About Dr Rory O'Connor
Mr Rory O’Connor is a consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon at Spire Nottingham Hospital. He has a special interest in the treatment of post-traumatic facial deformities, offering a personalised approach to care that prioritises the individual rather than solely the injury. His work ranges from scar management to complex bone and soft tissue reconstruction, often involving procedures such as osteotomy or the use of custom-made implants. He incorporates advanced 3D planning, modelling, and virtual surgery to support precision and improve outcomes in complex craniofacial cases.
He provides the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, including tooth extractions (such as wisdom teeth), removal of lesions in or around the mouth, management of salivary stones, and other jaw- and face-related concerns. He regularly sees patients with facial pain, mouth ulcers, lichen planus, and other oral medicine conditions. He also treats children requiring tooth removal or exposure for orthodontic reasons, as well as those with tongue ties.
In addition to his clinical work, Mr O’Connor treats patients seeking procedures such as mole, cyst, wart and skin tag removal, scar revision, jaw cyst removal, and anti-wrinkle treatments. He also offers more advanced options such as chin and cheek implants, liposuction, blepharoplasty, and treatment for excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
Mr O’Connor was appointed as a consultant at Nottingham University Hospitals in January 2021 after completing his specialist training in the East Midlands. He undertook a nationally appointed TIG (Training Interface Group) Fellowship in Major Trauma between 2019 and 2020, followed by an AO International CranioMaxilloFacial Surgery Fellowship in Basel, Switzerland, in 2020.

AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr Rory O'Connor is professional, caring, and clear in his patient interactions. He provides detailed explanations of procedures and options, making patients feel at ease and looked after. He addresses patient concerns, which leads to positive experiences. Many patients receive care for wisdom tooth removal and other tooth extraction procedures.
I had to see Dr O'Connor due to blocked salivary gland issues requiring a salivary stone removal, and from the initial appointment to the required surgery and follow up he was excellent. He gave clear explanations of what the problem was, the process and what to expect and is clearly enthusiastic and knowledgeable about his work. The follow-up was thorough and although hopefully by following his advice the problem won't reoccur I am confident in Dr O'Connor's ability to help if it does.
Brilliant, Dr Rory was fantastic with our young daughter, helping her to feel empowered to make her own decisions about treatment/feel involved and helped her to feel calm and relaxed on the day of the surgery. We appreciated that Dr Rory explained things to her in a way she could understand, as it’s her own body being discussed after all, but also checked us parents understood what was involved and could help her to make an informed decision. He helped us understand what to expect post op and checked in afterwards to see how things were going, we are incredibly appreciative thank you!
Mr O’Connor is a very polite and friendly consultant. I was made to feel at ease straight away. His expertise made my procedure very straight forward.
I found Mr O'Connor very approachable and reassuring. He listened and understood my issues with care and regard.
Rory was very helpful, understanding and honest. Would highly recommend 👍
Rory is highly skilled and also a really good chap. The surgery he performed was to a very high standard and his after care was wonderful - you can tell he truly cares about his patients
Very professional, explained everything to both me and my son, who has learning difficulties. First class!
The whole experience was amazing, being a Jehovah's Witness I felt listened to and Rory too the time out to go through everything with me. He put me at ease throughout my appointments and operation. Great to get a visit after the op on the day and the follow up appointment to ensure all was well.

General PractitionerRory is a competent and approachable colleague with whom I work jointly and regularly. He is a skilled facial trauma surgeon and is the only maxillofacial surgeon in the UK to additionally manage major general trauma. His skills lie in facial trauma and reconstruction of secondary traumatic deformity, dentoalveolar work (wisdom teeth, cysts and complex extractions) and primary facial deformity. A skilled colleague who I would be happy to have treat me.
