Dr. O'Malley was good but seemed to be in a hurry, which doesn't engender a high confidence that he's considering all facets of the injury and possible treatments.

This was the worst experience I've ever had with a surgeon. They didn't have my medical records so they said but my physicians office said they had confirmation that they received them. Money making scheme?? I think si

I called for an appointment on Tuesday and got in on Thursday! All the staff were friendly and professional and seem to enjoy their work. The receptionist was kind and well spoken. The X-ray techs were professional and friendly. The physicians were knowledgeable, easy to talk to and performed thorough assessments. I was nervous about the steroid shot but it was pain free! Thank you! (One suggestion. The clinic really needs some artwork. It was cold and austere in appearance. )

Well, I think that the the overall procedure that was done on me wasn't thoroughly treated right. I left there. I'm more pain I came. I think that he should just do it done a better job on researching. [NAME] my my part of the pain that I was in it something at the overlooking. So I really I really didn't like to visit and I had a bad time and I and I'm in more pain now and I was when I went so I want to make sure I clarify that you will do it and and I won't be going back there at all. So and I wouldn't advise anybody else to go back to that doctor if if you can analyze a person that I've been [COMMENT UNFINISHED]
