Dr. O'Gara is a wonderful doctor. He genuinely cares about me and I look forward to seeing him. He has a fantastic bedside manner and takes the most complicated of topics and breaks them down so that the technical matters are easy to understand. Understandably, he is in very demand, but he has a way of never seeming to be rushed. He remembers incredible details and facts from prior conversations that make me feel that he cares about me as a patient. It is extraordinary. I also feel that he is with me on my health journey and while he holds me accountable, I never feel judged, but motivated. I always want to demonstrate to him that I listened and am keeping up my responsibilities. I don't want to disappoint him. He takes the time to listen to all my observations/questions for him that I have gathered throughout the year. That is so important to me because it makes me feel confident that my diligence to my health is valued by someone that does this for a living and has very broad experience. Dr. O'Gara is also extremely thoughtful in how he communicates which again demonstrates great empathy and gives me confidence that he is on top of my medical condition. As a result of all the above, I am very comfortable in his presence. So much so that I can be emotional about my fears and he helps me understand that I am doing what I need to be doing. Dr. O'Gara is very special to me and my family and I am glad he is in my life. [redacted] there is only one Dr. O'Gara.
