Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She is amazing as is the whole practice. We have been going to her for five years and wouldn't change a thing!

We moved to Crystal Lake last year and were in search of a new Peds Dr. for our 1 & 2 y.o's. I am so glad that we were referred to Dr. O'Brien. She is well educated, she's great with the kiddos and parents alike and she does a great job at giving you her undivided attention. I couldn't be happier with choice we made when it comes to caring for our most valuable assets. She is such an amazing and trustworth doctor. A+++

We've gone to Dr. O'Brien for over a decade with two kids and she goes above and beyond the call of duty. I wish I could share more details on that. She is exactly what you're hoping she'll be.

Dr. O'Brien has been my children's doctor for 11 yrs. I have 3 boys and she is absolutely amazing with all of them. Their ages range from 14 to newborn. She knows how to speak to each one of them on their level. She takes her time and answers all of our questions. She will take the time and reach out personally when necessary. Dr. O'Brien is caring and compassionate and her partner Dr. Tjayden is equally fantastic! Best pediatricians around. (I have work'd in the medical field 22yrs too)

Dr Obrien is fantastic. We love her! She was able to pinoint a very rare disorder our son had when other doctors dismissed it. We now live about 40 mins away but will continue to see her.

I can't say enough how much I enjoy our pediatrician Dr. O'Brien. I never felt rushed out of the room and she actually listens to you and provides you explanations that you can actually understand. She put me at easy from small to big issues that were unsettling. The staff at Children's Medical Group is fantastic as well.

After 5 years of treating my child, suddenly refuses care due to our choice of unvaccinating. Unethical.

Unwilling to accept or acknowledge individual health concerns, and would rather appease the ridiculous demands of the pharmaceutical companies. It's actually sad that the children's true health is not top priority here.
