Going to a GI Doctor is not always the easiest or most comfortable doctor visits one likes to go to, especially when needing to be examined. What makes Dr. O’Connor stellar is his professional but personal demeanor in listening to you and making you feel comfortable. Not once did he ever assume that I was “gay” or “straight.” He is the first doctor that as ever asked me if I had a “male, female or both partners.” Once I revealed that I was gay, he didn’t skip a beat. Unlike some doctor’s I have seen, once I told them I was gay, they treated me differently, but Dr. O’Connor treated me like a patient should be treated. However, what did change is what he contributed to the conversation because he was able to talk about potential issues with gay men. He has a wealth of knowledge and is so down to earth. If you need a GI doctor, go to him. You will not be disappointed!
