Patient Comments

Everyone was very helpful and kind.

Dr. O'Connell did not answer an important question I asked 3 times. She didn't listen very well to my concerns. She had a very difficult time understanding my health issues, even though I spoke slowly and clearly. She seemed very confused throughout my time in the office with her.

She is a great dr. and I would highly recommend her.
