While Dr. O'brien is an ok doctor, he has a black nurse who is very rude and crude. She makes the whole experience very daunting. I cringe at the thought of having to deal with this woman.

Dr. O'Brien is an excellent doctor. He realized my anxiety about the procedures and succeeded in explaining all my issues thoroughly. He truly cares about his patients. My husband and I are patients of Dr. O'Brien and we both appreciate his knowledge and competency. We would recommend Dr. O'Brien highly.

Great office and Doctor! Couldn't ask for a better experience from the office visit to the staff I have been well taken care of and kept at ease through the whole experience.

Dr. O'Brien is the most caring Dr. I have ever met. I have had every cardiac test I could have including a cardiac catheterization and stent placement. He is a wonderful listener and takes time to explain and reassure. You can tell he truly cares! He has a great personality and you feel comfortable with him. My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend him!! (the office staff is also top notch)

I saw Dr. O'Brien as a result of a referral from another physician and I liked him immediately because of the way he found something we have in common and his relaxed manner. He really listened to my questions and preferences and is taking a very measured approach in my treatment, which I find very reassuring.
