I was in a car accident in July 2015, and sustained injuries to my neck and back. I was referred to Rich O’Dea by my chiropractor, and every day since that time, Rich has been available anytime I’ve had a question or concern. Rich has explained the entire process clearly and each process has gone just as he has explained it. It’s also comforting to know that you’re only dealing with him directly, your not pawned off to other people in the office. I would refer Rich O’Dea to my family, friends or stranger’s knowing that they’re in the best hands .

I was in an auto accident in the fall of 2017. I sustained neck and back injuries, totaled my vehicle, and had many medical bills to worry about. Rich was a tremendous help in exploring my options, thoroughly explaining the process and procedures, and being upfront with what he thought of the overall outcome.

After multiple phone calls with insurance companies, I decided it was time to see Rich and I am so glad that I did. He was very informative throughout the whole process and was able to give great advice based on his experience. I was able to get all of my medical expenses paid which is all I wanted.
