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.

Compassionate care
Dr. O’Neill took time to understand and diagnose the problem while explaining alternative treatments. Very comfortable and reassuring visit.

Dr ONeil is the Best.
He is very good to explain the problem. Gives the best treatment and does not rush to surgery if not needed. If it is, I would not want anyone other than him to handle my surgery.

Right thumb joint replacement and ligament reconst
His office staff went above and beyond to get my surgery scheduled to meet my needs. I was kept up-to-date prior to surgery on what needed to happen on my end. At the surgery center the entire staff from start to finish, went above and beyond making me comfortable, keeping me informed, comfortable, and very prompt. I even received phone calls several times at home after the surgery.

Right long finger trigger release
Dr. O’Neill performed surgery on my right hand. I found him to be very direct to the point. I did everything as instructed by him and the post op staff to the tee and my healing was as discussed. He did an awesome job and I was thoroughly impressed. If I need the services of a hand specialist in the future, I will be at BGO to see Dr. O’Neill!

Excellent Care Treatment & Care
Dr. O’Neill has performed surgery on each hand. From initial visit,; through my recent post surgery followup, I’ve received wonderful consultation & treatment. From the initial 2023 visit, I have been seen by both Dr. O’Neill & staff. Dr. O’Neill is an excellent surgeon. The staff at BGO are very courteous, knowledgeable & compassionate. The Surgery Centers’ staff were most professional & efficient. In addition; as continuation of treatment, I was referred for OT & have had wonderful ongoing care from BGO PT’s OT & PT professionals. Thank you.

Dr O’Neill has helped me with my dupuytrens contracture on my left hand and now he’s getting ready to do the right one. It’s pretty painful but he is fast and very knowledgeable about what he is doing. I highly recommend him.

Excellent doctor!
I have seen Dr O’Neill three times total and have an upcoming surgery scheduled to repair some hand and nerve issues. I like that Dr O’Neill is direct and to the point. My current situation is somewhat complicated, but he took time during office evaluation to examine options for treatment and studied if surgery would be needed.Dr O’Neill suggested further testing before deciding on surgery. Neurological testing determined that my condition would require surgery. He is not a doctor who just wants to do surgery without looking at less invasive options.I’m comfortable with Dr O’Neill’s qualifications and experience. I believe you will be hard pressed to find anyone any better qualified. His reputation is top notch and that’s why I sought his professional views.
