Patrick J.
O’Neill, M. D., whose office is situated at No. 126 Fourth street, San
Francisco, has been a resident of California since 1883, and engaged in the
practice of medicine since 1888. He was
born in county Roscommon, Ireland, in 1858, and received his early education in
the national schools of Ireland. At the
age of sixteen years he came to America, remaining for five years in Rhode
Island, and then came to California and was engaged for the first two years in
mercantile pursuits. In 1885 he
commenced the study of medicine in the medical department of the University of
Southern California, where he spent three years, graduating in 1888, and
receiving the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
He then went to New York, where he took a course at the Post-Graduate
School of Medicine, from which he received his certificate in the latter part
of 1888. Mr. O’Neill then went to
Philadelphia, where he entered the Jefferson Medical College, and after a
year’s study and a course of lectures he received his degree of Doctor of
Medicine. During those four years, Dr.
O’Neill had the fullest opportunities of the hospital and college for the
practical application of the teaching of the schools. He then came to San Francisco, where he
entered upon the practice of his profession.
He is a member of the County Medical Society of San Francisco; of the
Young Men’s Institute; of the Ancient Order of Foresters; and of the Knights of
the Red Branch, I. O. O. F., and Knights of Pythias.
