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.

Funally Found Relief
I found the office and support staff to be excellent a d responsive. Dr O'Hara provided a level of care and service that I have not recieved before. I have tried 3 other doctors with zero success. Dr O'Hara took the time to explore options and settle on a treatment plan that has resulted in a huge improvement in comfort and lifestyle. I highly recommend anyone to give him a chance. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing!
I have been in pain for awhile. I came in to see Dr. O'Hara and after he explained all my options with me we were able to get my pain down to a more tolerable level and then eventually no pain. Dr. O'Hara was very patient with me and answered all my questions. His office staff was also great as they worked hard to get everything approved quickly.

Miracle doctor!!!
I have problems with my lumbar spine. I suffered for a month going back and fourth to my chiropractor and they found this doctor for me. I went for a consultation didn't have to wait more than 5 mins. He examined me and put me in for a spinal epidural. After my procedure, I rested for 1 day and was back to normal with no pain AT ALL the very next day! I would definitely recommend him to anyone and will definitely see him again when the back becomes unbearable.

Apparently the practice sold out to a larger organization. i needed an appointment and started calling on a Wednesday morning at a little after 10 AM. Still holding at 11:25. On another phone called back and chose options for doctors. It was immediately picked up but they refused to make an appointment, Must now use call center. I'm done with them

I have been under Dr. O'Hara's care for over 15 years and would recommend him to anyone who needs pain management services. He takes whatever time is needed to explain all options available prior to scheduling procedures. He is not one of those doctors who schedules procedures just to make money, he genuinely cares for his patients. All of his staff is extremely helpful and professional too (most notably for me is Regina)

O'Hara is a nice guy and is definitely skilled in what he does. Unfortunately my lumbar epidural didn't work because I have severe stenosis. Instead of suggesting another epidural just to make money, he talked to me about other options and referred me to another doctor. He has helped one of my friends tremendously and he has no pain anymore. I highly recommend him because I feel he is competent and won't do unnecessary procedures on you. He takes the time out to answer all your questions.

Dr. O'Hara is my favorite doctor. He is knowledgeable and caring, and is so gentle it's amazing. I have had several epidurals without the need of anesthesia due to the way he handles patients. The nurses who work with him in surgery also think he is the best doctor they work with. I wouldn't let anyone else take care of my pain. His assistant Allison is also so caring it's a pleasure to deal with her. I actually enjoy going to his Freehold office due to the staff and everyone's professionalism.
