Patrick F. O'Leary

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

Dr. O'Leary performed a 2 level laminectomy on my spine in 2017. The original plan was a fusion as well. During his careful inspection of the injury during surgery he chose not perform the fusion, only the laminectomy. His integrity, experience and knowledge saved me from a more invasive surgery. I have been pain free since! I mountain bike, swim, play tennis and golf. Thank you Dr. O'Leary. Dr. O'Leary performed a 2 level laminectomy on my spine in 2017.

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!

Worst experience at such a young age. 14 years old diagnosed with a 56 degree angle. Spinal fusion was my only option at this point. After long research Dr O'Leary was the best option. With a PMH of asthma, he decided to use an anterolateal approach which included removing a few ribs and deflating a lung, which increases the risk. Going into surgery with 56 degree angle I was so happy to have his done because I was finally going to be pain less and my physical appearance wouldn't have to suffer. Little did I know the surgery would be a WASTE. Came out of surgery with still a 56 degree angle. What did you do during surgery? "I made a misjudgement" was his response. Well now your misjudgment if the result of my pain and depression of looking different. Worst experience at such a young age. 14 years old diagnosed with a 56 degree angle.

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 the preeminent back surgeon in New York. He is a brilliant and most creative surgeon. He performed a fusion surgery on me four years ago. I have been pain free since then. Before the operation my pain was 9.5! He will operate only if the patient cannot tolerate the pain, which is evidence of his sincerity, responsibility and dedication to operating only as a last resort, as opposed to those who may be only too happy to operate on request. Yours sincerely, Dr. James Sterling Assistant Clinical Professor Department of Psychiatry Icahn School of Medicine at Mt Sinai Dr. O'Leary is the preeminent back surgeon in New York.

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!
