Codella Family Practice

Very arrogant doctor. Spoke down to me, rushed and seemed fake. I will go elsewhere next time.
Office staff was rude especially the front desk. Stay away!

The absolute worst treatment I have ever received at a doctor’s office in my life. The office staff never answers the phone & have no idea how to treat a patient. Dr. Okun leaned against the wall with his computer and stared at me while asking questions without listening to my answers. I am not sure if he is able to smile or if his face is frozen in that condemning position. He made it impossible to fill my prescription by calling the pharmacy in advance and hand writing on the prescription itself, making it questionable to any pharmacy. He asked me why blood work was not performed at my last appointment as if I would have any idea why that would have happened. I had to make two trips back to the Drs office to have my prescription corrected, am not able to drive due to my condition, and am thankful that my son was able to leave work to help me. He would not even come out of the back to apologize or offer an explanation, simply telling the receptionist to tell me to call if there were a problem. Well, good luck with that! i called at least 15 times and no one answered the phone! This is a doctor who does not deserve that title. and when my condition causes me to fall to the floor due to a lack of feeling in my legs and feet, I will blame his lack of even examining me at all. All he did was lift the back of my shirt and touch my back. I could have asked a friend to do that. Stay away from him unless you have hemorrhoids or a minor condition. Better off going over the counter.

My family has been seeing Dr. Codella for over a year. He is a very caring Dr and takes the time to listen and explain what is going on. We have always been treated great by his staff. Now that he has an office in North Brunswick it is even more convenient to see him

Horrible, please go somewhere else! I was very sick and called to make an rush appointment, the secretary was not only rude but told me she would call back and never did. When I finally went there it took 4.5 hours from the time I arrived till I left. Horrible. I would advise to go a med express or get another doctor.

Horrible experience from beginning to end. Took my 4 month old to see Dr. Okun at this practice. The young heavy-​set receptionist sitting closest to the entrance of the office should not be working that position. She should be filing papers or something working away from the patients. She lacks the welcoming energy and charisma a good receptionist should have. Doesn’t even bother trying to fake a smile for the patients. She made it feel awkward to say the least. God forbid you need help with something. it’s like pulling teeth with her!
After waiting for almost 2 hours, we finally get called into the exam room only to wait another 20 – 30 mins. A nurse finally comes in to take my baby’s length & weight, but they don’t even have a pediatric scale. Now, I have to shed some layers of clothes and hop on an adult scale once with my son and once without him so the nurse can subtract the difference to get his (estimated) weight. While this is happening, Dr. Okun walks up to the nurse (mind you, I’m standing right next to her) and tells her he’s leaving to another location, and to have two other doctors on staff take over whatever patients he has in the office. «I’ll be back later» he adds and leaves. At this point, I was livid but wasn’t going to make the trip out there and 2+ hour wait be done in vain so I waited for another unknown doctor to see my son.
This doctor walks in and doesn’t even bother introducing himself. I don’t know if he purposely did it thinking since it’s our 1^st time there we wouldn’t even know whether he was Dr. Okun or not. in any case, I didn’t even care to know who he was from how fed up I was. At the end of the examination he said they don’t provide immunizations/​vaccinations there. WHAT KIND OF PEDS OFFICE/​FAMILY PRACTICE IS THIS?!
That’s the 1^st and LAST time I’m ever going to that office for anything. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

We got this doctor from our provider directory. Busy practice but wait times can extend for hours. For referrals or prescription help they are all but impossible to reach by phone. When looking for outpatient rehabilitation and pain management the office person’s attitude was basically «Well, sucks to be you». She explained the only rehab center they deal with is one not on our insurance. She offered no suggestions for other care possibilities. If you have a chronic condition and the wrong insurance this office will give you a prescription and band aids… you’re just another case number.
