I was very pleased with the services received from Dr. O’Brien. He was a very polite gentleman. He answered all my questions. Made sure I understood everything he was explaining to me. Did his in office testing and was very thorough. I was very impressed with his willingness to listen and his understanding of what I needed and how he would be able to help me with this process. I actually for the first time, felt very comfortable with a doctor and felt I could trust him. I look forward to work with Dr.O’Brien on helping making me a healthier version of myself. Thank you for your time and providing such a caring provider.

Dr. O’Brien was very thorough. He explained my symptoms (which he was already well aware of), discussed potential solutions, and outlined the odds of success. He is very engaging, easy to talk to, and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment. I was very happy to have had the opportunity to see him.
