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.

Over and above would never be an attribute used to describe this guy. My daughter was a patient of his, and on a few occasions had an acute need to speak with him (one that involved a hospital visit). Each time, he was slow to respond, having his office assistant call and no sense of urgency in the matter. Office visits weren't much better. He lacks an empathetic demeanor required in this profession.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. O'Garr?
We are very happy with Dr. OGarr. I have two children who see him. They are both have attention issues and are mildly in the autism spectrum. Dr O'Garr really listens, he's friendly, he's pragmatic, he gets it, and he is usually on time (despite spending ample time with my kids). We switched to him from another dr (now retired) and I'm thrilled. Big thumbs up.
