Dr. Ayoola completed medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he was class co-president for the duration of his attendance. Then he completed his medical residency at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he received the IA Bigger award – the highest award bestowed to any surgical resident at his program. This is a testament to his integrity, leadership, teaching and clinical ability. He stayed at Virginia Commonwealth University for additional Fellowship Training in Bariatric Surgery and Minimally Invasive (Laparoscopic) Surgery. As such, he takes a minimally invasive approach whenever possible to ensure faster and less painful recovery for his patients after surgery.
