Dr. O'cconor makes you feel as of you're his only patient of the day. He remembers my concerns from one visit to the next. Nothing is too silly, he will indulge all questions with complete sincerity. My procedures have all resulted in marked improvement with my condition. He is excellent at bridging the gap between his professional knowledge and my understanding. He doesn't take himself too serious. He's a pretty good Urological artists also.
