I would highly recommend this doctor for spinal problem surgeries. He was able to eliminate my extreme pain due to a pinched nerve and I am very grateful.

Review for Dr. Wahba

We saw Doctor O Connell for the first time today! My teen children loved him! He very soft spoken and kind! He asked if they had any questions and took his time with him! It was a real good visit and he listened and responds to thier questions very well!!

Review for Dr. O Connell

Dr. Dakak is kind, caring, puts the needs of his patients first, and has been nothing short of outstanding!I'm a bit hesitant to write this review, because once people find out how great he actually is, it's likely going to become much more difficult to get an appointment... Lol!In all seriousness...
