After completing his dental degree at the University of Illinois in 1989, he came to Colorado and furthered his education at a dental residency program at St. Joseph Hospital in Denver.

Dr. O’ Leary became the first dentist in Lone Tree, Colorado, when he founded Meadows Dental Group by Espire (formerly known as Arbor Dental Group-Lone Tree). He has been in practice in Colorado for over 30 years and in the Lone Tree location for over 20 years.
