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.

Very likely
Always so kind and understanding and goes above and beyond to help them.

A conscientious gem.
Dr O’Brien takes the time to listen to what I say about my body. She asks questions to clarify her understanding and she shares much researched based information along with her own professional experience with the goal of providing me expertise guidance and care. She demonstrates patience and time to be thorough with me. These qualities in a doctor are to be cherished … as we live in such demanding times. Thank you!

I had a horrible experience with Dr O Brien, normally I see the nurse practitioner in the Fenton office but had to call the exchange over the weekend for my daughter who was in severe pain. I talked to the Dr at 12:30 she called the prescription in the pharmacy needed to speak to her about one of rhe prescriptions. She didn’t return their call and none of if calls from the exchange after 2.5 hours she finally answered ( I bothered the exchange people repeatedly and they were very patient). I want to know if you are on call why aren’t you answering your pages?

It seems that she tries to make her patients come in every 6 months whether it is required or not. If you don't, they delay refilling prescriptions that require only an annual visit.

Very disappointing.... still waiting on dr review of X-rays that were taken almost a week ago. Appointment with doctor promised but only saw Nurse Practioner- X-rays ordered but call back on the findings not returned. Very frustrating when dealing with senior patients/loved ones.
