Bio
Ololade Akintoye, MD, is a physician with The Heart Center at Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. She is board certified in pediatrics and pediatric cardiology, and her clinical interests include perinatal/neonatal cardiology and noninvasive imaging.
Perinatal/Neonatal Cardiology
As a fellowship-trained and board-certified perinatal/neonatal cardiologist, Dr. Akintoye understands the very special needs of high-risk fetuses and premature and full-term newborns, as well as those already diagnosed with cardiac conditions and their mothers. She cares for babies with congenital heart defects, prenatal heart failure, irregular heart rhythms and more. Along with a team of pediatric cardiology specialists and others, she provides assessment, diagnosis and treatment for these littlest patients.
For expectant mothers with health conditions such as diabetes and lupus that may affect their baby’s heart development, she provides careful monitoring and appropriate treatment for mother and baby throughout pregnancy and childbirth.
What is an Echocardiogram?
One of the most valuable diagnostic and monitoring procedures Dr. Akintoye uses is an echocardiogram, also known as an ultrasound. This noninvasive procedure uses sound waves to produce images of baby’s heart and enables Dr. Akintoye to see how the valves and muscles of the heart are functioning and determine if there are heart defects.
Dr. Akintoye’s Training
Dr. Akintoye earned her medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee and undergraduate degree in microbiology from the University of Georgia in Athens, graduating with honors. She completed her residency in pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and a fellowship in pediatric cardiology at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. Most recently, she completed training in advanced cardiovascular noninvasive imaging and fetal cardiology at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta/Emory University School of Medicine.
About Dr. Akintoye
Dr. Akintoye has participated in research concerning hypertension in children and adolescents, cardiac transplantation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
She is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Cardiology, and American Society of Echocardiography.

This is a comprehensive list of insurances accepted at Orlando Health hospitals, outpatient services and physician groups. Be sure to contact your individual insurer to verify coverage. Not all providers accept the same insurance. If possible, check with your providers prior to your procedure or appointment to verify coverage.
Why do some Orlando Health physicians not have a patient experience rating?
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions, shown above, from our nationally-recognized Press-Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of Orlando Health.
Ratings may not be present for certain physicians of Orlando Health Physician Group and Orlando Health Physician Associates because:
- The physician has not yet met the minimum number of 30 patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display.
- They may be a researcher or type of provider that does not see patients.
- They may practice in a specialty or office that has not yet implemented the specified surveys used for these ratings.
