What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I very much felt that I was being dismissed during my appointment. It became very clear that he did not read any of the paperwork I sent in beforehand based on the surface-level questions he asked me during the appointment, and the specific ones that I was asked were very intentionally answered on said paperwork beforehand, and felt like they should’ve been prior knowledge to him. I felt like I was not at all listened to, as he asked me a question about my schooling, and then two minutes later asked the exact same question, like he had not been listening to begin with. My allotted time was 1-2:30, and my appointment went from 1:03-1:14, so to me, this felt extremely unproductive and like my appointment was just something to get done quickly. I reviewed the after-appointment notes, and there was some information that was blatantly entered incorrectly. I was extremely disappointed in my psychiatric appointment and will not be rescheduling a follow-up. Thank you.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. O is a very compassionate and patient doctor. When our children's mental health needed attention, we didn't know where to turn. One recommendation led us to a doctor that has had a positive impact on both of our children. We cannot thank him enough for helping in our time of need.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
I feel comfortable talking with him. He listens and gives you his feedback. I needed prescription for going out of the country in a very limited time. His front desk ladies helped me calm down and sent a red flag to Dr O. I was very luky to have them all help me get my med.

I needed to ask for refill quick without waiting and avoiding last minute rush.

We have been trying to set up a patient portal for our daughter. The office has been no help with this. They tell us to check the website and call the number, and we always get referred back to the office.

What could have been done to improve your experience?
This appointment was rescheduled several times which is frustrating and he only has in person visits on Wednesdays which is not always convenient. I understand he took over for another Doctor but I wish we hadn't been pushed out months and months.
