    Dr. O'Shannessey is the most caring doctor I have seen so far for my wrist issues. I have seen 5 different specialists and she's the only one to listen to me and show compassion. Also, because she listened so well, she seems to know exactly the best course of action going forward. I am beyond thankful and can't wait for her to help me!
