William W. O’Neill, M.D., is executive dean for clinical affairs and professor of medicine at University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He is also chief medical officer for the University of Miami Health System, charged with the development and implementation of the institution-wide patient-care service network which was launched March 2008.
A graduate of Wayne State University School of Medicine, Dr. O’Neill completed a cardiology fellowship at the University of Michigan Hospital. Before joining the University of Miami, Dr. O’Neill served as the director of the Division of Cardiovascular Disease at William Beaumont Hospital. Prior to that he was director of the cardiac catheterization laboratory at the University of Michigan Hospital and an associate professor of medicine at the University of Michigan Hospital and Medical School.
An author of more than 300 articles and 400 abstracts published in medical literature, Dr. O’Neill is an international leader in the field of interventional cardiology and in the research of new techniques to diagnose and treat obstructed heart arteries. His pioneering work includes the mechanical rotary atherectomy technique, which uses a catheter with a rotating, diamond-tipped burr to carve away and disintegrate plaque that obstructs the arteries. In April 2008, Dr. O’Neill successfully performed two percutaneous valve replacements as part of a national clinical trial. The two patients were the first to undergo the procedure in Florida.
