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.

Great guy but needed to advice me on what my best treatment was. Regret leaving him could not get a definitive answer from him as to whether I should have surgery as nothing else affordable was working. I wish I would have had the gel shots that cost $600 with him but I went to another doctor Meir who was horrible and I had surgery with and he did shoddy overly invasive surgery causing me worse pain. Never trust the reviews you read on a doctor. Dr. Meirs' front desk staff calls and asks you to give them five stars. I made the mistake of doing it because the front desk guy was so nice to me. overall I would have given them 0 stars as far as the doctor is concerned and surgery facility call Lapeer surgery. Only go to surgery of the Pacific center in Santa Monica. I love doctor Brian's bedside manner and have big regrets leaving him

Dr. O'Brien is experienced, gets to the root of problems quickly, and is willing to go in depth on his explanations. He is prudent and goes for milder, non-invasive treatments first. He really won me over when I brought my daughter along to my appt, and he gladly looked at a bump on her ankle, diagnosing extra bone in her foot. He caught in 20 secs what her podiatrist took two hours to miss. Pleasant and courteous.
