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'Leary Is a awesome doctor. I have been trying to get doctors in ny to order me updated brain scans. But all of them refused to help me. I was determined to get updated scans. So someone referred me to Dr. O'Leary and the doctor spent 11 minutes with me listening and ordered my scans. Then afterwords he read over my results which he didn’t have to do. He is a awesome doctor. Thanks Dr. O'Leary for your help.

The Dr Shaun O'Leary office did not return a follow-up appointment to go over the results of the Lumbar discogram procedure done on 2.14.2020. I would NEVER recommend this doctor to anyone. His help is incompetent. It's been a month and I still can't get a hold of anyone at his office to help me. I personally had to go to the hospital to get the discogram CD and reports on my own and bring it to another Physician to review. I can not believe My Response from a $46,000 discogram was INCONCLUSIVE.

RUN IF RECOMMENDED - His help never calls back! – Mar 19, 2020

Horrible doctor. Makes other doctors do all the work and him and his office do nothing. Doesn't care about his patients. If you want good care find another place.

Dr. O'Leary is an excellent doctor and skilled surgeon. He did an excellent job on my back surgery. To me, he was clear, thoughtful, went over my x-rays, and explained options. We finally decided on surgery, and the communication between his office, other doctors, and me was excellent. His staff is also highly skilled. I have only had positive experiences with Dr. O'Leary, and would gladly recommend his services to others.

I waited over an hour and a half to see Dr. O'Leary. He quickly reviewed my MRI and suggested pain management. I believe Dr. O'Leary would benefit from better listening skills. He did very little to address my neuropathy issues and when my conditioned worsened a week later, i called for 3 solid working days before hearing back from his office. I was then informed to make an appointment and they would see me mid February. No thanks. There are other doctors.

Follow up is horrible, never calls back, has nurse call but she has no explanations as to why he wants new tests ordered. Never got test results from 2 mri's and ct scan although dr said he would call me next day with results. Symptoms got much worse and nurse called to say he still didn't read my tests, but make an appt in 3 weeks to see dr. I don't think so, something is up wth this man, don't trust his actions or care(less) for patient.
