Very thoughtful and caring professional. Very appreciative that he has been my doctor.
It met my expectations. Very confident with my appointment.
Very helpful
Always excellent care. Thank you.
The doctor explained what is going on with my shoulder and why I should wait awhile and see if it gets better before considering any surgery. It all makes sense to me and he will follow up in the future to see what develops. I was happy with our conversation.
Was satisfied
Hi, Dr. O'Brien was very informative to me. I'm nervous about, you know, my surgery and I think he was trying to help me to not be so nervous. He had a positive way to make me feel better. So hopefully everything will go good and I'm really glad that I do have him. Okay, thank you. Bye.
I did a great job, shoulder feel is great, the injection went well and that's it.
Doctor O'Brien is extremely thoughtful, considerate and compassionate Doctor. It is an absolute pleasure to visit his office. Sincerely, [redacted]
Dr O'Brien was great, and his staff including the NP are wonderful and helpful.
