I would definitely recommend Dr O’Dwyer to anyone who needs expertise and reassurance about neurological symptoms. He was very thorough in his investigations, a great listener and knowledgeable about what might be causing my symptoms in a way that nobody I’ve seen previously has been able to. He explained everything very clearly and gave me the reassurance that I was looking for and a plan for helping me to recover. I am very glad I decided to see him. If I hadn’t I would not have the correct diagnosis as the other Neurologists I have seen have come to very different conclusions. I would recommend seeing him if you need good advice and a thorough assessment. He’s very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable.

Having suffered from chronic migraines since birth and the migraines becoming unbearable these past few months, I felt totally lost with what to do and wanted help. Dr O’Dwyer was exceptionally thorough in his approach throughout my consultations. He listened and gave fantastic advice as how I could solve these complex issues I was facing. Since the first visit, I’ve not had one bad migraine and can get on with life and ultimately feel in control again. He provided first class feedback and advice as to how I best manage the chronic migraines. I highly recommend him- if you want help and solutions to chronic migraines, he is the guy! I cannot thank him enough for changing my life.

Dr O’Dwyer was very informative and thorough. He gave me sufficient time to speak and ask any questions, whilst also educating me on my health and performing necessary assessments. He was very clear to ask for consent when necessary and made sure I knew all possible implications of treatments before I left.
