Verified Patient Reviews for Kathy O’Connell, MD
I feel like I am part of my health plan here, like I'm listened to and valued. Not ever am I spoken down to.
Have always received excellent treatment with Dr. O'Connell.
[Rating Only]
I have been a patient of Dr. O'Connell for over 25 years. Very professional, listens and very patient.
Dr. O'Connell and her staff are extremely thorough and professional.
Dr. O'Connell and Bre, the medical assistant, were both fantastic. The young woman at the front desk checking people in was not good at all. She mumbled, barely had her eyes open, spoke very low and was overall unprofessional. I didn't get her name but she was wearing a mask and some sort of black turban.
Doctor and staff are always friendly and efficient.
Dr. O’Connell was excellent! She was warm, kind, and professional, and I couldn’t have imagined a better experience. I want to tell everyone about her, though I am half-joking that I'm afraid she won't have any openings left for me because I have been telling people about her already. Thank you for the great customer service, from the front desk to the medical assistant. The treatment throughout my visit was truly superb. Thank you kindly!
All of the employees I interacted with were knowledgeable and answered my questions.
