She received her medical degree from the founding institution of Osteopathy, the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, at AT Still University and completed internship and residency at Maine-Dartmouth and the University of New Mexico.
Her fellowship in Holistic, Integrative and Pluralistic Medicine was completed at the Lawrence Family Medicine Residency; accompanied by acupuncture certification from Harvard Medical School. Additional certifications include functional medicine, cranial osteopathy and yoga.
Dr. O’Neill is published in the Integrative Geriatrics text of the Weil Integrative Medicine Series and has contributed to several education initiatives of the Institute for Functional Medicine. She has been a guest speaker at the annual conferences of the Institute for Functional Medicine and Integrative Medicine for the Underserved.
As an instructor, she has taught integrative primary care to medical residents, nurse practitioners and US Army Special Forces medics. She currently teaches at the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine acupuncture training course for physicians.
In collaboration with the CDC and Partners In Health, Dr. O’Neill implemented a grant for Fruit & Vegetable Prescriptions on the Navajo Nation. She has volunteered her medical skills abroad in China, Haiti and Peru.
Dr. O’Neill has worked in several settings including urgent care, adult and pediatric primary care, adolescent school clinics, and Veteran and Indian Health Clinics. Having practiced for nearly two decades with such a broad patient population — from newborn to age 108 — she has an experienced understanding of both common and complex medical conditions.
She draws from her extensive experience to deliver effective whole-person care.
Dr. O’Neill was happy to make the Western North Carolina mountains her home in 2018 after many inspiring and informative years of medical practice and travel took her around the globe. She enjoys the quiet—and not-so-quiet—moments spent in the company of family, nature, and a lively ginger cat.
