Neurologists who are Physicians - Forked River, NJ

"Dr. Z connected the dots from my medical history to a very rare condition. Thoroughly impressed with how quickly he was able to connect two symptoms to one rare condition. But he still had the professional integrity to recommend a second opinion. Also a pleasant staff, and the shortest wait time I have ever experienced for a medical appointment. "

"I saw her last year for help with my fibromyalgia pain as I was recommended to see a neurologist. Dr Papa-Rugino was nice when she first came into the room, she started reading my chart and asking me questions. As soon as she found out I am a smoker and was on a high dose of Tramadol(which my pain management dr prescribed me and I took as directed) for my pain her entire demeanor changed. She got really short with me and told me that no one would help me as long as I am on tramadol. I left the office in tears and never went back. I am writing this a year later because of the events that followed this visit. I made a decision to get off tramadol because she made me feel like scum for being on it. The last year has been a pure torment . I've been trying to pursue other medication combinations, and nothing has worked. I am in excruciating pain, my quality of life has declines more than 50% my husband and daughter are suffering because I am not myself and am unable to do the things a wife and mother should. I just recently found a doctor that specializes in fibromyalgia and has me back on tramadol at a much lower dose(the only thing that helps in my case anyway). I am slowly starting to get my life back. I allowed this woman to shame me and make me feel 2 inches tall for being on a medication that helps me just because she didn't approve. Her bedside manner was terrible and it put me off on ever wanting to see a neurologist ever again! She needs to work on her people skills and remember why she became a doctor in the first place! Doctors are supposed to help people not make them feel like scum because they don't agree with things their patients are doing(ex: smoking cigarettes) I think that most doctors have forgotten they are supposed to help people anymore, and I have this opinion because over the last 10 years I have seen my fair share of doctors and the ones that actually care are few and far between!"

"Dr. Geller's care has been unlike others I've been to for the issues he treats. I feel fully confident in the treatment he provides and the attention to detail he takes with each visit. He is very kind and leaves no question unanswered if you have any. He truly is one of the best! It is sometimes hard to get in touch with someone in the office for appointments or questions. I have had to leave some voicemail messages but the office does seem to be on the busier side since there are multiple doctors. At the end of the day, everything gets taken care of and I'm happy!"
