Peter O'Brien Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

I thought he was very professional. He seemed to care about wanting to make me healthier. He has been very concerned and followed up nicely as far as aftercare goes. All his nurses have been great and if you have a ?, they get to it in an appropriate time. I have to say thanks for giving me my life back.

Dr. O'Brien is very easy to talk to. He listens to your questions and gives you an answer you can understand. His staff is very nice also. Everyone made you feel like you were the only one there in an office full of other patients. I have only had my initial visit, but I believe that Dr. O'Brien and his staff are very compassionate and will help you with anything you ask.

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF DR. O'BRIEN, HE IS A VERY BUSY MAN HELPING OTHERS ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS.HE IS PRECISE AND TO THE POINT ABOUT WHAT HE EXPECTS AND WHAT CAN BE ACHIEVED.THE OFFICE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL AND ALWAYS WILLING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU MAY HAVE.THE AFTER CARE WAS VERY THOROUGH.DOCTOR O'BRIEN IS A VERY GOOD SURGEON.IS VERY GIFTED. WHAT HE DOES FOR PEOPLE IS REMARKABLE. GIVING US BACK OUR LIVES AND GIVING US THE TOOLS WE NEED TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF OURSELVES.

My first impression stayed the same through out. He's very knowledgeable, ready to listen, and extremely competent.

His office staff is efficient, courteous and knowledgeable. I'm impressed at how quick they responded to my questions and phone calls.

Future patients should know that you need to do research and then ask all the questions you need. Believe me they can and will answer them.

Dr. O'briens office stresses good aftercare as well as thorough research. But because I came from such a long distance, they readily will work with your primary care physician.

When I first called Dr. O'Briens office for information on his surgical procedures, they sent several pieces of written information on the entire process. Even though I had already made the decision to have the surgery I was happy to read through the information again just to reinforce my decision.

I would rate Dr. O'Brien overall, as outstanding! His surgical skills are excellent and his bed side manner is as well. I would recommend his staff and program as top of the line.

I met with Dr. O'brien on 11/19/03. I found him to be very pleasant and he explained things to me very well. I have read alot of postings about him and he seems to be very well liked by all of his patients.

My first impression of Dr. O'Brien was that I was very comfortable with him immediately. That impression has not changed. The staff is great and very helpful. I have researched this for 5 years and have tried twice to have this surgery. I was VERY comfortable in talking with him and the fact that we knew some fo the same Dr.'s and a certain Ms. Thompson. Well...we are going to get along GREAT! He wants to make sure that he has ansewered all of your questions.

I personally have a lot of confidence in Dr. O'Brien. This helped me to not be nervous about surgery!

I have not heard anyone say anything negative about my surgeon.

Dr. O'Brien is a super surgeon. He is a very serious person and tells it like it is. He informs you about the risks of surgery and makes sure you understsand that there are risks. He was very attentive before and after surgery. He cares, and to me, that is what really counts. Your in good hands with Dr. O'Brien and his staff. He stresses the after care and makes sure you know it is important to him. I would rank him as tops in his field,they don't make them any better.

Dr. Peter O'Brien is a WONDERFUL Surgeon! I had my surgery April 17, 2001 in Sioux Falls, SD. I was impressed with Dr. O'Brien, his staff and the hospital. He is a wonderful and caring man who does a wonderful job taking care of his patients.
I would rate Dr. O as a 10 out of 10 as a surgeon and physician.

I thought Dr. O'Brien and his staff were great. I felt very informed on what was going to happen. The after care program is excellant. I am very happy i traveled the 5 hours to have Dr. O'Brien do my surgery.
