Dr. O'Dwyer was everything I hoped from a neurology consultant. He was compassionate, confident, thorough and honest. I sought follow-up advice from him as a young, otherwise healthy 37 year old having recently suffered a stroke from a neck dissection. I felt dismissed by my NHS care. Maggie, his PA, was incredibly prompt and attentive in assisting me in the booking process and helping collect the necessary reports. Dr. O'Dwyer treated me with the utmost respect, and took the time to help me fully understand what had happened to me, the reality of my current risk and collectively what my care plan should be. I am incredibly grateful to have Dr. O'Dwyer as part of my support team now and will be using his service going forward.

Dr O'Dwyer is thorough, understanding and very personable. Having struggled with migraines for two years I needed a doctor who would listen, understand and be proactive in helping me. I got exactly this with Dr O'Dwyer. He's a really lovely man and I would highly recommend him.
