What made this a 5-star experience wasn't just the beautiful surgical outcome, but the level of compassion, professionalism, communication, and attention to detail from everyone involved. I always felt supported, informed, and cared for before and after surgery. Recovering from a major procedure can be intimidating, but I never felt alone because the team was always available to answer questions and provide reassurance. After losing 160 pounds, I had worked so hard but still struggled with all the loose skin. My surgeon really listened to what I wanted instead of making me feel like just another patient, and the results honestly exceeded my expectations. Walking away with amazing results and much more confidence has truly been life-changing.
Yes I was highly satisfied with my experience. Love the doctor, staff and everyone who has been a part of my care before and after my procedure.
It was a pleasant consultation. Very informative.
Dr. O'Brien was super honest and straightforward- he's not trying to sell simply to make a profit but is very honest in his evaluation and medical opinions. I appreciated that.
Dr O'Brien did exactly what I wanted. A natural facelift. Took care of my congenial double chin. So happy with the results.
Very professional staff and Dr. explained everything about expectations for upcoming surgery.
Dr. O"Brien and his staff were very supportive and informative throughout the process for my upper arm lift. My upper arms were a problem area for me and the decision to have this surgery was a big deal, but I am very pleased with the results. It has been less than 3 months and I am able to wear short sleeved and sleeveless tops again. The preop, the surgery and the aftercare all went well and I continue to see progress daily.
