I attended Maurice after sustaining severe ligament ruptures in my ankle, he was very professional throughout our appointments and his explanations regarding my injury were easy to understand.
I visited Mr O’Flaherty in relation to a long-standing problem with anterior ankle impingement. After assessing the results from an x-ray and an MRI, Mr O’Flaherty explained in a clear and concise manner that a ganglion cyst was the source of my condition. He then set out the path to treat this issue. This entailed undergoing an ankle arthroscopy to remove the cyst. Mr O’Flaherty could not have been more helpful. His bedside manner put me at ease before the surgical procedure and his aftercare has been exceptional.
Mr O'Flaherty listened closely to me then examined me, read my MRI scan and decided xrays were required to make a complete diagnosis. This was all done the same day. Would highly recommend Mr O'Flaherty, his knowledge and experience exceptional.
Excellent feedback and made everything easy to understand
Mr O’Flaherty was very knowledgeable, explaining my condition in plain English
Maurice is extremely knowledge. The best in the industry and my results speak for themselves.
1. Pleasant interactions 2. I had one primary issue with my ankle and a secondary issue with my toe. Both were remediated in a comprehensive manner. I am from a sporting background, Mr. O’Flaherty has addressed the items of concern I first approached him with, with no set backs and continual advice throughout the process. 3. Definitive answers: typically from other consultants you can recieve quite wishy washy answers, not saying yes but also not saying no which can often leave you worrying and speculating and even overthinking certain things. It was quite refreshing to get definitive interpretations / answers and solutions from Mr O’Flaherty.
Maurice has an excellent bed side manner. He is caring and yet direct in his advice. I would thoroughly recommend Maurice for any ankle surgery and I am 100% satisfied with my treatment. A well satisfied customer
