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.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Well mannered and respectful. He was able to gather information both directly and subtly. He engaged me in conversation on current events that seemed off topic and inconsequential until I realized that, since this was my initial interview with him and I am a retired senior, he was probably checking how I responded as a quick, cognitive test. Respect.
