Dr. O Shea is an excellent doctor. He always gives me ample time and in never patronizing in explaining tests that have been done.

I made my appt some time ago but I don't recall any problems. I don't want to say anything bad about Dr. O'Shea but he told me to call him when test results came across My Chart. I did. I have not received a return phone call as of yet.

I'm sure Dr. O'Shea is a very intelligent doctor. His bed side manner leaves a lot to be desired. I have no doubt he knows what he is talking about. I feel he talks about the wrong things. I realize he needs to make me aware of any complications I can have down the road.But I would appreciate if he would give me some encouragement when there is some good news. He is way too blunt saying right out I will die if I get a certain complication. He spent at least 20 minutes talking to my son explaining a genetic test I was going too have done. Way too technical for me and all I ask for is a little encouragement on the good news. I on the other hand love Donna Oliver NP. She is wonderful. I'm sure she is very intelligent and knows how to treat a patient.

Dr. O'Shea was excellent - I have Ulcerative Colitis and go to Dr. Long for all my checkups and colonoscopies this is the first time I didn't have Dr. Long for my colonoscopy (he isn't doing them anymore). Dr. O'Shea took time to explain everything and he knew my history and I he was excellent. I will now be having all my colonoscopies with Dr. O'Shea. I tried calling the office a few days before the procedure for help with timing of prep and got into the automated phone service it took a few days to get through to the office.

Dr. O'Shea is the best doctor. I've seen him over 20 years. I followed him over to the Clinic when he left UH. He is thorough and complete in his exams. He is very knowledgeable about liver, swallowing and autoimmune issues. He is a good listener and offers sensible treatment suggestions. He reviews all blood tests and other test results and follows through. He has even helped me with a document for my insurance company when they refused to pay for a service rendered.
