Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible person I have ever met he is very unprofessional and told me don’t even fill out my paperwork he will not help me as I ASKED and was referred to him to help me GET off pain meds , my husband and I are contacting all above this duche and fingers crossed it will be on the news about this dr , only favors he wants and made it clear .

He treated me for several years. I got a new Insurance provider which wouldn't approve the meds he wanted to put me on. He cut me off cold Turkey and caused me to have a heart attack. He wouldn't see me or even return a call on what I should do. Any long term meds are supposed to be weaned off even when switching meds. He is a terrible doctor. For your own sake and safety do not ever see this doctor!

Worst Dr I've ever met. I've been in pain clinics for 10 years since I've had multiple surgeries on my back, none giving me any problems. I have my first meet with this Dr and the first thing he says when we sit down. "I'm just letting you know I'm never giving you pain meds, your aware of that correct?" I said what? .. and it went downhill from the there. He said" i treat everyone as if they are a drug addict..90 years old or 35 I don't care, everyone is a drug addict." I said wow good bye

Dr. O'Saben seemed completely disinterested in being present for my entire new patient exam. He challenged me on several things I know about billing major medical insurance (which I do for a living) and when proven wrong acted like a child for the rest of the visit. I honestly have no idea what made him want to be a doctor. Absolutely unnaceptable bedside manner. The staff was wonderful, and provided service recovery on his behalf. He could learn from them.

Dr. O'Saben has a horrible bedside manner & unreceptive towards my husband's situation. Looking at his MRI he could not conclude he was in any pain, while our new dr. looked & diagnosed him with a rare vertebrae condition causing extreme pain & started treatment. When told we are expecting our first child Dr. O'Saben told my husband to get out as fast as he can, it's the biggest mistake he could make. In our opinion, that is unacceptable and appalling behavior from a professional.
