Dr O’Malley was super impressive. His calm presence put me at ease. He was attentive and saw the break in my hand that was barely noticeable on the x-ray. He was a blessing to have as my doctor today.

Pleasant, confident, great analysis of x-rays, and the implications for my choices of remedies. To my problem. I like the directness, the statistics provided regarding various recovery times for these types of surgeries I will need. It was refreshing to have a *clarifying* doctor visit. Many thanks!
