He has expertise in all conditions of the foot and ankle including hallux valgus (bunions), lesser toe deformity correction, sports injuries including ligament reconstruction, and arthroscopy. Mr O'Flaherty's special interest is in the treatment of resistant cases of achilles injuries and tendinopathy. He works closely with sports physiotherapists to look after elite sportspeople.

He has a wide professional portfolio of qualifications including an MSc in Sports & Exercise Medicine from the University of Bath. During this training in this field he worked with doctors and allied health professionals across sport and exercise medicine, including Premier League Football and Rugby Union. This training complements his current practice and he works with many high-level sportspersons including GAA players, Ulster Rugby, Ulster Hockey, NI Netball and Irish League Soccer.

Mr O'Flaherty currently works in Belfast at the Royal Victoria Hospital and Musgrave Park Hospital. He has an active role in research and has published his work in multiple journals.

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.
