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.

Typical Medical Visit - Disappointing
Dr O’Malley was in and out in 5 minutes. No explanation of cause or how to prevent in the future. At least the pain is hopefully gone for now.

Great Doctor!
Dr. O'Malley is very personable and knowledgeable. Listened to my problem, knew exactly what was wrong and gave options and his opinion on treating. He makes you feel very comfortable, almost like you have known him forever and even though he is from New York, he is very NICE!! I will be back for any future needs. Thank you Dr. O'Malley!

Not impressed
I have been to a couple of specialists in the EmergOrtho network. I have been having problems with my feet - chronic pain, stabbing pain and many broken bones. What bothered me most was that Dr. O’Malley did not really go over my X-rays with me, and after reading his notes thru my patient portal - he definitely never mentioned an injection (which I would have gladly taken) that the notes said he did. He skirted over options, eg. surgery but didn’t go into any detail as to what the surgery would entail. I was sent away with different things to try (which I had been doing) and if I couldn’t stand the discomfort he said he could “fix my toes” no detail (so how am I supposed to weigh my decision) and after hearing about how he only has 15 minutes to tell patients what is best, which he felt he couldn’t do, and can’t guarantee this and that, if I want it fixed ok - if not live with it. And then I heard 8 minutes of how mislead todays youth is. Looking for a different podiatrist.
