Dr Oko is thee best pediatrician.
Thee best. I can't say enough positive things about him. He visited the hospital when I had my son in Hoboken and over the years despite a couple moves I always come back to him. I trust him 100% and will travel just to see him for annual visits. He is caring, on top of everything, knows every stage developmentally from baby thru older children's and is not an alarmist type doctor - very professional, knowledgable and reassuring for a first time nervous mom. A great calming demeanor for moms and kids of all ages.
When we moved from Hoboken and I had back up pediatricians nearby just in case, I always insisted on having Oko listed as my main pediatrician ...no I will not transfer all the files - he can make a copy but he is the one I would always call if I had a question or concern.
For a year period my son had ear infections and I realized many pediatricians (I screened several) were too quick to prescribe antibiotics or suggest tubes (surgery) as a quick treatment... I realized this was a problem and took it upon myself to research and took a more holistic approach - letting fevers run their course and monitoring fluid etc myself and with pediatrician check ins. Oko was supportive of this and Monitoring my son... And since that tough waiting out the fevers and close monitoring, many phone calls needing reassurance, my son since under age five in many years has a healthy resistance and has not even needed a pediatricians care or even had a flu (vomiting) except once or twice in his life.
Oko when I was a first time mom
And very nervous was always reassuring and calming, comforting.
I am very particular about health care providers and when I find one who is amazing like Oko I will travel an hour plus to see them for annual visits ... And I do for Oko . I wholeheartedly would recommend him to any parent . He is thee
Best .
