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.

I would highly recommend Dr. Pat O'brien for your Orthopedic needs. He is a very well respected physcian. He has done surgery on me in the past and I cannot say anything but good things about him. He is compassionate and knowledgeable. He took care of my problem and I haven't had a problem since. Well respected doctor.

Wanted to operate on a complete tear of supraspinatus tendon in right shoulder. I got a second opinion at TO and was told the degree of separation could not be sutured. This guy would have ruined 6 months of my life. Prior wanted to do surgery on rotator cuff in left shoulder, I rehabilitated with physical therapy. Heard from numerous professionals and patients about his poor surgical skills in regards to shoulders.
