Dr. O'Brien is a pleasure to discuss my health and well-being, He is thoughtful, goes at an easy pace to relax the patient but is Quick to follow up on Test Results, communications, and prescribe medications. I believe he is a Dr. who takes the time to help me understand a short and term view of treatment. Much appreciated!

I love coming to Northwestern for all my medical needs. Dr. O'Brien is the best! He takes his time to make sure all my questions are answered and truly shows empathy with his patients. I live in California but continue to travel to Chicago to continue seeing my northwestern doctors like Dr. O'Brien! The quality of care at Northwestern and Dr.O'Brien you don't find anywhere else.

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.
