"Dr. O'Brien believes in the work he does . My first impression of him was a very kind and knowledgeable man. I grew to like him more over time. Office staff are very friendly and returned calls promptly whenever I had a question. After care was briefly discussed, but since I live 5 hrs away from his office, follow-up is by phone. My primary MD follows me medically. He was very straight forward about the risks. As a medical professional, I probably had fewer questions than most. Overall, I would rate him a 10 out of 10. He was very attentive after surgery. I knew that the staff had very strict after surgery monitoring parameters. Dr. O'Brien visited nurmerous times a day to check on me. To me, surgical competence and medical management are most important. Bedside manner may contribute to patient confidence, but the end product ie. a good outcome is most important to me."
