Dr. O' Connor is not only an amazing neurosurgeon but such a sweet and lovely person as well. I had pain in my lumbar region, and terrible leg pain for almost two years. After trying chiropractic care, physical therapy and cortisone shots to no avail, I finally had a consultation with an orthopedi...

A recent MRI identified nerve compression at C5 and C6 and required prompt ACDF surgery. After consultations with two recommended neurosurgeons, I chose Dr. O’Connor.
The thought of surgery on my spine was alarming (an understatement) but Dr. O’Connor methodically walked me through proced...

Today is the day after my microdiscectomy surgery at the blessed hands of Dr. Timothy O'Connor. Preceding, I spent 15 days barely able to walk, stand or be in any position without uncontrollable, excruciating pain emanating from my lower back and radiating into my left leg, down to my knee and to my...

Dr. O’Connor ( a “miracle worker”) performed a microdiscectomy on my lumbar spine 2 weeks ago! From my initial visit to today’s post-surgical appointment, he treated me with the utmost kindness and respect. He took his time listening to my pre-surgical laments and made me aware of all the ...

I have suffered with back pain for 10 long years. I am 39. I have been to many doctors seeking help for my pain, but felt dismissed because of the fact that I’m too young, not over weight, and do not have any other major heath problems, nor were my injuries caused by an accident. They made me feel...

My experience with Dr. O'Connor has been life transformative. I was in such pain that I was bedridden, unable to walk or stand. My spinal surgery was 100% successful. It has been two weeks and I am completely free of pain. Today my wife and I walked a half mile each way to a restaurant for breakfast...

Dr. O'Connor performed my emergency microdiscectomy and I would highly recommend him! He is kind, attentive, responsive, and an excellent surgeon. I am up and walking miles per day after just 2 weeks. His whole staff is outstanding, really cares about the patients, and made me feel comfortable th...

I saw Dr. O'Conner for back pain. He was kind and caring. He sat down with my husband and I to hear what was happening and did not interupt what we had to say. He asked pertinent questions and I did not feel rushed. I ended up with surgery and could not be happier with the results. He and his staff ...

Thank god for Dr. O’Connor!
I went to a local hospital twice and they sent me away twice brushing my pain off as Sciatic pain. The pain in my back worsened to a point of not being able to walk. I went to Bethesda West and met Dr. O’Connor who found that I had a severely herniated disk. He...

He was my surgeon when I was admitted for excruciating pain . Really awesome Doctor
