Dr.obrien does not listen to what you have to say or care about your health. He doesn’t really want to help. Some of the staff is very rude. Don’t recommend him to anyone.

Demeaning, pushy bully who doesn't listen to what you say, just what he wants to hear. His NP was lovely.

The one and only time I had to wait was because a woman went into cardiac arrest in the office, I was told there was an emergency and there would be a wait, and would I like to reschedule. Super Courteous. Very comfortable setting, and everything I was looking for in a Dr.

Please avoid this PCP. He is a bad PCP ever! Does not care for his patient. When his patient need his help, he does not help at all. Please avoid this doctor! He should not be a doctor because doctor should have a heart which I don't think he has one.

Staff is OK. Dr.O'Brien shows lack of motivation in caring for patient well-being. Dr. O'Brien does not provide and teach patient with preventative care. Dissatisfy with his care i would not recommend him to anyone.

Dr. O'Brien has been my doctor for about 8 years, I have never felt better in my life, he takes the time to talk to me and let me voice my concerns without feeling the least bit akward or rushed. All doctors should be like him...
