Very helpful and caring -- especially considering my appointment with him was arranged only since I wasn't able to schedule a same day appointment with my PCP.

He is giving me tests if you’re a few months I was going to him, but I never had with another doctor with Optum in over 30 years. He goes well beyond his means.

I made comments about him in the first section of this survey. My son and I do not want him as our PCP. He was assigned to us when Dr. Salama retired and we have seen him twice. We would like to speak with someone in person about our reasons for this request to change our PCP.

Doctor account is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had when he moved. I couldn’t find him for two years and I’ll look for him. The doctor I had before that was horrible. Dr. O’Connell will tell you the truth. He’ll give you time to explain what he needs to hear from you. I love my doctor. He explains what I need to do to take care of myself and if there’s any other reasons that I need to take care of medicine, he’ll explain them to me in detail. I rate him a 10 1010 thank you for doctor accountant
