Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Oladeji is the only doctor I have had a very positive experience with over the last 3 years. I was so please that I made him my PC. He takes the time to explain your situation and if he is unsure of the answer he will do everything to work with other doctors to get you the answer. I have not seen this from any other doctor. They just want to give you a pill to mask the issue and you never get an answer as to why you have the issue.I had a little scare and went to the emergency room. At that moment I gave them oladeji as my PC because I was not confident in the one I had. As soon as I gave his name the ER doctor said 'Oh he is very good'. That gave me some comfort. I ended up getting admitted and he showed up at my bedside that evening to explain everything that was going on. He has great bed side manner. I can't understand why anyone would say otherwise.

I ALWAYS REFER AND RECOMMEND, HE'S THE BEST
DR OLADEJI ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL THAT I AM IMPORTANT, NEVER RUSHES ME IN AND OUT OF THE OFFICE. ALWAYS ASKS IF I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I ALWAYS DO, HE LISTENS AND TAKES THE TIME TO ANSWER THEM ALL. HE WAS NEVER A MIA DOCTOR WHEN I WAS HOSPITALIZED LAST YEAR. CAME IN , IN THE EVENING TO GIVE ME TESTS RESULTS, WHO DOES THAT. AFTER HOSPITAL STAY, HE CALLED NEXT DAY TO SEE HOW I WAS.

Terrible Bedside Manner
As per some reviews I had seen I was excited and very much so looking forward to my consultation with Dr Oladeji unfortunately this visit was everything but helpful to say the least. Dr Oladeji has been in practice for many years and he is apparently tired of his profession as he stated 3 times during his visit that he is “no longer interested in doing ‘XYZ’ at this point in my career” and that “it doesn’t matter to me” when it came to questions about steps moving forward with my condition. He has HORRIBLE bedside manner, is extremely dismissive, combative, and most importantly does not answer questions at all. You make an appt to gain comfort and insight and he provided ZERO. Do NOT recommend.

Highly recommend
Dr. Oladeji is an incredibly caring doctor. He listens to his patients and is kind to his staff. He is extremely thorough and determined to get to the bottom of his patients issues. I believe he saved two of my family members and is now treating me as well. When I called for an appointment he actually answered the phone and wanted to know what was going on with me and promptly fit me in for an appointment. His staff is wonderful as well.

Dr. Oladeji is the best doctor I've had in my 77 yrs. I used to live in NYC and had some of the 4 and 5 star doctors there. He is better than the best of them. He listens carefully, is personable, reasonable, an excellent diagnostician, diligent and also caring. He will work until he has an answer. I have had him originally as my cardiologist and then as my internist for 12 years. I think the most important quality one can have in a doctor is trust and I trust him completely. Also, his staff, Linda, being their manager are some of the finest people: efficient, likeable, friendly and also trustworthy.

I, sadly. made a terrible mistake. I felt the trip up to see Dr. Oladeji was getting to much for my husband . He's losing his sight. It was the mistake of a lifetime. We cannot find another Cardiologist, Doctor, friend like him. I feel we will never again. Dr. Oladeji showed brillance, knowledge and love and care he gave to us. We tried calling his office to ask if Dr. Oladeji would reconsider our mistake and we were refused. I do not blame them. I am so sorry for this terrible mistake. Believe me, before you quickly trash this wonderful man, be very cautious, You wiil never find another Dr. Oladeji or Linda, or people on his staff again. I wish we weren't so hasty.

I am a 44 year old male that developed Atrial fibrillation in 2014. This was and still is one the scariest things I’ve had to deal with in my life! But with the excellent care that I have and continue to receive from Dr. Oladeji, it has given me the confidence to manage my Atrial fibrillation outside of his care. For the past 12 years Dr. Oladeji has been my cardiologist and internal medicine doctor and has given me the best medical, professional bedside manners, overall service that’s second to none!!

DR. OLADEJI SAVED MY LIFE! I AM 64 AND WAS STRUCK BY COVID-19 WITH EXTENSIVE BILATERAL COVID PNEUMONIA AND AFTER A WEEK AT HOME (DOING WHAT I WAS TOLD) I GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I COULDN'T BREATH. I SPENT TWO WEEKS IN RARITAN BAY MEDICAL CENTER. THE DOCTORS AND MEDICAL STAFF WERE OVERWHELMED BUT I GOT EXCELLENT CARE. THERE WERE PATIENTS ON VENTS FAR WORSE OFF THAN I. DR. OLADEJI WAS THE ONLY PHYSICIAN NOT AFRAID TO STAY IN MY ROOM TO EXPLAIN THE PLAN OF ACTION FOR ME. HE TOOK OVER THE ROLES OF THE OTHER SPECIALISTS AND ORDERED THINGS THAT IMPROVED MY CONDITION DRAMATICALLY AND THAT ENABLED ME TO BE DISCHARGED SOONER (OR AT ALL!) THAT NO ONE HAD CONSIDERED. HE IS A BOARD CERTIFIED CARDIOLOGIST WHO DID HIS RESIDENCY AT COLUMBIA, NYC. HE PREDICTED MY ENTIRE HOSPITAL COURSE. HE GAVE ME INSTANT HOPE WITH HIS MAGNETIC AND CARING PERSONALITY. I HAVE BEEN A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEY FOR 38 YEARS AND I KNOW A CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL WHEN I SEE ONE. HE IS AT THE PINNACLE OF HIS PROFESSION.

Dr. Oladeji is a great doctor. Compassionate, knowledgeable, caring and understanding. He takes his time to explain to the patient what the problem is and discusses his treatment plan. He is not just a doctor to his patient, but he becomes their friend as well. He is sincere in everything he does. Very highly recommended!

Dr Oladeji gets zero stars!! I had a stress test appt., which I warned them in advance that it is extremely difficult to get an IV in me. I was told not to worry. The day of the test, after fasting since midnight, they couldn’t get an IV and I had to wait for the Dr to try. I waited two hours! The test was to begin at 10am, he showed at 12 and had the audacity to be rude and dismissive of me. He said he didn’t have time when I was annoyed. He followed me outside being arrogant and rude.

As you can see by the comment left ON BEHALF OF DR. OLADEJI, he is moody and at times downright nasty. He doesn't care about his patients at all, and doesn't listen. This is a free country and that response to a patient was very unprofessional. He's basically an arrogant know it all that has no patience. When you call, no one will call you back. His office is a money making factory!!

After shortness of breath & chest pain, Dr. O said I was retaining water .Was given a water pill (which tens to lower blood pressure). He did not check my BP which tends to run already low. Took pill felt sick called Dr.O told me go to ER if still feeling bad. Never called to check on me. Got a second opinion. Months later called to make appt to re-check same symptoms. WAS DENIED bec I got a 2nd opinion. ILLEGAL to be under Dr. care and be FIRED as a patient. Never sent warning.NOTHING. ALL EGO.
