Mr Flaherty was excellent all throughout from diagnosis to treatment. His recommendations for alternative options were spot on and have hopefully prevented me from surgery for another couple of years or maybe beyond fingers crossed.

Dr. Maurice O'Flaherty was wonderful to work with. He was very knowledgeable with my injury, explained it in great detail and I trusted him straight away in performing surgery on it. He was very approachable in answering my numerous questions I had at each stage. It was very obvious he was super experienced.. I have since referred a neighbour of mine to Dr. O'Flaherty without hesitation. Also to mention Dr. O'Flahertys Secretary Kim is super to work with, very precise, organised and efficient. Together working with both I was very pleased with the outcome. Thank you for everything and giving me my freedom to exercise again, Lisa O., Youghal, Co. Cork.

The operation procedure and the injury was explained in full to me. I was made fully aware of the consequences if tge operation wasn’t successful The follow up visits to the practice of Mr Maurice O’Flaherty were very informative and everything was explained very clearly in both visits following the operation. Overall I felt very comfortable and confident with everything involved with Mr Maurice O’Flaherty. I am delighted my GP Dr Michael Keyes of Alfa Medics recommended me to Mr Maurice O’Flaherty at SCC

Mr O’Flaherty could not be more thorough in his explanation of the problem and the procedure he was going to carry out on my foot. From pre op consultation to surgery day he was there all the way. Follow up post op was just as professional and reassuring. Very pleased.
