Patient Reviews
Jan 09, 2021
O'Connell was my Neuro. She was the best MS doctor I ever had. I don't think she is active anymore... at least that is what I have been told. I know she was very frustrated with the time she was allowed to have with her patients. She confided in me numerous times how frustrating it was that they think she only needs 15 minutes with patients who have a hard time communicating. It's also good to know that she also has MS. So as some see it as a bad bedside manner .... imagine having to have a quota on how many patients need to be seen everyday and 15 mins each. It's not realistic. This is the company's fault. This is the new world better get used to it.
