    How was your appointment with Dr. O'Brien?

    Dec 19, 2019
    I had a severe shoulder injury following a grappling tournament, and needed surgery to fix extensive damage. Dr. O'Brien took his time, explained everything to me, was kind, empathetic, and a brilliant, skilled surgeon. I'm a medical student, and Dr. O'Brien not only treated my shoulder but unexpectedly became a role model and inspiration for my own future career. He truly represents the best of medicine, and I'm thankful to have been under his care.
