How appointments are scheduled. The professionalism, and knowledge of the staff, the techs, as well as the nurses, PAs and doctors. For the last few years, when a specialist is needed, I have been choosing Strong providers. I am very happy to now have my primary care through Strong as well.

Karen always goes above and beyond what other providers seem to offer. In this case she gave me some information about how to treat the problem but more importantly she got me into see the specialist that I needed within 48 hours rather than waiting almost 3 months. this is a phenomenal service and she always comes through doing things like that to make treatment happen sooner. She does little things that make a difference that doctors generally seem too busy to offer. I cannot say enough good things about Karen.
Dec 27, 2023

May 26, 2023
I find all of the professionals at Pulsifer to be worthy of special recognition, from Andrea in reception, to Debbie the nurse, to Karen O'Shea, to Dr. Dobrzynski. In fact, I think so highly of Pulsifer and Dr. Dobrzynski that I recommended all my immediate family members to his practice decades ago! So far, so good! My mother is about to turn [...], God willing, is as sharp as a tack, and is as big a fan of Dr. Dobrzynski and his associates at Pulsifer as she was of the Beatles!
May 26, 2023
I truly feel extraordinarily grateful to have access to such knowledgeable and caring medical practioners. I understand the tremendous personal sacrifices that are required to earn the right to provide medical care for others and then to engage in that practice day after day. The folks at Pulsifer are, in my opinion, about as caring and competent as is possible. Again, I am truly grateful to have access to them if and when needed.

Apr 07, 2023
My visit was for the annual exam. [...] I was seen by Karen O'Shea. [...] O'Shea was there to take the necessary time to do and explain everything that needed to be done. She reminded me of the best doctor I ever had (Ann Shamaskin). Even though Karen O'Shea is not a "full fledged doctor", I have decided to stay with her, as she made me feel like the most important person in the room.
Apr 05, 2023
Karen O'Shea is a perceptive, warm, efficient PA. She is definitely an asset to the practice.

Mar 18, 2023
This was my first visit - have been looking for a good doctor/(NP) for a long time. Karen O'Shea was wonderful! [...]
Mar 15, 2023
Karen O'Shea. First time I met with her for my medical checkup, she want through, patient, caring, and knowledgeable. She addressed all my concerns and very caring while seeing me. I find a lot of doctors to be condescending sometimes and they don't patients concerns seriously.
Mar 15, 2023
Karen O'Shea was wonderful! I hope to see her permanently
Mar 15, 2023
Experience was exceptional!
Mar 15, 2023
My concerns were dealt with immediately and I received a call about my ultrasound results within 24 hours. My primary care doctor was out of town and I was able to connect with his assistant, Karen O'Shea. She was outstanding when working through my concerns and I trust her and Dr. D 100 percent with my health care!
Mar 15, 2023
I am so happy with this office and with Karen OShea, NP
Mar 13, 2023
I brought up a concern I had and not once did she ask why I was concerned. Instead, she listed off reasons, very condescendingly, about what I am doing wrong and what I could do better not even asking if I was already doing those things. She continued on even after I shut down and didn't want to speak to her anymore. I felt unheard and humiliated. I was even more depressed and defeated leaving than when I went in because this was a genuine concern I have. There was no warmth in her. I have never seen her before and will never see her again. I refuse to share my medical records with her.
Mar 13, 2023
NP Karen O'Shea saw me on this visit and the following day immediately after a scheduled ultrasound for continuing evaluation of my abdominal issue. Ms. O'Shea was exceptionally personable, knowledgeable and thorough in her medical assessment of my pain.
Mar 10, 2023
I have been with this primary office for approximately 7 years and from telephone, reception, to providers, have consistently been met with courtesy, understanding and professionalism.
Mar 10, 2023
Can't imagine a finer practice to which to belong. Lucky, lucky, lucky.
Mar 08, 2023
Karen O'Shea is fabulous. Excellent listener. Treated me with respect. Educated me appropriately. She is a huge asset! 5 stars for her.
Mar 01, 2023
Karen did any excellent job
Feb 24, 2023
Give me more ideas about what could be the issue if the blood tests all check out fine or what my next steps might be. Don't assume that if bloodwork comes back OK that there's really nothing to address further.
Feb 24, 2023
My doctor is *Dr. David Dobrynski but I would rather see *Karen O'Shea NP.
Feb 23, 2023
Positive experience.
Feb 23, 2023
Karen is the most empathetic and caring person.
Feb 17, 2023
Karen O'Shea did a great job of bringing in Dr. Suter to exercise his opinion and expertise on a perplexing mouth sore I had.
Feb 17, 2023
Karen and her nurse were both very kind and thorough .
Feb 17, 2023
Karen O'Shea is the best. So is Dobrynski I feel so fortunate to have them caring about me
Feb 16, 2023
[...] Provider offered outstanding experience.
Feb 11, 2023
This was the first time I visited Pulsifer Health and met Karen O'Shea. I am always nervous about meeting a new clinician due to many negative experiences in the past. Karen was outstanding in the way she listened and acted on my concerns. She's very caring and down to earth. I was so very pleasantly surprised!
Feb 11, 2023
I was very impressed with Karen's thoroughness, knowledge, and kindness.
Feb 11, 2023
Karen was great!

Feb 02, 2023
Great follow up!!!' Easy to talk to. Not dismissive of my concerns
Jan 28, 2023
Karen O'Shea who even called me in the late afternoon to give me the results of the X-ray. She seemed very happy for me knowing that I did NOT have a hairline fracture show up on the x-ray. Also, Andrea at the front desk.... She has been efficient, professional and friendly for years.
Jan 26, 2023
Karen O'Shea - she is phenomenal.
Jan 26, 2023
Karen O'Shea dumbed down real concerns for my health. She was rude, not understanding and didn't listen to me. The experience was no good and I'm still having the health problems I can in to see about. Also my real doctor never has any open appointments to see me. I don't want to continue coming to this practice since the experience was horrible. I went in talking about mental health issues and O'Shea made me feel more depressed by the time I left. This happened because she talked down to me and really didn't understand or connect with anything I had to say. And also she showed no empathy.
Jan 23, 2023
I have seen Karen O'Shea about 3x over several years and every time her explanations were so thorough as was her attention to my individual needs. She quickly got me the excellent follow-up I needed.
Jan 23, 2023
I really appreciated that Karen O'Shea carefully looked through my records and was aware of all previous treatments and fully explained past tests and X-Rays etc., quickly got me connected to the necessary provider and gave me treatment to help my issues.
Jan 23, 2023
It was excellent care!!!
Jan 20, 2023
Having confidence in Karen OShea that my medical issues will put me in a better place, Healthier.
Jan 20, 2023
[...] great visit.
Jan 19, 2023
I was sent to PCP office by Psych NP due to severe brain fog. I had an appointment last Monday. When I described it to provider she literally said "what would you like me to do about it", I said my Psych NP recommended I see them and get blood work. She ordered labs. Yesterday, I had stroke symptoms when I was out of town by myself and had to have an MRI at a hospital in [...] after "failing" the neuro test at the urgent care . The records were sent. A stroke ruled out but there is an issue that I was told I have to see a neurologist for now.
Jan 18, 2023
Ms. O'Shea did an excellent job of helping me identify my presenting concern, and she invited Dr. Murray to assist in my diagnosis. They made a great team.
Jan 12, 2023
[...] my visit went exceptionally well
Jan 12, 2023
[...] I have seen Karen many times in the past and she always listens and then explains things in a very visual and understandable manner
Jan 11, 2023
My provider is very kind in nature; however, she dismissed a lot of my concerns. I walked away without resolving the issue I was concerned about, and I dread the thought of returning to continue to see if I can be treated. It felt like she just wanted to give a diagnosis and get me out the door. I understand things have been overwhelming in healthcare, but I believe this aspect of patient care could be better.
Jan 07, 2023
I was very grateful that Karen Oshea could see me as soon as she did. She is always helpful
Dec 28, 2022

Dec 23, 2022
Whole appointment very smooth. Learning of my symptoms by reviewing a MyChart message (I had laryngitis and could not talk) triage nurse (RN) called my home very quickly after I sent the message and set up appointment with Karen O'Shea the same day. Ms. O'Shea was knowledgeable and a very good listener. I have seen her several times over the years when my doctor's schedule was full. They have excellent staff in this practice!
Dec 15, 2022
Ms. O'Shea was thorough and decided to test me for Covid, flu and RSV. When that was ruled out, she advised me of several things and over-the-counter medications that could help me as well as advising me not to talk or whisper if I could avoid it. She then followed up with me on MyChart two different times and asked for updates on my condition. The follow-up was sincerely appreciated.

She is such a great person - very kind and caring - and has a fantastic sense of humor, too! On this day, "Andrea" was not there (may have been on vacation but she is always fantastic. The gal filling in for her that day was so very nice and helpful, too. This is just the best organization.

Karen has an extensive background in cardiac care and provided a very informative, understandable and reassuring explanation, with diagrams, of the reason for my skipped beats, PVCs, how to see them demonstrated on the EKG strip reading printout and pursued further testing to detect any other possible cardiac abnormality that might contribute to my symptoms. I was very fortunate to have such a skilled practitioner available just when I needed it.
