The Reading Knee Unit was established by Sean O'Leary in 2009 to enable patients’ access to appropriately skilled professionals / consultants to understand and treat their particular knee condition. This process should include information on your condition, the potential outcome of any procedures and surgery by appropriately skilled consultants.

In January 2013 he was joined by Nev Davies who brings a special interest and expertise in children’s and adolescent knee conditions as well as treating adult knee problems.

Both Sean and Nev consult and operate at Circle Reading Hospital and offer a comprehensive and complete surgical service including:
