I found that it was very easy to ask any questions in relation to my surgery. Mr. O Flaherty explained what was involved with my surgery and anything I needed to know regarding my post op recovery.

Mr O'Flaherty was very warm and welcoming and made me feel at ease explaining the pain in my foot.He explained in layman's term's what was wrong with my foot and went through treatments with me.I tried injections for the pain but they were not very successful. The other option was surgery which he explained fully but which he did not push on me..I had the surgery which was very successful and I am so grateful to Mr O'Flaherty. I would recommend Mr O'Flaherty to anyone who needs an orthopaedic surgeon.
