Patient Reviews (44)

  • Dr Omara is an excellent physician

  • Good

  • I have recommended Dr. O'Mara to several people who are having Knee problems.

  • Edward O'Mara was on top of his game

  • Sometimes Physicians have a tendency to talk very quickly because they spend their days explaining to patients. But, I would have preferred a little more time explaining what he was looking at on the X-RAY/MRI. He did have a concern with what he saw but honestly, I didn't understand & by the time I tried to make sense he had moved on. I value Dr. O'Mara's opinion and his work and that is why I am a repeat patient but sometimes just a bit slower as most patients might be like me.
