I waited 30 minutes alone after my X-ray for Dr O’Brien. You are scheduling patients too close together. Everyone who saw me was great.

Dr O'Brien was very welcoming when we met this afternoon. Both my husband & I were pleased with his careful explanations of Keith's conditions. We spoke about Keith's spinal fusion & it turns out that surgeon studied under Dr O'Brien with glowing reviews! We agreed with the plan going forward for Keith's healing. We feel Keith's treatment is in good hands with
Dr. O'Brien. Nancy & Keith Barker

As with my previous experience (cervical spine surgery), Dr O’Obrien reviewed and explained my lower back / right hip issues. He continues to have my complete confidence in his advice for the way forward. It was a pleasure conversing with him again … he is outstanding!!!
