I viewed him as a man of few words - very professional and he doesn't miss a thing. After knowing him awhile he does not change. He instills confidence though. I really like him. His staff is very professional as well, yet easy to talk to. I really don't have anything I don't like that stands out. He is not one to sit and chat though. He is all business. He does not emphasize aftercare so much but he sets out expectations. I think he just expects it, but doesn't harp about it. He did address the risk of surgery. He was very matter of fact about it. I really like him and trust his abilities.

Very professional.rnDeals in the facts.

This man knows what he's doing. He's kind but very quiet. rnHis staff is wonderful. rnAny time I've had an appointment, I got in earlier than my set time, which made it easier for me since I had to drive 3 hrs. to get there!rnI would deffinately refer him to anyone.rnDr. O'Brien is very competent and caring surgeon although rather blunt and to the point. He doesn't sugar coat the process and wants the patient to know what to expect.

I really liked Dr. O'Brien. He was straightforward and to the point about my surgery. He said he would do whichever surgery I wanted and I really liked that. His office staff are awesome. He really emphasized aftercare on each surgery type and his programs are pretty thorough. He addressed all the risks of surgery but at the same time made me feel very comfortable and I have alot of confidence in him. I am looking forward to working with him over the next several months.

My first impression of Dr. O'Brien is that he is busy and yet open to questions of any kind. He is very good at what he does and followed up with me in the hospital a number of times. It wasn't just one morning stop and send you home. The staff seems professional and friendly. They appear to know what they are doing. Dr. O'Brien was emphatic that without my commitment to changing my lifestyle, I will not be successful. The surgery is a tool not a cure. The aftercare is very good in written form, I am only 5 days out of surgery, so I will update this as I go.

I have been extremely pleased with Doctor O'brien, from my first consulation through follow up. He listens, is very responsive and his staff has been wonderful. I would recommend Dr. O'brien to anyone in the Sioux Falls area!

The one thing I felt about O'Brien is that he wanted me to be well informed and successfull. I am not experiencing the feeling that I am not important anymore to him. I drive 2 hours each way for a fill. There is no follow through from his team dietart or otherwise. Yes, I get appointments but they really do not listen let alone return your phone calls. The office staff always seem \"busy\" and you need to be patient. It was a struggle to know how the process was going. I had to call all the time to keep them working on my case. After the surgery, the hospital was horrible!!!!!! They were not prepared for my medications and made things difficult for me on the way home. They were suppose to fill my meds before I left and they couldn't do that either. I take meds for my OCD and they didn't give it to me. It took 2 months to get things back to theraputic level. That made a big difference on how I felt when I got home. I am actually going to change doctors for follow through. He is a good surgeon but that is about it. If he could continue how he treats a patient after the way he did before, I would still be with him.

first impression, A very kind man. I read others' first impressions and expected him to be \"all business\". I was pleasantly surprised. He was \"all business\", but he genuinely seemed to care about improving my quality of life. He made me feel like a person-not just another surgery.

He did a wonderful job. Very good hospital experiance, Sanford is a top notch facility.
