Very easy to talk to and he truly was listening to me and my concerns! We were on the “same page of the book” as far as treatment was concerned!

The best ever! Even though if he's behind no matter what he does not rush his time with you. Always explains everything. Goes over any blood work that may have been done line by line so that you understand. Make sure before you leave his office that you understand everything and that you know your next step to be taken. Wished he was qualified in all surgeries so that if anything ever happens to me again he could be the one to do my surgery. Staff is pleasant as well. His nurse very considerate tries her very best to help you the best that she can. It's always very pleasant to go to emerge Ortho where he and his team are concerned.

Dr O’Malley is careful with his observations and lay explanations of joint problems. He is definitely a source for honest consultation and discussion

Two total knee replacements with excellent results. No complications, easy to get in touch with, outstanding staff. I don’t wanna do it again, but if I have to, I’ll choose him every time.

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.
