Glenn Porter

It's noticeable that as I have regained the correct walking style, my other issue knee has improved significantly, to the point that I am no longer aware of it. I’m convinced this is due to me no longer depending on this joint as much. If you can relate to any of the above and are thinking of this procedure, then I would recommend it without hesitation: Sean can reference enough examples that help reassure that the probability of success is high and in him you are in experienced hands.

It is not an understatement to say that Mr O'Leary has changed my life. After suffering with pain for over 4 years which meant giving up running and seeing numerous different consultants, I was referred to Mr O'Leary.

Robert Chandler

I mentioned the redness on my shin and was told to speak to the nurse on monday as it looked like cellulitus. It was suggested I massage the shin with moisturising cream and press hard on the skin to help stop the fluid gathering. At this point I was willing to try anything.

I wanted to write to thank you and update you on my progress since you did a tibial osteotomy on my left leg in December 2015. I am very happy with the outcome of the procedure as i do not have the pain i had previously and i am able to walk quite a distance without too much discomfort.

Nikki Esson

I injured my knee many years ago playing volleyball. Since then I have had four separate operations to fix my cruciate ligament and repair torn cartilage in my knee.

Scott Smith

I went to see Sean O’Leary after my knee was giving way when playing football. Sean quickly informed me that my knee was in a very bad way and would need an Osteotomy, which would involve three operations. He explained what would need to be done and we began the process. Sean also informed me that I wouldn’t play football again. This became a running joke as I informed him I would recover and I would play again!

Scott Smith

I had three knee operations recently with Sean, the major one being an Osteotomy in December 14. I was recently in the Circle Hospital taking my friend for an ultrasound after he had neck surgery and i bumped in to Sean. He was pleased to hear I have returned to football and asked me if I could write a paragraph or two on my surgery and return to sport.

Brendon McDonagh

Thank you so much for looking after me from the time teaching to the op, I was struggling but was not at all prepared for a op organising for me to deserve at circle was the best thing for me.

Andrea Brown

Thank you so much for the such great care of my husband David Latter, over the last 2 years. I will always appreciate the professionalism and kindness you showed to me and David, before and following each of his operations.

Yuri Dubina

This lady had an HTO under Mr O'Leary on Friday, she just wanted to say it's brilliant, she's had no pain and she is walking unaided around the house, she has a bit of discomfort around her hip, but apart from that is over the moon with her surgery.

Julian Walton

My first full knee replacement, on 2 Feb this year, took at least three months before I felt remotely comfortable and, even now, remains a bit insensitive to the touch. By contrast, following my second, a unicompartmental knee replacement (by Mr O’Leary), I was discharged from the hospital in a little over twenty four hours (compared with the week of my previous incarceration) and I was walking without any form of aid within that week.

Michael Stock

I had the inner (medial) compartment of my right knee replaced in October 2015 at the Circle Hospital Reading. My surgeon was Mr Sean O'Leary. I was recommanded to use Mr O'Leary by my physiotherapist and I paid for the surgery. I was 64 at the time.

Peter Morris

Mr Sean O'Leary gave me back my life.

I knew I needed a replacement knee so I decided to self fund my operation.

I chose Mr O'Leary because of his experience, qualifications, the fact that he specialised in knees only and also because he lectured on the subject.

I was not disappointed in my choice. I have had a full right knee replacement and he has done an excellent job and given me back my life. I cannot thank him enough.

I have no hesitation in recommending the professionalism and skill of this consultant/surgeon.

Thank you for everything Mr O'Leary.

Michael Judd

Thank you very much for thr 'TKR' which has been a great success! i am now back on the form (past time) at a moment.

Thank you very much for all you gave attention and expertise when i had a TKR for my left knee on February 26th which was our golden wedding anniversary and it may turn out to be the best present - - - i received!

Stuart Logan

I was in the Circle Hospital earlier in the month attending a pre-assessment appointment for a total shoulder replacement by Mr Harry Brownlow. I saw you descending the staircase to the atrium and was motivated to stop you and thank you for the knee replacements you did for me in October 2013 & January 2014 but understandably you looked as if you were on a mission and I was loath to interrupt you.

Deanna Wells

I am writing to express my appreciation of the high quality experience during the lead up to my surgery, in hospital stay during and after the operation had taken place.

Thank you for the copy of your letter to Dr. Hafizji dated 3 November, which sums up the situation perfectly. I was pleased that you also sent a copy to sail as i find him very positive and helpful.

I just wanted to pass on a message of thanks to Sean, his team and everyone that looked after me from start to finish at Royal Berkshire. Everyone went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and confident about the whole procedure and i have been singing your praises all weekend.

Kristian Cuffe O'Malley

I don't know where to start - Thank You!!
I know it has been a long two and a half years.
I just want to thank you for all you've done for me Not only fixing my knee but to also have the belief in me to know i would put the work in to ensure success after all operations.

Just a line to thank you for your expertise in filling my new knee. I was amazed at the tiny neat -- when the dressing came off. I was expecting one twicw as long possibly keloid as i still have one of those from a broken achilles tendon 30 plus years ago.

I would like to thank you for your kindness and care over the past two years.
