- My appointment with Dr O'Dwyer was amazing, I learned so much and he was absolutely wonderful as was all of the communication around the appointment. I could not recommend him enough!
- Dr O’Dwyer has been the only person to ever help me with my migraines. EVER. I have suffered from them for 24 years (since I was 4) and now I can finally have some peace. He is always kind and always on time. Couldn’t be happier. His assistant Maggie is also incredible, fast responses to all my emails.
- Dr Dwyer is excellent. Incomparable knowledge, very dliligent and very charming. He doesn't have the normal huge ego neurologists tend to have. A very good experience and incredibly helpful with my migraine disorder
- Dr O Dwyer was very informative, thorough, engaging and brilliant. I left with hope which was unexpected having suffered with migraines for decades.
- I visited Dr O'Dwyer with a problem where previously I had not been able to find an answer. I received an efficient and effective outcome. Key for me is that Dr O'Dwyer took the time to assess my personal situation in a detailed and professional approach. I would highly recommend him to others.
- Dr O’Dwyer is a very nice Doctor, his relaxed manner put me at ease straight away. He explained every issue so when l left his office l was well aware of my health situation. I wished l hadn’t left it so long to get a private health consultation.
