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.

Sham
The doctor spent less than 5 minutes with me. Told me to come back when I couldn’t put my hand in a glove or my pocket. A complete waste of my time and I was charged $355.

I have been seeing Dr. O'Donovan for several years. He is and always has been very professional and competent. He takes his time with his patients and explains everything he is doing or going to do or what needs to be done completely. It's always a pleasure to see him...if one has to go to the doctors, they may as well go to one they trust..and I do. I highly recommend him.

Dr O’Donovan took very little interest in our 13yr old who broke his arm and tried very little to reduce it. His bad idea was to take him to surgery. We took him to Union and another doctor properly reduced it and thought surgery was a crazy idea. I would never recommend O’Donovan especially with kids.

After searching Google for a doctor to help with the pain in my hand and being turned down by three other hand doctors stating they could not help me, I finally found Dr. Terence O'Donovan's office. They happily scheduled an appointment for me and I had my appointment two weeks after I contacted their office on April 3rd 2017. It is not often that one comes across a professional let alone a medical professional that does their job because they love it and it shows. I have only encountered two o

Thanks to Dr O'Donovan and his staff, my wrist which was very badly broken and dislocated is perfectly functional. We had concern that i would not get full range of motion back but after surgery & intensive physical therapy, my wrist is great. He always gave the time I needed, carefully explained everything, and was very professional, competent, and attentive. He didn't just order PT, he guided it closely. Arundel Mills staff was great. Dr O & team totally earned my trust and gratitude.
