Remarkable energy, professional, clear communication
Dr. O'Kane has been patients, caring & helpful with my [...]
Dr. OKane is knowledgeable, experienced, and skilled, plus a caring human being. I first saw him over 20 years ago for a sports injury and he has helped me over the years through sports injuries, sports medicine issues associated with aging, and preventative care that enable me to continue to be active and healthy.
Dr O'Kane was knowledgeable, respectful, efficient, and his procedural skill was great.
John O'Kane is sensational!
The Doctor was incredible!! He was kind, smart, listened well and heard me, provided helpful information about my complicated condition and options for treatment. He spoke in terms that I understood. He heard my concerns. He demonstrated knowledge of my issues. He was patient and took time with me. He included me in decisions and even found time to do a quick procedure at the same appointment rather than making me come back a few weeks later. He covered all the bases. Excellent care.
I've seen Dr. O'Kane off & on for over two decades. I really appreciate the fact that he is not quick to recommend surgery and seems to appreciate that being able to participate in sports and to remain physically active is very important to me. [...] Dr. O'Kane is very personable and easy to talk to. I hope he doesn't decide to retire for a long time!
