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.
11/19/2025
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.

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.

11/3/2025
Everyone should have a good doctor like him.
11/3/2025
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 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.
10/27/2025
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.
10/23/2025
Dr. Boak always takes the time to listen.

10/3/2025
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.
10/2/2025
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.

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.
9/11/2025
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.
9/11/2025
Someone canceled my original time for my appointment therefore I had to wait a half hour to see the Dr.
9/11/2025
Entire staff at office are very helpful and pleasant

9/4/2025
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

I continue to see Dr. Boak because he provides very personal and personable care, speaks in plain understandable language, and does a really good job of understanding and communicating the healthcare situation. So, thank you very much.
6/14/2025
Dr Boak is an outstanding doctor. However, since he was the ONLY doctor on-site on Saturday morning, with an office packed full of sick patients, he was extremely overloaded. Also, nobody answered the phone in the office. My phone call just went to a voice mail that said the office was closed, so I could not make an appointment. I decided to drive to the office anyway and see if they were open. This excellent medical office has gone downhill since Hackensack Meridian took over. Instead of spending huge amounts of money funding arts centers, Hackensack Meridian should be hiring at least one more doctor to work on Saturday, plus someone to answer the phone.
6/13/2025
Grateful for the doctor's flexibility to fitting me into his schedule.
6/10/2025
