Michael O’Leary, MD

My Favorite Doctor! I’ve been a patient for 8 years. I originally came to Dr. O with a hole in my ear drum that would not heal. My hearing has been doing great, since my surgery 7 ½ years ago. Previously, I also had problems with ear infections. Slowly, we worked at it. But for the past 2 years, I have not had a single ear infection. It would have been 4+ years, but I didn’t follow instructions to never use a Q-​tip in my ear. Now I’m listening to his advice. I thank Dr. O for his treatments and educating me to get healthy and stay healthy. Dr. O’Leary is my most trusted doctor. From Doctor O, I was referred to other surgeons in his clinic. I would also recommend any doctor in the Senta Clinic as I went to them for other sinus and facial surgeries related to a facial fracture. I’ve also been treated by them for allergies. I’m all healed now. Sometimes I forget my facial fracture ever happened.

Dr. O’Leary was on the television show the Doctors specifically to discuss his balance disorder services for a vertigo patient. I’ve been suffering from vertigo for five years now and have gone to so many specialists. I live in LA and thought oh WOW, I was willing to travel to San Diego to enlist his help… I called today to make an appointment, told the receptionist my medical history and how I was interested in commuting to SD for help. He asked to place me on hold, waited for a bit, then he tells me the doctor wont see me cause I’m a cash patient!!! I make a decent living and can afford to pay with CASH! I am unemployed at the moment but start my new job in MAY! at that point my PPO will be reinstated… I’m in such a desperate place to seek help for my dizziness and appealed to the receptionist… The doctor wouldn’t even consider speaking to me or accepting cash payment! He told me to go to the state hospital… Sad situation. Physicians are suppose to HELP patients, when someone can accord to PAY for their services why would they turn them away! I’m going to reach out to the Television show and let them know what a heartless and poor business man this physician really is… Dr. O’Leary you are not in the medical industry for the RIGHT REASON!!! Shame on you!

I have been seen by Dr. Michael O’leary several times over the past few years, and he has operated on my ear as well. I have a disease that affects my nervous system, including my hearing and balance. Dr. O’leary and Dr. Purcell have been life savers to me.
