Dr. Boak is personable, approachable and he actually listens not just hear you.

Excellent service with quality and kindness.

excellent doctor

My parents, siblings, children, in laws have all been a part of the practice. My mom had a complicated medical history and Dr Boak took great care of her and my dad.

Outstanding provider.

I would like to have Dr. Boak be more accessible to me if I get an unexpected sickness. Usually, I have to see a PA instead of Dr. Boak.

Very thorough

Always helpful

I have been seeing Dr Boak for several years. He has ALWAYS been very professional, approachable and helpful! I would definitely recommend him and Riverview Medical Associates!

So far, everything has been good. Thank you.

The visit with Dr Boak was excellent. He is very knowledge, knows all my issues and addressed all my concerns. I would recommend him to anyone. He is a very good physician.

Dr. Boak is a wonderful physician. Great combination of in-person expert care along with modern heathcare practices.

I appreciate Dr. Boak's expertise and patience and I highly recommend him. Thank you very much.

Excellent as usual.

Dr. Boak is a very good doctor. I've had him for over 20 years. The time wait, you don't get exactly what you need. If you're scheduled for 2 o'clock, you don't get a 2 o'clock appointment. You get 2:15, 2:20 if there's a couple of people there. You know, it's like it doesn't matter. Why would they make you give you an appointment for 2 o'clock if you can't go in at 2 o'clock? You know, I could see 2:15, but when it goes on to like a half hour, it's annoying. Other than that, Dr. Boak's a great doctor, so thank you.

Dr. Boak is a wonderful doctor. He listens carefully. He explains everything. He's very smart. And we've been with him for maybe 40 years, and he is wonderful. And that's all I have to say.

Dr Boak did a terrific job as always

I feel that Dr Boak provides medical care which he feels is best for his patient.

I recommended my friend to Dr. Boak and he's now a patient.

I have already in the past recommended Dr. Boak to family and friends and will continue to do so in the future.

Dr. Boak is the first doctor in 35 years of an under active thyroid to ask me, after seeing my normal TSH, "but how do you feel?" Multiple caregivers and NO ONE has ever asked. Which is significant because my symptoms preceed an abnormal result by about 6 months. I SO appreciate his care and thoroughness.

Dr. Boak is an excellent doctor.

Dr. Boak is an excellent and caring physician. He puts the patients first all the time and gives each patient ample time and opportunity to go over their medical health. He is very aware of all my ongoing conditions and issues, and he always acts in my best interest. He is a fantastic doctor. More doctors should model themselves after his practice.

Very satisfied!

Dr Boak is highly knowledgeable and has a thoughtful demeanor. I am confident in the care and advice he provides.

Nothing to add. All went well with staff and Doctor.

Dr Boak is a caring, compassionate physician

Dr. Boak is terrific

Dr Boak gives the most thorough and meticulous physical exam. He explains everything he does. He listens to you if you have any questions. Explains any test results explains any options. I recommend Dr Boak to anyone looking for a truly GOOD doctor.

Dr Boak has been my primary physician for many years. He is an excellent doctor in whom I have absolute trust.

Everyone should have a good doctor like him.

I talk he listens he discusses. Nothing gets done repeatedly over multiple visits to discuss multiple same issues. No test are done. No test ordered no resolution to physical issues.

Dr. Boak is a wonderful doctor! He explains everything so carefully and really takes an interest in providing the highest level of care. I am truly fortunate to have him for my physician!

Dr. Boak does a very good job keeping my health on track.

Dr. Boak has been one of the most thorough doctors I have ever had in my whole medical history. He has been excellent. I wouldn't change him for anything.

Wait time to see doctor after scheduled appointment time was almost 1.5 hours. Improve the scheduling algorithm (and make a little less profit). I am sure the doctor will make good use of slack time, should there be any.

Dr. Boak always takes the time to listen.

Dr. Boak is superb. Not much else to say. I am lucky to have such a fine Dr. JD

Very through and understanding doctor

Dr. Boak has been my primary care doctor for many years as he was/is for my mother, father, brother, and husband. Dr. Boak is extremely knowledgeable, caring and personable. I would recommend him to anyone!

Your booking system is terrible, impossible.

Dr. Boak is absolutely amazing. I've been going to him for decades. I wouldn't think of going to any other provider and I would highly recommend him to family and friends. Very thankful that I have Dr. Boak in my life to take care of my medical cares and needs. Thank you.

Everything was smooth with the visit except for the lab appointment immediately after. It seemed they didn't actually enter me in the system or something so I was waiting for a long time before one of the front office folks noticed I had been there a while and that something was wrong. She then had the lab folks take me right away.

I love my doctor and his staff. They are very interested in what you have to say. They do not make you feel like you are just being shuffled through. They are friendly and personable. I always look forward to a visit there.

Dr. Boak is a compassionate, thorough, and concerned physician, one of the best I have known.

Dr. Boak is a very caring physician. He follows up with all of my concerns. I would highly recommend him. The lab work technician had a difficult time taking my blood work.

Dr. Boak is the best physician I have ever had. He's kind and understanding and he really cares about you individually. Thank you so much.

Went well. As I age and deal with the consequences of the golden years, Dr Boak helps me achieve good results as I hurdle the tricks that time plays on us. Feel great for my age. Stressed by the challenges at times, but keep on swinging, always will. Thanks Dr Boak.

Dr. Boak is a caring, experienced and very knowledgeable physician. He personifies excellence in every way. It is a privilege to be his patient.

Everything was excellent. I've been going to this provider for 16 years. And as I said, everything has been really just wonderful. And this visit we're talking about right now, this physical, was just outstanding as usual. So thank you very much.

Dr Joseph Boak is a great Dr. I am an extremely nervous person so he really takes his time with me and goes over all medical tests without being an alarmist. He is very professional at all times and has a great attitude. I'm so happy he is my dr.

I was very, very pleased with my visit with Dr. Boak. He's been my doctor for years and I'm very happy with him. Thank you, goodbye.

Dr.Boak. is a kind caring physician.

No, I was very pleased. I'm an old woman, and I was very pleased with my doctor's appointment. And I thank you very much for calling. Have a good day, love. I appreciate it.

Dr. Boak is a fantastic physician. I've been his patient for many years and have been well cared for. Since the merger with Hackensack Meridian, the office staff is lacking. Communication is a constant struggle. Getting appointments, prescriptions and referrals are often a challenge. Most recently, I was instructed to make a 6 month follow up appointment. When I spoke with the front office, I was advised that Dr. Boak's schedule was full and she needed to speak to a supervisor. I was told I would receive a follow up call by the end of the day. It's now 3 days later and I've yet to receive a call. The constant challenges with the office staff is forcing me to consider another healthcare provider.

Someone canceled my original time for my appointment therefore I had to wait a half hour to see the Dr.

Entire staff at office are very helpful and pleasant

Dr. Boak, Jr. is terrific. His staff is very thorough and professional.

I waited about 20 minutes after my assigned appointment. And outside of that, Dr. Boak has been exemplary over the years that I've been with him. He shows compassion. He shows a true meaning of do no harm. And he is an excellent, excellent doctor. That's why I've been with him for many, many

Staff is extremely professional.

Dr. Boak has always been a valuable medical resource for me

Dr. Boak is the best. My health has improved greatly since i switched to him. I am very grateful to have him as my primary Dr.

Dr Boak is one of the best and most professional doctors I ever met.

Was suppose to make a appointment in six months for my yearly check up. Could get one for six months got one for 8 months.

I need a 6 month follow up for my annual visit and have to wait 8 months for an appointment.

It was difficult to get a follow-up appointment because this doctor is so fully booked. A see-you-in 6-month visit will take 9 months.

Dr. Boak is by far the best doctor I have ever come in contact with. You're very lucky to have him in your practice.

Grateful for my doctor, front office, and nurses!

I always have a good experience with Dr. Boak He listens and respects what you're saying as the patient.
