At my first appointment with Dr. O'Neill, I was in so much pain that I was frantic. Dr. O'Neill came into the room, sat down, and truly listened. He responded with empathy and kindness which was exactly what I needed. He walked me through the X-ray results, advised an MRI, and sent me on my way. The MRI revealed that my hip had no cartilage remaining and that was the source of my pain. I had to wait a few months for surgical availability so during that time I tried a hip injection which I thought might tide me over until the operation. Unfortunately, the injection didn't have any effect, and I was back to square one with managing my pain until my surgery date. Finally, the day for surgery came and I was so ready. The nursing staff at the surgical center were amazing and the surgery went smoothly. That afternoon, I was up and walking around the hallway with a walker. It felt great! The first night was rough but that was to be expected. I was already sent home the next day. Now, I am eight-weeks post-surgery and back to walking my three miles a day pain free. It's amazing! I highly recommend Dr. O’Neill and his team. He is not only an outstanding surgeon, but also a decent human being.
