Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent!
Dr. O'Donnell isn't the type to rush you out of her office, does this mean sometimes she's a little late to get started? Yes, but she still gives each patient her undivided attention while she with them. She has done an excellent job managing my son's migraines, and helping us navigate the process. She fun to talk to and connects with her patients and their parents.

Dr. O'Donnell has been very respectful, kind, open minded and genuinely concerned about my teen daughter's epilepsy. She has never made us feel rushed or like my daughter wasn't her #1 priority at the time of her appointments. She has explained things in a manner in which we can understand. When one of her answers or explanations lead to another question she has be incredibly honest, ethical, patient and helpful. Recent adjustment of my daughter's epilepsy medication has been very positive.
