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.

Excellent bedside manner! Sincerely warm and caring! The best yet!??

Painful
Dr. O’Connor's bedside manner was notably lacking, particularly in the context of managing patients experiencing pain from fissures. It is essential for medical professionals to approach such cases with sensitivity and gentleness. Effective patient care should prioritize comfort and compassion, especially when addressing painful conditions. A more supportive approach would likely enhance patient trust and overall experience. It is crucial for healthcare providers to recognize the impact of their demeanor on patient well-being.

I have been a patient of Dr. O'Connor's for about 3 years.The care I received from Dr. O'Connor was exceptional. She listened attentively to my concerns and provided personalized treatment that yielded positive results. The entire team at the clinic displayed a high level of professionalism and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. My first procedure was very successful and I returned to have her perform a routine colonoscopy. I recommended her to my dear friend and insisted my husband switch to her for screening. They are both extraordinarily grateful. Recently, I developed an issue that needed to be addressed. Out of the blue, Dr. O'Connor called me to just check in and see how I was feeling. Naturally that is not something you experience these days. We talked for at least 15 minutes and she put me comfortably at ease. She always has a bright smile and approaches the Doctor-Patient relationship with incredible sensitivity, dedication and compassion.

Ist time Visit for colonoscopy
Great experience with the Clinicians of the practice. Had a few hiccups with the office staff, but they were able to correct a few things and my appointment and procedure went well. Will definitely be having my follow up procedure with Dr. O'Connor in 5 years. Thank you!

Stay away
This doctor does a rectal exam every time you visit her. Medicare gets a bill for an extra $400.00. I went to see her for acid reflux (GERD) and she did a rectal exam. I have been to a number of Gastro doctors and she is the only one who does this. But OK maybe for my first visit. Then she asked me to keep a food diary for three weeks and report back. When I did, she said “let’s take a look” and did another rectal exam. Seriously? I wish I refused. When I asked her a question, she said “oh you have GERD?” She didn’t even look at my chart. Done here.

Highly recommended
I saw Dr O’Connor for a few appointments and a colonoscopy two weeks ago. She’s very pleasant, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain what’s going on during every visit. She’ll always ask if there are any questions before the appointment is over. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a Dr.

Nervous Nelly made it!
This was my first colonoscopy, and I was very nervous. Dr. O’Connor has the best bedside manners. She explained the entire procedure to me in a way that I could understand. She encouraged me to relax and that it would all be over before I knew it and I would be fine. No lies were told. She has an awesome way of making you feel like everything will be alright. For something that I would consider intrusive, I would recommend her for sure.

Appreciative and grateful
I've been a patient of Dr. O'Connor for several years and I highly recommend her.In addition to being an excellent, highly skilled colorectal surgeon, Dr. O'Connor is extremely caring and sincerely devoted. She takes time to talk with patients. Never felt rushed. Dr. O'Connor explains procedures, results and patiently answers questions. Not only a fantastic doctor but she's very humble and an extremely kind person. Also, Dr. O'Connor is a champion in encouraging and promoting early colorectal screening ( participates in interviews with several television stations, community organizations etc.). Her Facebook page and other social media platforms, include but are not limited to, encouraging healthy life styles and healthy eating.The office staff is awesome! Helpful, kind and patient! We are a very fortunate community to have Dr. O'Connor. Thank you, Dr. O'Connor for everything you do as a doctor and for being a wonderful person!Thank you for reading my note.

I have visited Dr. O’Connor’s office a number of times and each time she was very personable and professional. Dr. O’Conner explains the procedure that she is preforming on you in detail. Her staff is friendly and the office is clean. I would recommend Dr. O’Conner for all of your colon and rectal needs.
