5.0 star star star star starI appreciate her conscientious professionalism. I have seen her several times now, and I feel more comfortable with her every time I see her. (I will like it even better when we don't wear masks.)

5.0 star star star star starThe conversation was a two-way one, meaning the doctor also listened to me and my preferences/misgivings and didn't diminish them. She was respectful, which in turn increased my respect for her. Actually, I DID recommend Dr. O'Brien to a friend who is thinking about changing doctors.

5.0 star star star star starThis was my first visit with Dr. O'Brien and only my second visit to NN Geriatrics care, just a follow-up from previous doctor. I was going to cancel my appointment as all tests were within normal limits in April, but felt I should see this doctor as the previous physician left Geriatric care. Very pleased with Dr. O'Brien, she listened to my concerns, gave me a thorough exam and practical advice. I will follow up with her in 6 months.

5.0 star star star star starThis was my first meeting and was very impressed with her care. My mother is 94 and in relative good health she doesn’t need to be over cared for or change things for the sake of changing them. Things that she has done with her life have worked out for her diet exercise walking whatever and this Dr. gets it and supports her lifestyle. Very thankful for that kind of care.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
