Dr. John Alex O'Connell

I have been a patient of Dr. O'Connell's for almost one year. She is kind, attentive, experienced and very knowledgable. I would highly recommend Dr. O'Connell to everyone. She has helped me tremendously. Her staff is so caring and wonderful. After reading some of the negative reviews, I have to wonder if they actually were patients of hers.

Was cold and uncaring, quick physical and recommended therapy, no ex ray or MRI.

Unskilled at dealing with disc issues. Does not seem to understand patients pain or limitations involved due to severe disc problems. Very uncaring and has no real solutions. Should not be dealing with these patients. Telling them to just get up and moving and that’s why they have the pain shows his total ignorance of their condition, would not wish it on him!.. I would never recommend him to anyone!

Dr. O'Connell. Is Great Explains Clearly And Understands Patient Needs.

If I could have given zero stars, that would have been the preferable rating. Do not make an appointment to see him. He doesn't have a single care about treating the patient, just about scheduling procedures - if the procedure doesn't work, he washes his hands of the patient and prevents them from seeing a more qualified doctor in his office. Don't make this mistake!

Went To see him for a second opinion my husbands herniated disc we felt that he was very cold and Non interested in his past history and chief complaint. Played down his symptoms and just recommended physical therapy. Which had not helped him. Would stay away from him!!!

Took my 87 year old Mom who was having severe pain in her back, spine and hip area. He hardly looked at her and told her she needed physical therapy. He was cold and felt like he couldn't be bothered. I ended up taking my Mom to another specialist in a different location other than Cleveland Clinic and she was diagnosed with stage IV cancer. My Mom died 6 weeks later. Stay away from this doctor.

I had to see Dr. O'Connell for a severe herniated disc issue (diagnosed with MRIs) while my doctor was on maternity leave. He is cold, curt and comes off as uncaring to the needs and comfort of his patients. After his consult I was scheduled for spinal steroid injection a month later to help alleviate the pain. During that month wait I came back to see him due to the intense pain not allowing me to sleep and requested a new pain Rx. He made me feel very unwelcome and was unprofessional.

I’ve only seen him once for my sciatic pain. He took his time & listened to my bouts eith sciatica and a scam pain management dr. He was not quick to give me pills or shots, but suggested physical therapy. He gave me several names for therapy and told me his patients had good results at Partners in Motion (Boynton Beach or Lake Worth facility). I’ve finished ny therapt & will make a follow. Up apptmnt with him. Nice demeanor and doesn’t rush you.

I have been to many doctors for my condition and wanted a second opinion. I felt he was very cold and robotic and spent minimal time with me. Felt like he had no compassion. While he sent me in the direction I need to go, I left feeling very disspointed. I would not return to this dr. unless absolutely necessary.
