Could have spent more time explaining the procedure and recovery. I think this was the only meeting with the dr prior to the surgery so I have questions

I have never encountered a spinal surgeon as courteous and dedicated as Dr. Joseph O’Brien. His respect for both patients and his team is evident. Dr O’Brien is deeply committed to addressing each patient’s unique needs and his expertise as a spine surgeon is remarkable. I returned to the USA from my home country for a second opinion after a previous spinal surgery performed here had failed. When the first surgeon reviewed my case, he declined to attempt a revision surgery, expressing concern over the risks involved. Thankfully, someone recommended Dr O’Brien and from my first visit l could tell he was different. He listened attentively, carefully scrutinized my MRI and X-rays and assured me he could handle my case. His execution of the surgery was nothing short of impeccable, I am genuinely proud of Dr. O’ Brien and wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone l know, both in the USA and back home

I hold Dr. O'Brien in the highest regard. He is a clever and thoughtful orthopedic surgeon. He takes the time to clearly explain the situation facing his patient and does so with empathy.

Dr. O’Brien was personable as well as knowledgeable. He put me at ease and clearly explained my condition and recommendations going forward. I was impressed with how he would try all non-surgical procedures first.
