We met with Dr. Dunleavy and he is absolutely amazing. Down-to-earth, excellent bedside manner, and fantastic with children! He gave us such well-rounded advice and didn’t pressure us with what direction to take our son’s care. Absolutely would recommend for any pediatric orthopedic care. He looked after my son’s holistic health and provided all possible options.

If you have joint issues, this is the place to go! I recently had a knee replacement by Dr. John Dunleavy. He did a superb job. I’m 74 and in one week I was walking without a walker or a cane with minimal pain. I hope I don’t need more work, but if I do, I’m calling Dr. Dunleavy again.

Great facilities. The staff is great, every time I go in or call they give me their 100%. Dr Dunleavy is very professional and very friendly. Yolanda at the front desk is so helpful.

Dr. Dunleavy is the best orthopedic doctor. He replaced one hip and one knee and no problems since. Great bedside manner and very thorough with explaining procedure and recuperation. Would recommend him to anyone. Very efficient office staff also.
