Dr, O'Connor is the best cardiologist in the nation. He has taken care of me multiple times and his care is extraordinary. He and his team at the Duke Heart Center are top-notch. He is nationally ranked on US News and World Report and is lead author on multiple journals and publications. Aside from the fact that Dr. O'Connor is objectively highly ranked on multiple sources, he truly cares about his patients. The most important factor when choosing a doctor is quality of care and results. Dr. O'Connor excels in both of those categories. I am completely dumbfounded by the two low reviews on this website and I would not trust those low reviews because they obviously do not know Dr. O'Connor and are attempting to run a smear campaign via a non-credible online doctor rating website. I would urge you to trust the facts and objective measures when selecting your doctor. I highly recommend Dr. O'Connor because of his expertise and overall quality of care.

Treats his colleagues with disrespect and is very egotistical.
