“I could never adequately express our appreciation for Dr. O and her staff in a single review box. I will say if you or someone you love is experiencing facial paralysis reach out to New York Facial Paralysis ASAP! We traveled all the way from Utah to NYC so Dr. O could help our 3 year old daughter. I took her to numerous doctors in Utah who were uninterested/incapable of helping us. From the first telemedicine consult with Dr.O she immediately presented us with a multifaceted plan. She was the first doctor to even know where to start to help us. That plan came to fruition this week in the operating room, and I am so glad that I followed my heart when it led me to NYC! I will go home with answers and peace that I haven’t had in months. Dr. O, Michelle, and the rest of the staff thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️.”
