WOW! What a disaster!! Waited over 45 minutes, I had the 1st appointment after lunch, so I figured the appointment would be fairly quickly..WRONG! The entire time he was in the exam room, the door was opened, his tone was very degrading, didn't care I was in pain, never looked at the x-ray from urgent care, I was told I most likely had a fracture, he just said ice and elevate. Went to another Dr and I most definitely had a fracture, now im on crutches and a cast. What a waste of time and money.

I had a previous bunionectomy on my right foot, that was not very satisfactory, at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Tremendous pain and swelling, use of hardware, and a long recovery time. We moved to FL and Dr. O'Neill performed a bunionectomy on my left foot. He used a totally different procedure. There was minimal pain and swelling, no hardware, and a shorter recovery period. I was amazed. The results were so much better and it is a joy to see my foot with straight toes and no signs of a bunion.

He has the worst bedside manner ever!! Reading some of the reviews about him, I 100% agree with other people. Go to Sarasota Orthopedic Associates!!

Never met a doctor more disinterested in me as a patient. No examination, few questions, cursory responses to my questions. Had recent x rays from previous doctor. He complained that they were poor quality but had no interest in taking new x rays.

My first visit with Dr O'Neill was one of reassurance, compassion and explanation of what was going on with my ankle. Dr O'Neill is warm, caring easy to talk with Dr. He listens to your questions. I need felt rushed.

Wow. The personable & caring physician I had seen in 2 prior office visits morphed into a brusque & rude person once I was in the preop area of the same day surgery center. He appeared in front of my stretcher a few minutes before the scheduled procedure & was angry & uncommunicative. Things only went downhill from there. As a retired health care professional, I thought I was used to temperamental personalities but I was already prepped & vulnerable, unable to deal with this in avproductive way

Dr. O'Neill preformed hammertoe surgery for me on 5 toes at the same time. The surgery went so well, and while it is a very painful surgery, the pain was controlled as well as possible with my pain medication. He impressed me with his knowledge and the outcome is amazing. I appreciate him and his office personnel professionalism and kindness and would, and do give his name to others who are in need of a top notch Podiatrist. Thank you Dr. O'Neill. Margie Turner

I wish there were more doctors like Dr. O'Neal. He diagnosed my problem accurately, explained patiently what the treatment was and showed me how to dress my foot. I never felt rushed and he was very kind and caring. I have complete faith in his medical expertise and would highly recommend him to anyone,

After seeing other Drs. who did not help me overcome terrible heel pain, Dr. O'Neill correctly diagnosed it as an Achilles tendon problem that could be corrected by surgical lengthening. Dr. O'Neill explained the process and recovery time accurately. I followed Drs. orders to the letter and am now completely foot-pain free. I can count Drs. I would recommend on one hand, but Dr. O'Neill is one of them.
