Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. O'Connell is amazing. I've been to dermatologists in NYC, London and Florida and no one compares. All the docs at this office are great, however, Dr. O'Connell is like having a doctor that actually cares about letting you know what is best for you as well as giving you the straight story on all the treatments he offers. Love the guy!

I recently switched to Dr. O'Connell from another well-known doctor in town, and WOW the difference is amazing. I have a clearly defined jawline and cheekbones again instead of just "fat" pudgy filler pockets which is what it looked like at my prior doc. I'm so so so glad I found someone that understands facial aesthetics and balance. I highly Recommend him!

I am skeptical when it comes to dermatology. Having skin problems most of my life, I keep a long list of medicines that never cured me, including 32 sessions of XTRACT. Without much hope I went to see Dr. O’Connell (referred by a family member). By this time, the skin of my fingers had open wounds; I was in pain and took showers with plastic gloves on. Dr. O’Connell examined me, and prescribed two medicines, one an antibiotic and another for when the wounds closed. I left there with the usual feeling of “here we go again". Well, in five days, the wounds on my fingers were closed. It has been two weeks now and the skin on my fingers is perfect. I am now using the second ointment. I recommend Dr. O’Connell with all my heart. by Zizi Careaga, Miami, Fl.

I live 5 hours away but would never let anyone other than Dr. O'Connell touch my face. He is incredibly talented when it comes to understanding the clients needs, facial symmetry and techniques which support and enhance the natural facial features without looking like you have had anything done. He is a "Michelangelo" of understanding facial enhancement. No wonder he has so many international clients! Superior service and always attuned to patient.

Dr. O'Connell is an amazing, caring, intelligent and highly skilled dermatologist. I cannot recommend him highly enough-I have been his patient for several years and I even have taken my son to him for non-cosmetic procedures.

Very bad experience, I went to see him with a rash, he said it was an allergy, he did the patch test, which is very expensive btw, I changed everything he said I was allergic to (nothing out of the ordinary) the rash got worse so Idecided to get a second opinion. The other dr deducted it was a fungus so she did a biopsy which proved thats what it was, it got really bad because of this doctor's wrong diagnose of something that would have been so easy to cure. Avoid the waste of time and money

the worst visit to a doctor ever, I was left by myself for over an hour in a consultation room waiting for the this Dr. if I did not come out to ask what was going on I would have been left there for hours. when I inquired to the nurse what going on, she just told me he is running late if you want to reschedule go down the corridor, which is very long and I did not know where to go? I couldn't not believe it, when I finally found the reception I realized what they do, is just cosmetic procedures
