Overview

As a young child, I remember telling my parents I wanted to be a doctor, just like my father.  While he specialized in pathology, I decided that primary care was better suited to my goals of helping people stay healthy, caring for the sick, and maintaining the dignity of all people. I believe in always listening carefully to the patient.

His clinical expertise encompasses High Cholesterol, Glucocorticoid-Remediable Aldosteronism, Hypertension, and Familial Hypertension.

He is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 15 peer reviewed articles. Dr. O'connell is currently accepting new patients.
