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'Callaghan is GREAT
Dr. O'Callaghan has a great talent for communicating in terms you can understand. We discussed my current issue and decided surgery was my best opinion. This will be the third surgery Dr. O'Callaghan has done for me. The other two where a great result that completely resolved my problems. It's amazing the first two fairy complex surgeries where relatively painless post-op. I'm disappointed Bay Street is closing but I will follow Dr. O'Callaghan to his next practice.

Relatively brief wait to get in. He's very professional and skilled, conducting a pretty painful procedure. He's as good as it gets.

This is my second time meeting with Dr. O'Callaghan and getting an injection into my arthritic thumb area. It is a lifesaver, and the good doctor makes it as painless as possible.

I call him Miracle Man
After several years of hand pain. - I finally have a dr that can diagnose and give me good options that will change as my arthritis and other issues progress. He is very pragmatic. I have complete confidence in him when I get to needing surgery I have sent 5 people his way - they love him too!

Concerns of my trigger finger getting better.
Dr. O Callaghan takes time to listen to your concerns. He makes you feel at ease and everything you say is important. If you have a problem he gives you options. After finger surgery, I wanted my trigger finger fixed. It takes time and hopefully as I continue with my home therapy I won’t have to come back for any more treatment.

Emergency Help
After calling multiple orthopedists to follow up on my 94 yr old dad's broken arm after discharge from ER night before, Dr. O'Callaghan was the only doc office that returned a call and squeezed my dad in late afternoon on Fri before Labor Day wkend. Examined my dad and braced the arm to help alleviate some pain and keep him comfortable. Thank you, Dr. O'Callaghan.

I brought my elderly mother after a fall. She was seen right on time, Dr. listened to all her concerns and took appropriate scans. He was very patient with her and signed her up for some PT. Five stars.

Outstanding!
Unlike visits with other providers at BSO, every time I’ve seen Dr O’Callaghan, I felt like I mattered and was not just a link in the chain.Kindness, patience, gentleness, and care are the things his team made me feel, while they were professional, thorough, and also punctual! Thank you Dr O’Callaghan for helping me recover functional use of both my hands! I’m playing my guitar again, and enjoying my life. I literally found you by accident, but keep and refer you on purpose!
