Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Grateful Patient!
Excellent MD! Neurology is not an easy area of speciality, especially when it comes to pain, but Dr. O'Carroll is AMAZING! I had seen 4 other Neurologists before Dr. O'Carroll and all they did was follow their text-book scripts (which DID NOT WORK!) to address my CRUSHING migraines.Dr. O'Carroll is BRILLIANT! He and his staff (Thank you, Sally!), work tirelessly to improve the quality of life for patients and I am SO appreciative. I have my life back! Was not an easy road and there is trial and error - but at least they are willing to TRY to figure out the puzzle of pain! Cannot thank Dr. O and his staff (Thank you, Stephanie) enough. They have tough jobs dealing with people in pain, all day long and still try their very best to have patience with me and other patience that I see, also waiting to be treated.SO happy to not be in pain anymore. THANK YOU!

Relief!
I have been a patient for over 20 years. I have chronic migraine. We started with profilactic methods. We have tried various modalities and finally, after suffering from migraine for 40 years have found relief! Dr. OCarroll knows, as a migraine sufferer himself, everyone is different and sometimes it does take trial and error. I know from my experience this is true. He was my 5th neurologist in as many years. His office staff is caring and attentive. Also, Dr. O'Carroll keeps current. That's important when you have migraine. I'm finally living migraine free after having 3 migraines a week. It wasn't easy. But you need a Dr. who understands and will take the time to work with you.

Dr O’Carroll took his time and listened to my health concerns. I believe that his years of experience was a definite factor that enabled him to quickly diagnose and treat my medical condition. You want a professional these days that knows what they are doing. Dr O’ Carroll is a pro and saved my life in a time of crisis. I often talk about his expertise to family and friends and I highly recommend him. Thank you, Anthony Walsh

After doctors, even specialists at UCLA, had misdiagnosed my neurological condition and terrible migraines and vertigo episodes, I was finally referred to Dr. O'Carroll by my OB/GYN, my Physiologist, and my Inner-Ear specialist. ALL three recognized experts in their fields; all three recommended Dr. O'Carroll as the one doctor most equipped to figure out what I had been dealing with for, at that time, more than 10 years. They were right! Dr. O'Carroll is brilliant. He saved my life!!
