Dr O'Brien had already reviewed my shoulder MRI and asked me detailed questions on how my shoulder was feeling. He did a range of motion test on my shoulder. He was very thorough. He provided excellent care
Dr. O'Brien is an excellent healthcare provider from my experiences with him. He is expert and knowledgeable, and listens attentively to any questions or comments that I have for him. He knew all the details of my healthcare history, including beyond orthopedics. The care I receive is first rate.
Very good experience Office staff as well as MD pleasant knowledge Would recommend
Great
Dr Todd O'Brien is a pleasant man easy to talk to about your personal health. He assured me many times that I had a long-term injury and while I was shocked to hear the news here I am a year later and he was 100% correct
Dr O'Brien is attentive and respectful when listening to concerns and comes up with solutions to your orthopedic problems
Listened to my issues and resolved all
My experience was excellent. He listened to what I had to say. He is going to fix my shoulders
I thought he was very thorough and he moved me into the next direction of my issue and hopefully he'll follow up with me after that.
His diagnosis was completely different from the first surgeon that I saw in Florida. I am extremely grateful he is taking a more conservative approach.
