Verified Patient Reviews for Kathy O’Connell, MD
Dr. O'Connell is always very pleasant and makes me feel comfortable. I've been going to her since I was 19 and I'm 49 now. She's very down to earth and always asks how my kids are doing. She delivered both my kids.

Front desk was caring. Dr. was understanding due to the accident on interstate which caused many patients to be late.

Dr. O'Connell and staff make me feel valued and seen and not just a number.
Highly professional and very customer oriented care provided.
As always, Dr. O'Connell is very kind and personable. I also want to acknowledge that the nurse who took my blood pressure and assisted me in the beginning was so kind. She was truly the kindest nurse that has ever assisted me and put me at ease. I appreciate her kindness and professionalism! I wish I had gotten her name so I can acknowledge her personally; she was wonderful!
This is a professional and caring practice.
Dr. O'Connell is incredible! She genuinely cares about her patients, had a real conversation with them rather than following a laptop checklist, and brainstorms possible treatments in real time with you, allowing you to be a part of the conversation.
