James D O’Brien, MD

Dr O’Brien and staff don’t care to assist those who file bankruptcy due to unforseen circumstances. Dr O’Brien had thought that my bankruptcy was due to money mismanagement, however he was very far from the truth.
I had a stroke recently and owed greater than $ 300,000 to the larger hospital that treated me. I tried to pay this for a time but it was too great a financial burden, leading my family. close friends, and financial advisors to suggest filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy. The bankruptcy cleared. All debt was discharged. I got through rehab, regained motor skills, and got into a new wonderful job as an IT professional for a health care company.
Unfortunately, the discharge of that huge ER bill would also discharge a very small portion that was owed to Dr O’Brien’s office (less than $ 150) for services rendered while I was rehabilitating and attempting to pay the greater ER bill. For this, they refused to continue having me as a patient unless I paid the amount in full, cash only. I tried to explain to him that when filing for Chapter 7, you are instructed to not pay on any existing debts until the bankruptcy is over. Even if you go through a bankruptcy, for a traumatic, unforseen experience, his office still expects you to pay 100% what you owe and will not budge to work with you in restoring finances.
I wasn’t looking for free service, nor was I mismanaging my money (as Dr O’Brien accused me of). I was simply doing what was legally instructed to me. I could have payed for office visits normally moving forward beyond the bankruptcy, but his office couldn’t move passed the small bill that I had incurred with them… during my time rehabilitating from a stroke. They were unwilling to negotiate.

It is because of Dr. O’Brien that i got an early diagnosis of my prostate cancer. My previous doctor just gave me a puzzled look when he saw my abnormal PSA test result. Thanks to Dr. O’Brien’s referal. I was able to get the proper care I needed to treat my prostate cancer.

Dr O’Brien is a very thorough Dr. He listens to his patients and is very detailed. i would give him 10 stars if it were an option

I have been with Dr. O’Brien for 5 years now. He is the best doctor. Very compassionate and takes his time to listen to you and never rush you. Dr. O’Brien is a true healer!

Been to see Dr. O’Brien two times and have another appointment tomorrow. My wife finally convinced me to start seeing a physician regularly, and Dr. O’brien is who we decided on out of sheer convenience as his clinic is in our neighborhood. I’m thankful to have found Dr. O’brien in such a random manner.
He kept his appointment times with barely a wait once I got into the exam room. In my opinion and experience so far, he is very personable, listens carefully without interrupting, and takes his time to explain results/​possible problems/​treatments/​etc.

This review is for Dr. James O’Brien.
He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to — he takes his time with you and doesn’t rush you through like other offices. I believe the practice is relatively new and he is readily accessible.
I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes to see him and he will even call in your referrals while you wait.
Good guy!
