Paul Kostoulakos's Online Review Report Card

Might be the worst doctor I’ve ever dealt with. His office staff is legendary for their rudeness and downright nasty attitude.

I had a stroke at 23 and spent weeks in the ICU. Jersey Shore referred me to Dr K upon release. I was in pain and at the time he was prescribing narcotics. This was over 10 years ago- I had no idea what hydro- morphine was but I took it 3 times daily (in addition to 3 oxytocin) as directed on the bottle. From what I understand Dr K is no longer aloud to write scripts for narcotics and I’m thankful. There is absolutely NO reason a 23 year old who’s never previously had a health problem in her life should be on that many heavy drugs. I don’t even remember that time in my life. I never abused the pills, just took them as directed. I’m 37 now and STILL stuck on the pills. I’ve done therapy and put in all the work but my body is accustomed to them at this point. Unfortunately, I’m not the only one this happened to. I know several people who have used Dr K (and Dr M for Injections) and are now suffering the consequences. Please be careful who you trust, it can ruin your life in big ways.

I recently saw Dr. Kostoulakos as a new patient. I have a traumatic brain injury from a recent car accident. When I called, I specifically asked if they saw and treated patients with this problem and do they take motor vehicle accident insurance they replied they do. After my visit with the doctor he prescribed several tests for me to take to get a baseline of my condition. Unfortunately, the motor vehicle insurance company denied the tests. The office then tells me that they do not file appeals or arbitrate on behalf of their patients. The staff was very rude to me when I had some simple questions about how to proceed and others simply did not return phone calls in reference to this matter. While the doctor was professional his staff was not, therefore I do not recommend anyone go to this practice.

Terrible doctor and staff. Stay away. Would not recommend. No stars.

Very Caring! Would highly recommend.

No bed side manner. Doesn’t follow up. Un available to leave urgent message with service. When pa said he would call us . Un safe practice Doesn’t explain anything. Called for follow up. 3 weeks it’ll next appointment. Office staff should be trained better in why you need appointment and is it urgent.

Horrible man who knows little of MS .. This doctor should not take on patients who have MS that are doing the work to stay healthy , he is short in his words and just doesn't listen to the patient .. He should not claim to treat MS period I have MS now 21 years and have done great but this guy thinks that the patient , the educated patient , is not worth th etime and makes up his own rules of how ...

“Insurance recommendations “ I’m waiting to see this doctor for 4 months now . 3 times his office called to cancel appointment because Dr. is not available to see patients this particular day when my appointment was scheduled. Call back office 3 times to reschedule appointment and weighting time 20-30min for someone to respond. If you need to see neurologist go to different DR. before something serious will happen. Apparently this doctor and his staff do not care about patients .

I've been under his care for a few years for epilepsy. Great care, great medicine, seizure free for many years!!!!

I had a very unsatisfactory experience with Dr. Kastoulakos. I saw him for chronic back pain. He ordered an MRI, put me on Lyrica and was to come back in a month. I had a very bad reaction to Lyrica. When I called his office I was told to reduce the dosage and, by the way, we have to change your appointment to two months instead of one. There was no concern for my problem or scheduling an appointment sooner. I would NOT recommend this doctor or group to anyone.
