My other eye will need surgery down the road and I wouldn’t hesitate to use your facility with Dr. O’Keefe as my surgeon. The surgical team was outstanding. Mar 2018
We met with Dr. O’Keefe at 7:30 on Saturday evening of Labor Day weekend and didn’t leave until almost 10 PM. He did surgery at 7:30 am on Sunday. This is almost unbelievable. He and his team went so far above and beyond our expectations. It is almost impossible to describe. Judy G. Sep 2017

He is extremely devoted and can get tasks completed without undue stress to his staff or appointments. I regard him as a very special person to have for a doctor.
