Mr O'Neil was very kind to my elderly mother and completely understood her pain issues, which has been overlooked before now because of her age. It was very important to us that she felt someone was finally listening to her and was clear about realistic solutions going forward.

A wonderful human and an incredible neurosurgeon. I was incredibly lucky to be referred to Mr O’Neill on discovery of a brain tumour. He was honest, calm, reassuring and incredibly kind.

Highly recommended and yet accessible. He listened to my back history and exuded confidence that he could help improve my situation. I have only had one appointment and all rides now on the results of my MRI.

This neurosurgeon I believe is very different in approach from other consultants I have experienced.He professes to be a holistic neurosurgeon and indeed he is. His interactive encompassing approach enables you to feel fully involved in your treatment , a factor that I value highly when undergoing any kind of treatment. He is extremely thorough ,open and highly skilled: a factor made apparent by the plethera of articles he has published over the years. Couldnt recommend this Neurosurgeon more highly. One of the greats.
