Dr. Patrick O'Leary, MD

I have had two lumbar laminectomies on different disks. My second was 25 years ago and I am still completely pain free!

Dr. Patrick O’Leary did an L4/L5 Laminectomy in June 1986. I was snorkeling in Tahiti on my honeymoon in July 1986! Prior to surgery I tried every possible treatment. I was in so much pain that the only comfortable activity was to walk around the streets of NYC all night. I rarely slept, could not step in a taxi nor do everyday tasks. 38 years later, I have not had an issue and treat back health as paramount. Dr. O’Leary literally saved my quality of life and I am forever grateful.

Dr. O'Leary did surgery on my spine at L5/S1 at the Lenox Hill Hospital in 1982. I was in terrible pain and had spent several years going to many doctors and having endless tests which did not diagnose my problem. After moving to New Jersey in 1979, my Chiropractor referred me to Dr. O'Leary. On the first visit he determined that I would need surgery and immediately scheduled it. His staff even called my family in Georgia after the surgery to report on my condition. I will forever be thankful for his compassion and skill that have given me 40 additional years of a wonderful life free of that horrible pain. I am now retired and living in Georgia again and I thank God for leading me to this wonderful surgeon. May God continue to bless you sir. Mrs. Merle Henry, March 18, 2022

I was treated by Doctor O'Leary just over two years ago now.I was in such agonizing pain that I was either going to have successful surgery or I was going be on disability. From my first visit I appreciated his attention to detail and his unmatched ability to help me understand what was wrong with my cervical spine.He stated that I would be pain free after surgery . Dr. O'Leary preformed this surgery drilled out my stenosis and fused three vertebrae using a titan cage . I have been back to work for almost two years . I play golf go skiing and work around the house without any limitations . Recently my mother has been having back pain ,saw a variety of doctors for the past six months . This cadre of doctors were unable to diagnose the issue.Last Monday I drove her to NYC for her appointment .He reviewed her out of focus MRI from DRA ,sent us to HSS for an MRI and CT scan.At the end of one long day she had her diagnosis.HSS is a top notch hospital.I have worked as nurse for 35 years .

Excellent doctor. Fused my spine at the L5 S1 level. Pain completely gone. When I needed a second fusion 11 years later, I had moved to the southwest where a Barrow neurosurgeon saw the fusion in an MRI and told me that an "expert craftsman" had done an excellent job at the L5 S1 level. In retrospect, I thought I should share this with others who may be considering surgery with Dr O'Leary. He has an excellent beside manner as well.

Brilliant surgeon, brilliant man. The absolute best of the best. Dr. O’Leary is the ultimate neurosurgeon regarding cervical issues. His follow up is efficient, professional, courteous and compassionate. He’s operated on 2 additional family members and the results we’re positively phenomenal. Trust his judgment and knowledge, follow doctor’s orders and you’ll be right as rain. Hands of gold!

I was recommended to Dr O'Leary, but was extremely disappointed. I am a doctor and was expecting at least some attention and follow-up, but despite multiple call requests over multiple months he still never got back to be. He never explained my condition even though he insisted I needed to get a whole bunch of new x-rays so he can better evaluate. He never even spoke to me after the radiologist read the films...assuming he even spoke to the radiologist. I'm very disappointed in his office.

My husband was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma which caused his C4 in his neck to desintegrate and collapse. Dr. O'Leary saved his life at the time and prevented him from being paralysed. After 2 surgeries within a 7 day period, he eventually had 90% motion of his neck. He is an exceptional skilled surgeon. No Doctor near were we lived would even attempt do touch his neck. They suggested we go to the Hospital of Special Surgery. Wonderful bedside manor and explains things so you can understand

Dr. O'Leary has operated on me twice for a cervical spine injury. I think he is a wonderful doctor, surgeon, and person! He has a great bedside manner and listens to your concerns. I have nothing bad to say about him!

Dr O'Leary is a superlative and a spectacularly gifted and brilliant surgeon. I have sent my patients and my own mother to him. Everyone has been thrilled with the results. I myself feel excedingly fortunate: the result of my 4.5-hour back lumbar fusion by Dr O?Leary has been the complete restoration of my physical comfort and vigor. It was a blessing of God that he operated on me. My pain was so intense before surgery that could not stand it. For four years now I have been totally pain free!

After having 6 neck surgeries, I was recommended by surgeon to Dr Oleary. I can not say enough how this man has helped. Thorough, compassionate,and a master at what he does. I would recommend in a heartbeat. Has a staff to match.
