About Seth O'Donnell

Dr. Seth O’Donnell graduated Cum Laude with his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Notre Dame. He then earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from New York Medical College in Valhalla, NY and completed his internship in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in Portsmouth, VA. Dr. O’Donnell then finished his residency in orthopedic surgery at the Warren Alpert School of Medicine at Brown Univeristy in Providence, RI.

Dr. O’Donnell has always been a natural problem solver and enjoys challenges. His personal philosophy of care is centered around collaboration, approaching the treatment of each patient as an individual, exhausting all non-operative measures when possible, and using surgery when indicated to maximize every patient’s opportunity to return to independence and desired activity. He enjoys being able to care for patients across all age and activity spectrums – each with very different functional goals and interests.

When not at work, Dr. O’Donnell enjoys freediving and spear fishing, baking, spending time with his family, and traveling. Dr. O’Donnell is a former Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy.

  • nothing at this time

  • Courtesy helpful made sure I was doing well

  • Dr ODonnell was good. The hour wait to see him was not. My care on this ongoing health problem I am trying to get addressed through South Coast is dragging on two months so far. I've seen several providers with long delays getting to see the next recommended doctor in between. I understand such delays are sort of the norm given the current world situation but it's not a good situation.

  • Very detailed oriented especially taking x-rays for my injury. Explained what he saw and provided a great plan to solve my issues.

  • I was very impressed with the care given by Dr. O'Donnell.

  • The doctor explain everything to me nice Doctor

  • Very welcoming, great listener, very knowledgeable, felt very comfortable talking to him

  • You are always great but at this visit Dr. O'Donnell seemed to be rushed. He went over everything. I didn't leave asking myself questions but he is usually not as rushed.

  • I had a great great experience On my surgery and the staff was super helpful

  • Reception to nurse and Dr O'Donnell was polite and professional. Great office.

  • No complaints

  • I think the people that make the app.need to be more organized.I think they were overbooked.my app.was 1.5 hrs wait.

  • The Dr. was running late due to surgery. The office called but to my surprise she didn't cancel she just asked me to come in a little later that day. I was happy about that. The Dr. Was still trying to play catch up in the office and that puts a lot of stress on everyone but the staff was still so friendly and happy. This was my first time in the office and I pleasantly happy. DR. O'Donnell really explained a lot to me and listened to what I was explaining. He makes you feel really comfortable.

  • Everything was good

  • Dr. O'Donnell is a great doctor and care for his patiences

  • The staff at south coast are the absolute best. Dr. Odonnel gave me options on my health.

  • Long wait time but I assume that is because the provider was a careful listener and took time to explain the diagnosis. I would rather suffer a long wait than an inadequate experience with a provider; for this reason I would highly recommend Dr O'Donnell and I hope he isn't encouraged to operate in a more timely manner at the expense of the patient.

  • Everyone was courteous and didn't rush. Took time to find out concerns.

  • Dr O'Donnell was very friendly, listened and was very caring as to my child's condition. Dr. O'Donnell has got to be one of the best physicians within Southcoast.

  • Very knowledgeable and explained options to correct misalignment of ankle clearly so was able to make future decisions as to treatment. Would recommend this practice without hesitation to address orthopedic issues.

  • The staff was pleasant, courteous, and professional. The doctor expertly explained my options and we formed a plan for treatment.

  • From the checkin staff to the medical assistant to the doctor everyone was so tentative and listened to everything Great office great staff

Southcoast Health physician profiles now feature star ratings.  Below, you’ll find frequently asked questions about our process for calculating the ratings.

Why does Southcoast publish survey ratings online?
Southcoast is dedicated to providing patients and consumers with helpful information about the quality of our patients’ experiences. Star ratings published on our physician biography pages are based on actual responses from patients of that particular physician to patient satisfaction surveys that are distributed and processed by a national patient satisfaction survey vendor.

Who receives the survey?
Our vendor sends surveys via SMS or email to all patients seen in our outpatient physician practices who have a valid smart phone number or email address on file with Southcoast Health. Surveys are sent to patients within a few days of their appointment.

How is the Patient Satisfaction Star Rating Calculated?
Star ratings are calculated using an average of all survey responses to each of three questions: Courtesy and Respect of Staff, Provider Overall Rating, and  Willingness to Recommend Provider’s Office.  The star rating displayed on our physicians’ main biography page represents the average of the three measures for that particular physician.
