Evan D. O'Brien, MD dba Woodbury Spine

I saw Dr. O'Brien for terrible nerve pain in my right arm which turned out to be multiple herniated disks. After multiple misdiagnosis from other doctors I was in terrible pain and was losing the strength in my right arm. I was able to quickly have surgery to remove the disks and fuse c6 c7 and c7 c8. Dr. Obrien answered all my questions and was able to get me into surgery in a few weeks. I am now a week post op and all of my nerve pain is gone. I have already regained a lot of the strength in my right arm and most of my range of motion as well. I am beyond thrilled with my experience and will send all of my family and friends with back pain to him with 100% confidence. I feel like a new person and am so glad I was able to find a doctor who listened and was able to help

I would recommend doctor O'Brien and Chris to anyone who has back issues. I suffered for weeks dealing with my back and other medical people telling me I had sciatica. It wasn't until I was taken to the Hospital and Dr. O'Brien and Chris saw me...they diagnosed via MRI that I had 2 herniated disc...1 old one and 1 new one...I had emergency surgery, which Dr. O'Brien did on a Sunday morning the day before he was to go on vacation. That speaks to his professionalism and level of compassion. Today I going to see him for my last visit...I can walk again and not in excruciating pain...

I can't say enough about this practice! I had an anterior/posterior lumbar fusion a little over a year ago. Dr. O"Brien and Chris were at the hospital each and every day, as I recovered. When I came home, I found the staff at the office, especially Diane, an extraordinary help. Any time, day or night for whatever I needed, someone was there! If I needed to come into the office they always made time for me, even if I didn't have an appointment. Positively THE BEST!

I originally presented to Dr O'Brien with severe neck and left arm pain. I did require surgery which was performed on 8/21/20 with great results. Not only do I not have any pain but on a preoperative MRI they discovered a lesion on the right side of my thyroid. After further testing the lesion turned out to be a fast growing cancer and it was removed shortly after. I now have an excellent prognosis and I am so grateful to doctor O'Brien and Chris who discovered this early and helped give me a better chance to beat it and enjoy life. Very happy with this practice and my results on both issues. Highly recommended.

Dr. O’Brien and his staff are extremely friendly and professional. They made me feel comfortable and at ease during a time of great stress in my life. I was in a car accident damaging my spine and it was determined that we needed to do surgery, in the L5-S1 area, to repair the damage. The procedure performed was a newer anterior approach ( through the front of the stomach). I did have my concerns about having this procedure, as a 28 year old you worry about having surgery, but Chris and Dr. O’Brien reassured me I was in good hands. And they were right, the surgery went smooth and I was able to walk around just hours after the surgery. In the next coming weeks the pain was almost completely gone and I was able to live almost pain free. It’s been months since surgery and I am so happy I went ahead and got the surgery. My lower back pain has been greatly decreased and I’m starting to get my life back. I cannot recommend these guys more, they truly did give me my life back after a horrible accident.
