Dr. O is the best! After a Stanford doctor told me a fusion would not relieve my pain and that I was only suffering from arthritis from my c4-​c7 fusion in 2001. He barely viewed the MRI films I brought in and seemed impatient listening to me. My primary doctor suggested a second opinion and I booked an appt with Dr. O.
First off, the staff (Gabby) is so sweet and kind to any and all calls of concern and the financial team (Toiya) are on top of everything and always returning calls. So with this incredible staff comes this wonderful surgeon, with a beautiful accent, that listened intently to all my pain issues. He also review WITH me my MRI films and xrays showing me how each pain that I complained of connected to a particular area of my cervical area. He also explained the type of surgery and the percentage of relief I could look forward to. It was a complicated procedure that involved the front and back of my neck being worked on. He was very realistic, compassionate and precise.
After my surgery he kept a constant vigil on me and the hospital (El Camino) was great at attending to me. I have had two post op visits and then the other day I had all these questions come up that had me nervous about the longevity of the surgery. I called Gabby and I have an appt. first part of next week. My regular scheduled appointment is 8 weeks from surgery, however, he is willing to see me and answer questions before that. It is a scary ordeal having a major surgery. I’m sure he will explain my concerns and I will walk out with confidence.
Always get second opinons. Whether Dr. O is the first or second opinion I highly recommend him as first choice!
