Dr. O'Neill helps patients suffering from neck and back pain return to a healthy and happy life.
"O’Neill is AMAZING!!! OrthoIndy has also been awesome thru out my surgery/recovery."
"Best hospital ever, all the staff was great. Dr. O’Neill is wonderful; explained everything so it was very easy to understand."
"Kevin O’Neill is #1 you are very blessed to have him on your staff!"
"Very, very professional, was well pleased in all areas. Dr. Kevin O’Neill and his team were excellent!"
"O’Neill and Dr. Anesthesiologist were awesome."
"My surgery experience @ OrthoIndy has been very positive. Dr. O’Neill must be an amazing surgeon because I have had virtually no pain. All the staff and docs I encountered were great to me."
"Kevin O’Neill is the best."
"I would let Dr. O’Neill cut on me if I ever needed it again but let’s hope not. I wouldn’t go anywhere else or use any other dr. I have told many people how wonderful our experience was and already gave a coworker your number & Dr. O’Neill’s name."
"Excellent doctor. I have not taken any pain medicine since you turned off the drip in the operating room. No back pain. No hunting somewhere to sit down or lean constantly. Thank you."
"Thank you so much. You were wonderful. Your staff and everyone so nice and helpful. I would tell everyone to come to you. What was really nice you got me walking so much better. And no waiting. Thank you all so much."
"I want to thank you for giving me back my life. I really never thought that I would be this close to having a pain free life. It has been a long time since I felt this good. I will be giving these cards to friends with back problems. Thanks."
"I want to thank you for the great care and concern. Not only did you fix my back with your skilled hands, you actually genuinely cared about me as a patient and as a person. That is hard to find in today’s medical field, at least in my experience. My sister, which is 4 years younger than I, had exact same surgery with another spine doctor and it did not go well at all. I believe if she had chosen you the outcome would have been much better. I believe your skill and bedside manner made all the difference in my recovery. Thank you for being my doctor."
"Dr. O’Neill is, I believe, at the top of his field. He certainly proved his worth in my case with his highly skilled surgeries to reconstruct a large section of my spine. His minimally invasive strategies made the most of a smaller amount of space, thereby reducing damage to surrounding tissues with less scar tissue. On top of this, Dr. O’Neill is personable, respectful towards patients, and not at all condescending as others I have met in different organizations. Dr. O’Neill and OrthoIndy have dramatically improved my health and prospects, for which I am extremely grateful."
"I want to thank you for giving back my mobility and my pain free life. My wife and I appreciated you answers to our questions and your guidance and patience. I feel very fortunate that you were in my corner. Again thank you so much and God Bless!"
"I received excellent care from Dr. O’Neill. My surgery was an emergency, and Dr. O’Neill met with my family and me and answered all questions regarding the procedure. He assured us the outcome would be good and put our minds at ease. Dr. O’Neill is a brilliant surgeon, who has great communication skills with his patients. I would recommend him to any family or friend in need."
"Outstanding!! Not many other words fit. Bedside manner and his sincere compassion for his patient is far and above most all other physicians. He is honest, does not rush when speaking with the patient or family. Explains any questions and if he does not know – he says so. We live outside of Nashville, TN and have followed him to Indy. Just hope he does not go to Alaska. We would still follow him there. His skill and patience as a surgeon surely shows in the post op results and follow up care. His statement “We are in this together” cemented our decision to choose him as a surgeon to correct a VERY complex and severe scoliosis. Both patient and spouse are very experienced ER RN’s."
"Very good. Good bedside manners. Very professional. I feel good about where he worked on me. Thank you."
"Very happy with my results from day one."
"I am fully satisfied with my treatment. When I first saw Dr. O’Neill I had back and leg pain resulting in drop foot. I had surgery on my back which totally freed me of my pain. I went to PT for the drop foot and it soon went away. I found Dr. O’Neill to be a caring and compassionate doctor. He was very concerned about my drop foot, and gave extra attention to it (a boot so I would not fall and ordered PT).I just want to say I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of my surgery. Everyone was very kind and professional. I would like to thank Eric too. He was very kind and helpful."
"You and everyone else at OrthoIndy were all great. There was no problems at all. Thank you so much for all you’ve done. My back feels great."
"After meeting Dr. O’Neill and listening to him explain my son-in-law’s surgery, in addition to learning of his very impressive resume, I chose him as my surgeon. I would recommend Dr. O’Neill and OrthoIndy at Northwest Blvd. to anyone needing spine surgery. I found all personnel to be very friendly and competent. Everything ran like clockwork and without complications."
"Going into the fusion at my L4-S1, I was absolutely terrified. Due to my prior fusion at the L5-S1 in 1997, it left me with more pain than I went into it. You and your staff were excellent!! You put me at ease, even though I was scared to death! I am feeling much better. I no longer have sciatic nerve pain down either of my legs!! I still have some pain due to the prior surgery. But I am very grateful for the results of surgery I had with you. Thank you."
"Dr. O’Neill did a fantastic job with my back surgery. He was very professional and caring in his pre and post surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. O’Neill to anyone having any type of back problems. I feel Dr. O’Neill is not only an outstanding doctor – he is also an outstanding person."
"I have been very happy with Dr. O’Neill. I like that he explains everything to me. I don’t feel rushed. He tells you if he thinks surgery will work or not. I have told several people about how great a doctor he is."
"I am a former patient of Dr. Trammel. I was so afraid I wouldn’t be able to find another spine surgeon like him but thanks to the good Lord I was directed to you by Dr. Spindler. I absolutely love you and I know I am in good hands. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of me."
"Thank you so much for making such a difference in my life. I feel as though I have my life back, minus the excruciating pain. Very professional, but also personable as well. Very thorough in evaluating, surgery, and all follow ups! We are very pleased to have had you for surgery. God Bless You."
"Everything went well thanks to your care and concern. I know the outcome is good but it is taking too long for me. Not your fault just my impatience!! I would most definitely refer you to friends and family. I must say your CV is quite impressive but engineering and med? Anyway thanks for all of your care."
"My care under Dr. O’Neill was exceptional. He is not only an extremely talented surgeon, but also cares for his patients with a great deal of compassion. My experience was better expected! Thank you Dr. O’Neill for getting me back on my feet and my horse and my mountain bike!"
"Thank you for inquiring about my back surgery this past year. I have completely recovered from the surgery and the pain is gone. At age 81, I am very grateful for the training and experience you exemplify. Best wishes to you and your family for a happy and healthy new year."
"I thank God daily for Dr. O’Neill’s surgery. I was impressed with the whole experience and concern for infection prevention. I have recommended Dr. O’Neill to several people. Thank you for relieving my pain."
"I could not be more pleased with my back surgery and the results of it. The postoperative pain was minimal. I have been so impressed with Dr. O’Neill that I have recommended him to several people with chronic back pain. Ten years ago I had back surgery and the pain never went away. This time I woke up in the recovery room with no back pain. My quality of life has improved greatly. Thank You!"
"You are a great doctor and provided me with substantial relief from back and leg pain. I continue to be able to walk without pain or assistance. I value the services provided and the communication through each step. The support staff was great as well. A job well done! I will gladly recommend your services to anyone in need. Thank you so much for your care and compassion. As much of a great doctor, I hope I won’t need your services for sometime to come – LOL!"
"Dr. O’Neill is highly skilled yet maintains an exceptional relationship with his patient. The time he took with me and my family prior to the surgery to foster a trusting relationship was very effective. We were able to ask every conceivable question to allay our fears, and I felt prepared for the surgery. He was always caring and attentive even after hours of surgery. Thank you Dr. O’Neill for your expert and compassionate care."
"Tremendous! Thank you so much!"
"Thank you so much for your good bedside manners, your respect for me as [patient’s] mom and legal guardian. You listened to me and ensuring I had adequate knowledge to take [patient] home with her major spine surgery for recovery. I was worried who would do weekend and holiday rounds. You put me at ease and seemed well knowledgeable and up to speed what Ashley’s procedure and special needs."
"O’Neill is my HERO! After six injections and two attempts at laparoscopic surgery, none of which worked, I desperately reached out to Dr. O’Neill. Now, after suffering 3 years of intense back pain, I am pain free! Thank you!"
"As a doctor, I believe I have the best. He is patient, thorough, and his education as a surgeon – if you look at me – has gotten me to a much better place. During appointments I have never felt rushed."
"I had pain so bad before the operation I couldn’t walk and would fall flat on the floor. I have not had one pain since the operation. You’ve done great work. I have recommended you to several people."
