Report
When the sugery performed for a herniated disk resulted in more pain than before, her partner mysteriously left the group. According to O'Shea she didn't know where he was practicing. It took 5 minutes on the internet to find his new office in PA. As far as still being in pain and wanting to continue being treated, I was told to seek pain management from RelieveUS. A pill pushing pain management clinic. I wonder why another reviewer says she's been treated for 7 or 8 years by O'Shea. She certainly hasn't done any healing. O'Shea and her "practice" is a scam.

I had 3 bulging and herniated discs in my neck from a mva I saw Dr. O'Shea and she didn't even mention other options surgery wise.she just instantly brought up fusing my neck and saying I was too young for the surgery and was more worried about a tooth in my mouth. Just brushed me off like there weren't other options for my neck. 2 doctors later and my neck has 2 replacement discs and is fused and I'm still getting a bill from her office that my insurance has paid. Find a doctor who actually cares about your situation unlike Dr. O'Shea. I wouldn't recommend this practice to anyone.

This office needs to find someone who cares about their patients as Dr. Bussey did. For a person to walk out of the office and have their concern daughter call the office immediately to have a couple of questions answered, and be told by the answering service it's not an emergency is unacceptable. Then the service hung up on me and when I insisted on speaking to a supervisor she said there wasn't anything she could do to contact the dr. After stating my point, she went and spoke to the Dr who said if he can't make it in forget it.what doctor would say that.unbelievable!

I would NEVER recommend Joan O'Shea to anyone. I went to her with a herniation in my neck and was suffering from extreme pain. She told me the only reason that I was in any pain was because I was F A T.

I've been a patient of Dr O'She for the past 7or 8 years and I can truly say that she is one of the best, not only is she sophisticated she really cares about her patients and she has really been a true Blessing in life because the pain I've been in since 2002 and out of all the Dr's I've seen she's the only one that really listened to me and gave me the help I so desperately needed and eased my pain, I would recommend her to anyone. So here's to you Dr. O'Shea and thank you so very much for all you've done for me over the yrs. D. Blackwell formerly Afifi
