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.

If you are over weight there HAS to be something wrong with you. Forget the fact that all bloodwork is normal. You're fat so you must have health problems.. smh doctors are not there for opinions

My experience was awful. She has a terrible bedside manner and her office staff is the same. She denied me blood pressure medication as well as others. She wouldn't see me when I had an issue, I waited 3 days and ended up in the ER. I had to change Dr.s to get the care I need. She actually had her Receptionist call me to release me from her care without any regard to my health or my prescriptions. Worst ever. Shes got a private practice so she can do despicable things like this. She's not very professional or mature. Who does this to their patients?? Seriously. I am so happy I found a new Dr.

I really like her! She asked a lot of questions and addressed every single issue I had. She is direct and to the point, and explained the referrals and procedures.

Dr o brien is a great doctor but respectfully the people she has working for her don’t know crap about anything they can never help with anything.. when I ask to speak to doctor they say I can’t I need an appointment, so I ask for an appointment and they tell me “what’s the reason for the visit?” I’m like well you said I need an appointment for I can speak to the doctor so that’s my reason her response “we’ll I can’t just put that I need to put a reason why you need to get treated..” I don’t need to be treated I just really want to speak to her about personal questions regarding my daughters school… they didn’t help me until I came in to the office and finally another lady was nice enough to actually go speak to dr O’Brien and have her able to see me now I’m waiting in the lobby until the end of the day so she can see me which is totally fine because I know dr O’Brien wouldn’t just shoooo her patients away like these girls in the reception do.

With her receptions ... unfriendly toward deaf person like me. And not fully smiled or greeting at all. I’m happy to cancel her appt. because they or and doctor didn’t know ADA laws and won’t provided our interpreter for the deaf, as do it ourselves... I won’t recommended to go there... not worth your visits.
