I waited one hour and 15 minutes until I saw Dr. O’Brien. He spent about five minutes with me. I just hope the treatments he suggested will ease my severe back pain.

I personally believe there is no better spine surgeon. I suffered from chronic back pain for over 17 years and in one morning he repaired my spine completely. I am now pain free and strongly recommend that you trust him with your situation.
