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.

Dr O'Neill operated on me in October 2015 at Vanderbilt in Nashville TN. I was very pleased with him, and his staff. I had to have very involved back surgery due to an injury. I am now walking well without having to use a cane. I am 66 years old. You can't go wrong with Dr. O'Neill!

I’ve seen Dr. O’Neill three times at the OrthoIndy hospital on Northwest Blvd. The first two times were office visits and the third was for micro disc back surgery. I had a herniated disc at L5-S1 that was compressing nerves on the right side. The disc eventually became severely herniated causing numbness in my foot and leg along with excruciating pain from my lumbar all the way down my leg into my foot. During my office visits Dr. O’Neill never rushed me and always let me speak. He listens well and takes time to explain things. He would use a voice recorder to take notes about my condition and MRI findings. I found him to be very kind and professional. I had micro disc back surgery 7 days ago (May 20, 2020). Prior to my surgery I was taking several medications at high doses and could barely walk. Now a week after surgery I’m only taking Celebrex and Gabapentin twice a day - both low dose. No narcotics. I feel great. I am forever grateful to Dr. O’Neill.

Dr. O'Neill I can't thank you enough for the surgery on September 1,2014 I had a terrible car accident and I needed back surgery at Vanderbilt Hospital and I wanted to tell you I'm moving around because I was going to be paralyzed from waist down and you repaired my sciatic nerve and I get to at least move on my own. Thanks to you I have a better life and I can feel stinging still,but I can move and I have been bending over to pick things from the floor and I'm stronger because of you . Thanks!

Dr. O'Neill is first-rate at every aspect of medicine: he actually listens to the patient, responds to questions or concerns, is an excellent surgeon who did a wonderful job reconstructing a collapsed section of my spine, and kept scarring to a minimum. From the start, I knew I was in kindly, professional, extremely capable hands. Surgical follow up is just as thorough, and I can't overstate how carefully Dr. O'Neill has managed my surgeries and recovery.

We went to Dr. O'Neill for a second opinion, & are so very thankful that we did!! I've never seen a physician so attentive to detail and also kind!! We would recommend him to everyone!! In fact, we do, my husband and I both carry his cards and hand them out if someone is thinking about back surgery. (I just gave one out at WalMart over the weekend) He didn't give us unrealistic expectations, but also recommended less surgery than the other neurosurgeon. My husband is doing GREAT!!

Absolutely wonderful physician. I had emergent surgery in August 2016, and Dr. O'Neill was so patient with my family and myself it was incredible. Dr. O'Neill answered all questions with proper wording so that everyone understood his responses. Dr. O'Neill also did not mind repeating himself if questions were repetitive. The moment I met Dr. O'Neill I knew that he was a capable physician for the surgery I was scheduled for. St.Vincent Hospital 86th street-awesome Staff.

Dr ONeill did a spinal fusion T4 to S 1, May 26, 2015. Prior to surgery I was in horrific pain, I was bent forward as well as to my right side. Today 11 months post op my pain level has gone from an constant 8 to a 4. I am able to walk without the use of a cane, which I couldn't walk without one. Dr O'Neill's made me feel relaxed from the moment I met him to the last time I saw him.

Dr. O'neil is not only knowledgeable, but is also very skilled in what he does! With the amount of scoliosis I had I was amazed how straight my back is now and how much better my back feels now after having surgery! He spent more time with me explaining procedures, my actual surgery and my recovery than any other doctor I've ever had. His level of compassion and understanding is phenomenal!
