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.

He is my doctor and i only have 3 complaints. 1. some of the employees are rude. 2. when you get the needle, the band aids fall off and now my arm is basically a noodle. 3.I HATE that he looks down my pants. also i am a GIRL!

Jessica, the front desk receptionist is rude. I would not recommend this office because of her. She treats patients with absolute disrespect and Dr. O'Connell allows her to behave in such a manner. Very disrespectful and she uses foul language towards the patients.
