The only complaint I have with this appointment was how long I waited. Dr. O'Shea was very apologetic and I am not at all upset with him, he most definitely took his time and answered every question I had, I did not feel rushed at all, I just wonder if he is overbooked? I am still very happy and confident with Dr. O'Shea being my doctor.

When Dr. McCullough informed me of his retirement, I wasn't sure who I could see at the Clinic that might be able to fill Dr. McCullough's shoes (Dr. McCullough is an excellent Physician, and a person as well. Dr. McCullough was immediately recognized by Mayo Clinic physician when I consulted with him for a second opinion), Dr. McCullough recommended Dr. O'Shea and He stated "You will be happy with him," Dr. McCullough was correct. Dr. O'Shea is an excellent and very knowledgeable Physician.

Reviewed on Jan 9, 2023

As I explained, I had hard time getting an appointment with Dr. O'Shea until Stephanie intervened. The audio did not work, but the doctor was diligent. The only thing I noticed in the care between Dr. McCullough and Dr. O'shea is that Dr. McCullough had more assistants like Dr. Iryna Kalinina and othe nurce practitioners assisiting him In one way or another so he will have more time to care for his patients. I truly believe that if the Clinic provides Dr. O'shea with more assistants to help with the patient management it would be icing on the cake.
