A young lady called and walked me to my room wearing a cropped top, shredded jeans and a pair of slippers. I asked her who she was and she stated that she was the medical assistant. Her attire was purely unacceptable and unprofessional. She looked like she was coming/going to a club. If there’s an office manager there please let the workers wear proper clothing when coming to work. This is supposed to be to be a health setting. UNBELIEVABLE
I have never felt as safe and cared for listen to and Dr o and hus staff Precious ,Katt and Gorge were like friendly family .

Very knowledgeable. And awesome bed side manner
Verified patient
Doctor Okubadejo is professional and knowledgeable- seemed empathetic considering the severe amount of pain I was in and explained nexts steps clearly - couldn’t get into any detail since I need an MRI first but felt comfortable that Dr Okubadejo seemed knowledgable and will continue my treatment here. Front desk staff Melina also very helpful and made the visit easier for me by getting me in for last minute X-rays before I saw the doctor all on the same day, which given the urgency of the pain I was in, I very much appreciated that. Would recommend.
I Was very pleased with my first appointment. The Dr. was very professional and answered all of my questions. I look forward to staying with him until my problem is resolved.
Verified patient
I really respect Dr. Okubadejo, he has really helped me. However, he is only in the Jersey City office on Tuesday and so I have to use my lunch hour to see him, which is fine except I wasn't seen until over an hour after my scheduled appointment.therefore I had to use unpaid time from work and also look bad to my employer. A couple minutes delay is acceptable, 60 plus minutes is not.
Friendly, very professional, caring, and explained in detail what test I have to get done in order to determine if surgery is needed or not. I have faith & trust any decision Dr. Okubadejo will give me. After I get better with my neck, then he will start treating me for my lower back. My husband & I left his office with such a relief because finally I found the right doctor that is willing to help me with my neck & back problems.
Verified patient
everything went smoothly
Excellent - put me at ease; explained things thoroughly; I was totally confident going into surgery - excellent results - no longer in pain. Wow! What a difference!
