I had a very positive experience during my recent office visit. The surgeon was knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I felt heard, respected, and confident in the care plan moving forward. The staff was also kind and professional.The only area for improvement would be timeliness. My appointment started later than scheduled, and the wait time was longer than expected. While I understand that medical offices can run behind, better communication regarding delays would have been appreciated.Overall, I'm grateful for the quality of care I received and would recommend this surgeon to others.
All appointments after surgery went well and. Everything in healing process was discussed with me so I knew what to expect in next few weeks as healing takes place.
Retired MD. Everything was as expected

Dr. O'Donnell was very kind and listened most importantly. He gave me options and told me the pros and cons of the decision I make. The staff was exceptional. I'm very very happy on how I was treated today and they all ensured me, I'll be fine and I'll fully recover.
Doctor and his staff were polite and seemed genuinely concerned .
At check out there was much confusion as where to go!!! Had to go back in a Long line of people checking in.?? Should have signage as it was vèry chaotic. Also, why can't they greet you like you are human instead of a robot? Thank you.
[Name] PAR, was very friendly and helpful. [Name] the other PAR was also helpful. The provider was very nice and I felt he listened to my concerns.
Southcoast orthopedics is a wonderful office, the staff at the front desk are very patient and kind. The X-Ray technicians made me laugh so I felt relaxed. This was the first time I met Dr. O'Donnell and he had obviously reviewed my record prior to the appointment, which is always a plus. He also asked about my Physical Therapy as there were no notes (I am going locally in RI). I received a thorough exam with explanation of what he was looking for, and he answered all of my questions. Before this appointment, I felt something might be wrong with my healing process, but he assured me that is not the case, and I do not need surgery! Thank you for the wonderful care and reassurance.
First visit for lump on ankle that isn't a problem. However, my PCP recommended I see an orthopedist. Xrays done, MRI next. Taken on time, staff pleasant and professional as was the doctor.
The physician was very helpful and courteous about my issue and provided me with some helpful tips .
Waited 45 minutes to be seen.
Dr O'Donnell took the time to explain my options for surgery to correct 4 hammer toes and get me walking normally with no pain
The check-in process could have been faster, but everything else was perfect. All the staff were very easy to deal with. Very, very pleasant staff.
My appointment was made in a timely manner, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The doctor did a full exam and did take the time to discuss my options. Overall it was a good visit and I was satisfied.
Tough appointment day. X-ray machine went down after lunch so there was a large backlog of patients with less than wonderful manners. Staff was as always champs in the face of adversity out of their hands. Thank you for your professionalism. [Name] [Name]
The staff person who removed my splint, assisted me with the stairs in X-rays, and put in my cast as well as explain how to adjust it Mr [Name] was so respectful, supportive, genuine, and went out of his way to ease my embarrassment when having difficulty getting up the stairs. The entire office was amazing and so helpful and accommodating my first time seeing the doctor and he explained things in a way I could fully understand
Dr. O'Donnell was amazing. As was his staff. I am grateful for the care they provided. So much understandable information. Can't recommend them enough
Not much you can do to improve on excellence
Dr O'Donnell, [Name] xray tech and front desk were all great.
I am completely satisfied with the results of my appointment with Dr O'Donnell. He was very clear and helpful in explaining my situation.
Great professional advice
From check-in to check-out, I enjoyed this office. It was easy to park and enter, which is important for someone with lower extremity problems. Dr. O'Donnell asked pointed questions, asked me what I would want to happen and we came up with a conservative plan of care. He is an amazingly credentialed surgeon who doesn't push people toward surgery. I highly recommend this practice.
Dr i saw was ok but not personable at all. He said who he was sat across the room and said what can I do for you?? And just looked at me. I said I dont know. Looked at me again and said nothing until I spoke.
He was kind and listened to what I had to say. He didn't make me feel it was in my mind. He's a very nice man
Very efficient office with exceptional staff trying their best to help me. I am very impressed.
Dr. Seth is amazing. I have told people about him and his work on my Achilles surgery. I can't say enough about him and staff, they are all so good at making sure you're taken care of. X-ray team caring and understanding. [Name] the assistant another great worker. Listening and being respectful. Makes you feel better about yourself. No judgement in this office. They are so caring. From intake- leaving everyone is about you as an individual & your care. Great team.
Office staff are thorough and efficient. Everyone was pleasant and helpful. The doctor was well-versed with my medical testing and explained his perspective on further treatment.
Everyone from check in, to xrays, to assistance, and doctor are all friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Visits have been extremely timely. Dr. O'Donnell is thorough, explains everything, and answers any questions. He has a plan and then follows up. I would recommend him to everyone with Orthopedic needs!
A very clean and nice building and great staff, knowledgeable, and very helping thank you South Coast
Everyone in the office was very kind and courteous including the doctor. It was my first time there and I'm glad I choose this office
Dr Seth O'Donnell carefully reviewed the history of my injury (this was my first appt with him for this issue as I was on vacation when it happened). He utilized a model of a skeletal foot to aquaint me with my injury, and invited me to review today's X-rays with him. He gave clear instructions on my next steps of recovery, and made sure I knew to reach back out if I had any concerns about. Y progress. He is a strong communicator. The front desk team is very welcoming.
I had a 9:15 appointment and was not seen by the doctor until about 10:00. Then the doctor spent about seven minutes with me. Unfortunately, I did feel the doctor addressed the multiple concerns with my foot. Nor did I leave with an adequate understanding of my condition and what were the possible options to treat my foot pain and repeated swelling.
Everyone was really courteous and I got in promptly. I think the only thing was I felt incredibly rushed with the doctor and I forgot to ask questions because I just felt so rushed. Other than that, the care was fine.
I was very pleased with my new Doctor.He was knowledgeable, kind and caring.He listened to me and offered help to easemy symptoms. I had a wonderful experience.
I was very happy with the entire office. Timely visits and very happy with the results
Liste.ed to my concerns, a.swered my questions, made himself available when I had a concern about the position a toe was day after a pin removal, treated the problem the next am. In office
This provider was very helpful and informative on helping with my situation.
Great staff !
Visit started off with x-rays in a timely manner but once called in from the waiting room it took a long time to see the doctor.
