I saw Pat O Brien through whole pregnancy and 6 weeks post appointment. All of the care I received was exceptional. He is so calm and reassuring which is exactly what I needed with my anxiety. He was always very professional and also very friendly and supportive.
I reached out to Dr. Pat after recommendations from multiple people, as i had a slightly complicated case (pregnancy + a large dermoid cyst). Thanks to Dr. Pat’s calm, kind and meticulous approach, i had the best possible c-section experience possible, felt like i was in a spa! I can’t thank him enough for making my pregnancy experience memorable. Would highly recommend.
I can’t recommend Pat O’Brien enough and will be forever thankful for safely bringing our baby girl into this world. Pat is extremely professional and knowledgeable and a master in his field. He cares a lot about his patients, is very responsive, kind and calm (even the nurses and midwifes say, that they have never seen him nervous or rushed). 1000 thanks 🙏🏻
There isn’t a better obgyn than Pat! I had a high risk and very complicated birth and he made it all so easy for me. He is so calm and always provides the best guidance and support. I am forever grateful to Pat
I would hugely recommend Pat to everyone for their baby’s birth. I was extremely nervous going into a planned C section (following complications in a prior birth that was not with Pat), yet from the moment I met him, Pat’s relaxed, warm and empathetic nature made me feel at ease. He was on hand to answer any questions I had prior to the birth and post birth which I found to be a huge comfort; whilst also bringing such a calm and relaxed atmosphere into the birth itself. I couldn’t be more grateful to Pat for turning an experience I was so fearful about, into a calm and comfortable one, and ultimately delivering me the most precious gift. Thank you so much again, Pat!
Mr Pat OBrien has been my obstetrician in my two pregnancies and I couldn't have been happier. His expertise, easy, friendly and calm manner, as well as his ability to explain everything clearly reassured me at all times. The deliveries went well and I felt calm at all times. I will definitely go back for my 3rd pregnancy! I couldn't have been in better hands.
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Mr. Patrick O'Brien as our obstetrician throughout my pregnancy and the birth of our baby. From our very first appointment, he made us feel supported, informed, and cared for. He always took the time to answer all of our questions, no matter how small, and explained everything clearly so we felt confident every step of the way. What meant the most to us was how available he was whenever we had concerns. Knowing we could reach him and get reassurance when needed brought us so much comfort during the pregnancy. The birth ended up being more complicated than we had hoped, but Mr. O'Brien was absolutely amazing. His professionalism, experience, and calm presence helped us feel safe during a very emotional and stressful time. We truly trusted that we were in the best hands possible. We will always be grateful for the care, kindness, and dedication he showed our family. We couldn't recommend him more highly. Thank you, Mr. O'Brien, for helping us bring our baby safely into the world. ❤️
Mr O’Brien was exceptional from the moment I first met him at 10 weeks pregnant, to my 6 week postpartum check. I put all my faith and trust in him for a very very special pregnancy and he always exceeded my expectations. I will be forever grateful to him.
This was my second birth with Mr O’Brien, he is always very professional and calm and I would highly recommend him
Pat played such a special part in one of the most important chapters of our lives. The safe delivery of both our children is something my husband and I will forever be grateful for. His kindness, patience, and reassurance never wavered, no matter how many questions we asked. He always made us feel heard, supported, and completely safe in his care. We genuinely couldn’t have wished for a better person to guide us through such precious moments, and we will always think the world of him. Bella S.
