About Me

Care Philosophy
  • When recommending surgery to a person, it's important to consider what you would want if the roles were reversed.`` As a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. O'Brien treats patients in need of spine surgery, or those who have had surgery that was not effective.

    ``My training at Johns Hopkins prepared me to help those who have complex cases. At this point, I've refined what I learned at Hopkins to be minimally invasive too.
