As of the 23rd of May, Dr Sean O’Sullivan’s medical practice will change with his referrals from GPs.

I will only offer new patient appointments to patients referred to me with headaches or movement disorders (eg possible Parkinson’s disease, dystonia and tremors). I hope that this model will allow me to see these patients in a timely manner.
