"I see all these reviews about Dr. O'Malley being so stiff and hard. All I can say is that he is amazing. HE SAVED MY LIFE! Yes, he knows it. He knows he is changing lives. He also knows the relapse rate of these surgeries and how people well..... can SCREW it up. I have. And so will you. We will all screw up maybe a few times maybe a lot. The thing is Dr. O'Malley (in my opinion) wants to see that you are informed, educated on your choice of surgery and READY. Does that make him wrong... NO. My advice: Go into your appointment with him informed. Know exactly what you are getting yourself into. Don't argue your point with him, be patient and speak your mind. He has been awesome with me. I have extreme PTSD. functioning is hard for me and I panic alot. I called him several times late at night, worried, and scared. He was great with me, he always set my mind at ease. I honestly feel he understands my health as well as mental illness. He has always been very reassuring. I saw him last week for my (late) 1 year post op. He was all smiles. I can't thank him enough. Good luck all, do your research and you will do great. PS, I went through the program at Highland Hospital 3 times before I was successful, but 4 years later I made it. You can too. "
