What People Are Saying

  • I found the peer support group experience unique. I have no other arena in which I can sit and talk about my experience and feel understood, and allow myself that kind of support and care. It is helping me to practice seeing the humanness in my patients and in myself.

  • Litigation is a tough journey, and one best not walked alone. I felt so alone in trying to cope with the stressors of being named in a lawsuit, until I began working with Dr. O’Neill and the peer group. Having a safe place to share our deepest feelings was so helpful. It taught me strategies to strengthen both professionally and personally. I am forever grateful for the lifeline Dr. O’Neill provided when I felt like I was drowning. I am so lucky to have found a place of such support and strength.

  • It is difficult to put into simple words how challenging it is to go through the process of malpractice. There are so many emotions: sadness, fear, worry, anger, solitude. Dr. O’Neill and the incredible peers I met through her groups helped normalize, process, create meaning, and come to the other side in a way that I never thought possible when the whole thing started over a decade ago. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Dr. O’Neill. I think of her as a guardian angel.
