Kevin O’Brien, MD
Professor, Internal Medicine
Clerkship Director, Inpatient Adult Medicine

Dr. Kevin O'Brien has been my doctor
for over 16 years. I can always be sure
to get timely and good medical advice
when I need it. And he went beyond the
call of duty when caring for my late hus-
band. He even visited my husband at
home one evening just two days before Victor died.

Dr. O”Brien is intelligent and creative in evaluating patient
illness. Add to that kindness and empathy and you have
one of the very best doctors I have ever encountered..

He has helped keep my son Kevin alive through many cru-
cial health problems. He's competent, kind, caring, and
funny. He's understanding. He listens to his patients and
their family members. He never yells and is quite soft spo-
ken but when he does speak you should listen. His goal is
to keep his patients well and he's great at it.

Dr. Obrien is one of the very best internal medicine doctors.
He has been with me through so much and has made me
better. I feel that he genuinely cares about me as his pa-
tient. I was recently in TGH for a major illness. I let him
know on my chart and he called me and talked to me on the
phone for a long time. That meant a lot to me.

He is friendly, extremely competent, takes the time to ex-
plain and also he listens to you! And he is encouraging!

Dr. O'Brien is an amazing man who has been our family in-
ternist for many years. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he
is equally caring and compassionate. My husband and I are
eternally grateful for his care. We honor our hero. G-d bless
you.
