Comments: Dr. O’Connor has excellent interpersonal skills. His demeanor is calming in the face of bad news. He explained the problem and the surgical treatment thoroughly, and in a manner that is comprehensible to a lay person. We have had two visits with him over the past 2 years and we were pleased with his conservative approach. We highly recommend Dr. O’Connor, as we are selecting him over 2 other highly qualified neurosurgeons to perform my husband’s back surgery.
