Very personable. Took time to explain procedure and answer my concerns.
Through
My wife died two weeks ago which I told him. He gave me follow up instructions that if I didn’t follow I would be jointing my wife . I was so amazed i didn’t say anything.
We agreed on the process going forward
A great doctor. I am very pleased that he has taken me on as a patient.
This is an obviously accomplished and energetic physician who thoroughly enjoys his practice. He answered all of our questions in a clear and patient manner and was in no rush, despite being quite efficient and focused. All in all a very impressive physician.
Dr. O’Brien explained my condition in a manner that was understandable to me. Also gave options to treatments I could consider.
Dr. O’Brien always enters the room with a smile. That puts me at ease. He is an excellent listener. He asks a lot of questions before providing any feedback. Explains everything in detail. He even brought up the Magic screen on the wall and walked me through exactly what he believes is happening to me. I have a lot of confidence in Dr. O’Brien’s treatment.
