostomy and maintenance on liquid nutrition August 2003
13. After a WEIGHT-GAIN back to 92 pounds and clean of all drugs except Reglan and Ativan, given Zyprexa again in February 2004 resulted in me PASSING OUT in the bathroom from DIZZINESS
14. A busted left-wrist tendon from its contact with the bathtub, immediate loss of that hand and a De Quervains' Tenosynovitis to correct it June 2004
15. A month of physical therapy at local hospital to regain the use of my left hand July 2004
15. Rejection of my feeding tube and weight loss back to 80 pounds since introduction of Risperdal tablets to replace the Zyprexa in March 2004, followed by Risperdal Elixir July 2004, Valproic Acid in August 2004 and Depakote ER AND ZYPREXA in October 2004.

Finally having gotten the point of the Zyprexa that had torn my gut up since 2000 and brought me all these added problems, when I REFUSED to put this poison in my body again, followed by Ajayi's October 5, 2004 prescribing me of Zydus, which is also Zyprexa, rather than back up the truth I could NOT take this drug, my abusive family, refusing for nineteen years to believe gastroparesis is a real disease, kept their mouths shut to make me look non-compliant to drugs and in November 2004 used Ajayi's backing and the local hospital where my gastroparesis was diagnosed to set me up as bipolar, manic and destructive in the biggest lie ever, with my faithless church members having already bought the lie and dropped me three days earlier and the psychiatrist at the neighbor hospital where I was transferred taking my feeding pump, pole and formula away from me in staff's attempt to starve me back onto the Zyprexa-,Zydis--Lithium--Depakote ER--Valproic Acid and Risperal--all the antipsychotics Ajayi had wrongly attempted to feed me since my February 2004 return to his office and my weight back up to a healthier 92 pounds without being on his drugs. In addition to being humiliated and starved by everyone, I was dropped as a patient by every gastroenterologist I'd had in Douglas and Cobb Counties, including my Atlanta gastroenterologist and surgeon that had put in my second jejunostomy and in July 2004 recommended an 80% gastrectomy and Enterra Pacemaker that would have enabled me to eat, with both leaving me all through 2005 to local hospital ER physicians that knew nothing about gastroparesis and jejunostomy care. On August 1, 2005, an Atlanta gastroenterologist removed the tube I'd been rejecting since May 2004 with my weight back to 70 pounds and that GI convinced I was committing suicide.

In January 2009, I watched in pain as Eli Lilly paid out $1.42 BILLION to Zyprexa claimants and I wasn't one of them. In 2010, I watched "The Marketing Of Madness: Are We All Insane?" and 2005's "Psychiatry: An Industry of Death" in pain--anything calling an 80-pound person suffering the daily starvation of gastroparesis freely moving, manic and destructive with the physical strength of two well-fed men has to be a lie.

Because the TRUTH was all over the Internet I didn't have back then, followed by February 2005's invention of You Tube and fellow gastroparesis sufferers like myself that have popped up from everywhere and knowledge about gastroparesis, tests and solutions told by every GI and news media in the country and the lie turned back on my family and false church members SEVEN YEARS AGO, they have all since turned tail and run and thrown me into an apartment and left me to starve until I can no longer move in a county where I have no true friend and can't get any help from the local hospital and have made over 600 calls for help in the last five years that have gotten me nowhere.

If you want to have your life ruined by Edward Ajayi to this same degree of humiliation, abuse and final rejection by everyone to die alone sick, broke and isolated, see him at your own risk!
