Dr. O'Brian takes a very aggressive approach for your long term interests and to get you the best results for your lifestyle. It was tough to hear the recovery timeline in my specific case. Longer appointments to ask questions once initial shock would be proactive.
She is very thoughough in reviewing test results and showing you the images and explaining them.
