Edward R O’Malley, MD

He is wonderful. He put tubes in my son’s eyes when he was an infant. He was great with my son and a genuinely kind person.

Dr. O’Malley is truly as good as it gets in his field. He specializes in Pediatric Eye Disease, Adult Strabismus, and treatment for diseases of the eye. I first saw him 11 years ago based on a recommendation for eye surgery for strabismus. It was a great success, but it’s common with strabismus that surgery will be needed again. So, here I am again.
I called his office back in June, and his first available appointment was in October. When I was asked why I was calling, and explained my headaches and vision issues, they immediately got me an appointment within 2 weeks.
Even though he sees adults, most of his patients are children, so his office is geared towards kids. I enjoyed watching «The Neverending Story» while I waited to see Dr. O’Malley. When I finally went in, he used a light-​up ring, and an Elmo ring for me to follow with my eyes, as well as having «Toy Story 3» playing in the background. No complaints here as an adult! It’s funny!
Dr. O’Malley is a great doc. He’s incredibly smart (hope so after 35 years!), and great sense of humor. He will definitely keep you smiling and immediately put you at ease. To give you a small symbol of his personality, he had on light orange Converse the day of my surgery. I love Converse, so that scored big points with me.
On to my recent surgery… Nothing short of amazing. My eye muscles were not cooperating for him (of course) and the surgery took a little longer, but he did what he intended to do. I’m pretty sure it was a good learning experience for his assisting doctor. He always exceeds my expectations. He did a phenomenal job, and I couldn’t be happier. My eye looks great, and feels pretty good too! He gave me his personal cell phone number to call him if I have any issues or concerns. Pretty cool!
If you’re not impressed by my experience, maybe this will:
Dr. O’Malley has been involved with ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital since I’ve been seeing him, and probably longer. He travels to China every year (if I’m not mistaken) to help with surgeries for children who are visually impaired. Truly an amazing guy. There is no doubt that Dr. O’Malley is passionate about what he does, especially when it involves children.
