Yearly appointment is scheduled on time. Told to go to walk in clinic with same day or next day urgent appointments. I have never been able to get in to the office for urgent visits. Follow up ER appointments were scheduled way after the period that I needed to be seen.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
He listens carefully, takes you seriously, looks into your medical history, looks into your medication history. He educates himself into knowing all there is to know about you, from past to present. Which is so so so refreshing. Never had a doctor ever listen to me let alone look into my past medical history to help the ongoing medical issue. Leaving his office I broke down in tears. Because I was finally heard and had hope again where hope was lost. I’m forever thankful and grateful for Dr.O.
