Getting to know Azuka Ofodike
Welcome! I am a Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey-educated, Board Certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master’s in Adult Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing, specializing in medication management and psychotherapy. My over 10 years of clinical experience enable me to address both personal and systemic challenges faced by each individual. I take cognizance of the whole person in my treatment approach, emphasizing every aspect of individual functioning and existence. In doing so, I formulate a unique and integrative treatment plan tailored to enhance the adequate functioning of all individuals I encounter.
This approach is rooted in my belief that, given equal time and opportunity, every person has the capacity to heal and enjoy a fulfilling and dynamic life. This journey may be difficult due to obstacles and feelings of helplessness encountered in daily life and relationships. Together, utilizing effective medication and talk therapy, we can transform your experience and help you live the life you have always wanted—in a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. I stay knowledgeable about the latest developments in mental health treatment and will work with you to create a personalized plan that addresses your specific needs. A trial will convince you!

Didn't seem Interested at all. No sign of compassion or empathy. No therapeutic qualities just prescribes medication

She introduced herself as a nurse first then as the psychiatrist very confusing.

Rude doctor, not great bedside manners. Difficult with scheduling.

Not worth it. She just wants to hang up the phone and get the money.

Very patient with me, since this my first time seeing a doctor by video means. I highly recommend this doctor and look forward her treatment with me.

If I could give negative stars, I would. My first appointment with this therapist had to be rescheduled due to an emergency on her part. That was fine. Today I showed up at her address for scheduled appointment, I couldn’t find office on the 3rd floor. I Called and text numbers on her page. She called me back 30min after the schedule appointment time stating, she doesn’t do in person sessions. Then ask to do it on the phone,while she was half sleep. I tried, but she was clearly half sleep. This was person was unprofessional and had no regard for me as a patient.

I have seen this doctor twice, over the phone. Overall, it seemed very unprofessional and she was a bit late. But this is not even the worst part. The two times I saw her, I just needed a simple prescription refill. The first time she told me she called it in, so the next day, I go to my pharmacy and they tell me it was never called in. So I call Ofodike and she calls it in. Then at our next appointment, she tells me she'll call it in. She didn't. And I was out of pills at this point. I call her and she gets angry at me saying she already submitted it but would do it again. I had to call her and the pharmacy multiple times before the pharmacy finally received the prescription. For someone whose only job was to refill my prescription, she is awful. Do not waste your time or money. Additionally, she put in my birthday wrong so I had problems at the pharmacy and accessing my prescription information.

Find a doctor who actually cares about treating you, and doesn’t just view this as a means to a pay check. Having the wrong doctor can sometimes be more detrimental to you than no doctor at all.

Had an excellent first time experience. Azusa Ofodike listen carefully to my issues and provided me with a plan to follow up with. Was very kind and attentive to my problem. I would recommend her care to others.

I spoke to a Azuka Ofodike. I was amazed with how professional and down to earth this human being was. Not just a women of medicine but a clear communicator and excellent listener. The bedside manner was amazing I felt like I was speaking to a Respectful Hotel Manager. This Healer will be forever a part of my team.
Thank you Doctor.
I always say trust but verify.
Verified. I would give you a galaxy worth of stars for this review. Thank you Zoc Doc.

Never schedule an appointment with this therapist. She was absolutely no help at all. Pretty much told me to keep doing what I’m doing. Then just asked about payment. It was a waste of time and money. She had no empathy.

Great first tele visit! Thanks
August 15, 2020Patricia M.Verified patient
I really do not understand the processes of psychotherapy, but I had a 24min phone conversation with this Doctor and I was charged my copay for her to take my insurance information. No session and when the conversation was over I felt as if she could not wait to get off the phone. I'm not someone who really need therapy but was looking for a more unbiased view of life aside from friends and family. Maybe she'll workout for someone else and I hate reading views.

She was very nice to talk to. She took the time to listen to my concerns and what I was experiencing. She also took the time to discuss treatment plan and medications.

I’ve been to a therapy office before and thank god because my experience at this office was absolutely horrible. The doctor was cold and only was interested in prescribing medication. She sat behind a desk behind a monitor and asked me questions from a questionnaire and had no interest in why I was really there. The receptionist was the only highlight as she was attentive and professional. If you are looking to unpack some of your behaviors DO NOT come to this office!!!!!!

Let me start off by saying this was, THE WORST EXPERIENCE I COULD’VE IMAGINED. My appointment with this therapist was, Dec 13, 2019. I, arrived on time for my appointment 10 mins prior and wasn’t seen until 25-30 mins after my appointment. When I finally walked into the therapy room, it was literally in my opinion a 8’ x 10’. The lighting was bright and no couch or comfortable seating but a office chair directly in front of her desk, felt like a interrogation. She then asked once I was seated what I was there for and in the brief minute or two I explained, she only proceeded with medical history questions that could’ve been answered from a first time client sheet. While she’s asking these questions her secretary and “shadower” were in the next room having a loud enough conversation I couldn’t even hear myself think. I was so disturbed within 5 mins, I stayed an additional 10 mins to see if she would address the disturbance, but she NEVER did! I will never go back to her nor would I recommend.

Made an appointment for “behavioral therapy” which it doesn’t appear this doctor actually does. I showed up and all she did was ask about my medicine and send me off

Excellent. I always receive great treatment from Dr. Azuka Ofodike. She is very caring, understanding. She has helped me a lot.

I made an appointment ten days in advance. I took an uber from several towns away and when I arrived at the office no one was there. I called her and she explained that she needed to cancel the appointment and had called my about an hour before the appointment and left a message. I was at work and do not check my personal phone while at work. I took time off of work for the appointment and spent close to $30 roundtrip and was not seen. She could have sent a text message, an email or sent notification through the app, but instead canceled the appointment without confirmation that I had received the message.
