Patient Comments

March 21, 2019

She listened to my concerns, [...], it was an excellent visit, everything I though it would be.

March 03, 2019

Dr. O'Connell was very helpful

November 12, 2018

She answered two text messages without apology during my visit. Recommended a medication she could neither spell nor look up faster then me on her cell phone. She didn't even know what it was for--offered botox shots even though she didn't review my case. This was supposed to be a second opinion from the best in Pittsburgh--it was a waste of time and I cried the hour and a half drive home. She did not listen to my issues. Shocked that she's part of the Neurological team that's supposed to be top of the line.
