Best of the Best! I have been more than pleased with the care he provided! - Dr O’Brien is a great surgeon! I am a nurse and carefully selected him to provide my abdominoplasty. I have been more than pleased with the care he provided! Thank you Dr O’Brien and staff, you are the best of the best :) More
Dr. O’Brien performed a brow lift, lower face and neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, fat grafting, and abdominal liposuction. Six weeks later I am very pleased and looking great! Dr. O’Brien explains procedures well and demonstrates a caring attitude towards his patients. I would use Dr. O’Brien again and highly recommend him. The office staff exhibits the same caring and concern for the patients. More
Dr. O'Brien and His Staff Are Amazing - I had an amazing experience with Dr. Obrien before and after my procedure!The ease of scheduling and information provided before and after surgery made the whole procedure go smoothly. I had very little post surgery pain due to the Vita Medica supplement support included in the cost of the procedure.As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.Updated on 15 Feb 2024:My procedure was an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) but the app wouldn't let me put that in the box! It kept defaulting to abdominal etching! Now it says there is not enough characters in the post to update! More
Dr. O’Brien is at the top of his game. His depth of experience shows. He listened to my needs. Then he clearly communicated options for me to choose from. We made a plan together that met my medical and cosmetic goals. His nurse and office staff are wonderful. All of my pre and post op appointments have started with minutes of my appointment time. From start to finish I felt well cared for and confident in Dr. O’Brien’s abilities. More
Very Positive - I would definitely return to this Center - I was very happy about this experience. Dr O'Brien and each staff member I had occasion to deal with were pleasant and professional. I would definitely return to this Center for other cosmetic surgery procedures. More
Happy with Care - abdominoplasty and body lift - Dr. O'Brien performed an abdominoplasty and body lift on me. Dr. O'Brien listened to my concerns about my body and made some very helpful suggestions. I am very happy with my results and the care I received from Dr. O'Brien and his wonderful staff. More
Crème de la crème! I had a mommy makeover. Dr. O’Brien did an outstanding job. I had a previous unexpected surgery years ago that left a vertical scar on my abdominal area that was very embarrassing, it is gone. Dr. O’Brien’s cuts are perfect. I had two separate lymphatic massages recently and both ladies said that Dr. O’Brien did a great job. They said they have seen many botched surgeries. They can not believe how quickly and nicely I am healing considering it has only been 5 weeks. Dr. O’Brien’s bedside manner is professional, down to earth, knowledgeable, caring and he listens. I am a very private lady, I would never give a plastic surgery recommendation on social media, however, I will be 60 years old very soon, and I am throwing caution to the wind for the benefit of you choosing the right surgeon. I am thrilled with my results thus far, and I know it will keep looking better in the next few months. I love Dr. O’Brien as my plastic surgeon. I highly recommend him. More
Age 62, 2 months post mommy makeover - could not be happier with results! - Dr. O’Brien and his staff are awesome. I’ve never had a Dr. come out to the waiting room to get me himself for my first consultation. From that moment on, everything was done to make me feel comfortable and relaxed. Everything was explained to me throughly in a relaxed atmosphere. When I came in for my surgery, everyone there put me at ease and made me feel so confident. After the surgery, I walked to the recovery myself, had very little discomfort and went home in the morning. I had a pain pump for three days, but other than that, I actually never took a pain pill. I’m 62, and two months out from my surgery, and I could not be happier with the results! Dr. O’Brien and his staff have made this an amazing experience and if I ever decide to do anything else, he is definitely who I will choose. More
I am 66 yo man and I sought Dr O’Brian’s talents n skills to perform a tummy tuck. I am short at 5ft 6 in and weighed 236 lbs: yep a huge noticeable jelly roll surrounded my waist. He n his practice are quite diligent in evaluating you n preparing you for surgery, the recovery process, and end result. I relieved top notch care. Pain was managed quite well. No complications. Close, frequent post op visits to monitor healing. Staff is wonderful. I’m now 4mo post op and am pleased with my results. 9 lbs of fat n excess gone. While I don’t have a 6 pack stomach I have a flat stomach. 2 inches of my waist!!I highly recommend this practice. Dr. O’Brian has 30+ years of experience n expertise More

I can’t say enough about the excellent patient care provided by the entire staff. I always get a live person on the phone and all my questions are answered quickly. The follow up care is top notch with compassion and sincerity. Dr O’Brien outlined EVERY detail of procedure, recovery and expectations. Results are fantastic! More
I had both a timmy tuck and breast implantation replacement and uplifting. I am sure that is not the technical terms, but you get the picture. I was back at my desk able to work within 4 weeks. The scaring in so minimal considering what was done and removing all the stretch marks and rolls of fat and skin I expected a scar. Dr. O'Brien put the scar far enough below the belly button that it is easily covered by bikini cut clothing. The staff is very friendly and considerate. They talk to me and welcome me by name. The surgery was remarkably easy and they advised, anticipated and made sure I had as pain free a recovery as was possible. I definitely recommend Dr O'Brien for anyone desiring to look and feel better about yourself. To feel confident in your clothes and to feel better about yourself when you look in your mirror. More
Why recreate the wheel, see the 5 star reviews, I agree with them all. I had another procedure done from another surgeon and Dr OBrien more that topped the other. Im very happy with the outcome of my procedures and wouldnt hesitate to go back to Dr OBrien. I will always have the legacy of being the only patient that drove himself to his post op the next day. More
Amazing Mommy Makeover - I did my research and visited many plastic surgery doctors in Clearwater and Dr. John O’Brien was my favorite. And did a mommy make over, tummy tuck, breast augmentation and Lipo with Dr. O’Brien and he did an AMAZING job. I Love it!!!! He is really nice, caring and very talented. The staff were amazing Anna and Mary. When I went for surgery that day all the medical staff were very kind and I felt really taken care of. More

Fantastic Results! I had Liposection along with Tummy Tuck. It was the best thing so far that I have done for ME! Dr. O'Brian was extremely professional and gave excellent advice and opinions of what I should have done. He gave realistic expectations and was very through with his explanations. The staff was awesome! Very professional and personable. Very attentive and made you feel at 'home'! I highly recommend Dr. O'Brian for any procedure :) More

We couldnt ask for better experience !! My husband and I had Liposuction in Abdomen, waist and hip area with Dr.O'brien. He is excellent in every possible way. Although he has a great knowledge and experience, he. always seeking for new techniques and technology to create best result for his patients. The most wonderful thing about Dr. O’Brien is that he is going to be honest and direct with you and let you know what is going to be the result and what to except. If the procedure is not a good choice for the patient, he will defiantly let you know. Dr. John has excellent bedside manner and make you feel comfortable through the whole process. And last but not least, I should also thank the nurses, PA’s and staff here for their great care and professionalism. I do believe Dr. O’brien and all staff are the true dream team. More
When I decided to have a tummy tuck, I searched for doctors in my area. (Ocala, Gainesville.) I did not hear back from some and others just sent a generic email. I wanted to ask a real person questions. I decided to search St Pete, where I used to live. I not only got an immediate email from Dr O'Brien's office, I also received a call. I was treated with great respect and asked a few questions. I scheduled a tele-chat with Dr O'Brien who answered all of my questions and never made me feel rushed or pressured. I made the choice to use him based on his extensive background, No lawsuits in his career, photos and bedside manner. He made sure that I understood about results, healing time & expectation level. I had the surgery Sept 2020. I was immediately impressed with the results, and after swelling etc. has gone away, I am even happier! I continue to adhere to his advice for my body to heal. I can't say enough great things about the staff and their wonderful care. Fair price and worth it! More
Dr. O'Brien is an excellent surgeon and I highly recommend him. I had a tummy tuck, very minimal scarring and no pain. I also had the deep laser on my face and the results of both procedures are fantastic More
Dr.Obrien and his staff are absolutely AMAZING! In 2012 I had botched surgery no other surgeon's would even attempt to fix. Dr.O did not hesitate! Fixed the problem and infection within days- 2019 tummy tuck to follow with incredible results. Thank you! More

It has been two years since my Coolsculpting revision process began with Dr. O'Brien. I want to thank the Dr. and his staff for the professionalism, support, and love I felt during this process. It was the little things they did that made me think that they cared about me as a person and not as just a patient. The Tummy Tuck and later Liposuction I received from Dr. O'Brien was the result of two Coolsculpting procedures, which caused me to have a condition known as adipose hyperplasia. This happens when, instead of your fat-melting, it grows. Mine was an advanced case where you could see the large blocks of fat in the shape of the Coolsculpting paddles on my stomach, flanks, and thighs. I could cross my arms and lay them across the block of fat sticking out of my stomach.I found Dr. O'Brien after the first doctor who did the Coolscuplting told me that he couldn't help me; don't contact him again, and oh, by the way, you now need one of the most invasive elective surgery to fix it. You need a Tummy Tuck. The physical effect was visible, but what I didn't count on was the mental impact this would have on me. This was scary and depressing. If I wanted a Tummy Tuck and Lipo, I would have done it in the first place. Now I had to find a Dr. I could trust to do the Tummy Tuck. What made the revision process manageable was Dr. O'Brien. If you are someone who needs a doctor and his team to help you through a Plastic Surgical revision, you want to have Dr. O'Brien do your surgery. I can't image another doctor holding my hand for two years while we work through this process, but that is precisely what he did. As a patient, you want a doctor that will give you the information you need to hear and not what you want to hear, and it was hard for me sometimes slow down and listen, but again, the best thing I did was trust Dr. O'Brien, and I suggest you do the same. If you are someone who had an adverse effect from CoolScuplting or you are choosing an elective Plastic Surgery, in my opinion, Dr. O'Brien, the best person to do the job. More
Thank you for updating my old body and making me feel pretty!! More
I am no stranger to plastic surgery, and have had several procedures done on my body over many years, both invasive and non-invasive (breast reduction, augmentation, liposuction, botox, coolsculpting, etc.), but I was afraid to do anything to my face. I'd had an accident in my 20s that left one eyebrow much lower than the other, and my eyelids both looked heavy, prompting people to ask me all the time if I was tired. I started looking into what I could do to improve the tired appearance and level out my eyebrows in November 2018. I met with Dr. O'Brien as part of that, and he made several suggestions about what I could do, such as a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty, but he also did not pressure me to do anything. In addition, I asked about ultherapy, another non-invasive treatment. Dr. O explained that I was not a candidate for the treatment because I have a pacemaker, and he would not even consider it (which I respect and appreciate). So I stuck with Botox for the time. I did look into a few other local surgeons in St. Pete. I was frustrated that their websites lacked information about the most modern ways to perform the procedures, and when I tried to reach out to some of them, I either could not get through, didn't get a response, or if I did get a response, it was like I was an inconvenience. It was no question that I was going back to talk to Dr. O'Brien. My husband had been very against my doing anything to my face, and when I told him I was considering the brow lift and blepharoplasty suggested by Dr. O'Brien, he agreed to at least come with me to the 2nd consult (mostly to try to talk me out of it). Once we got there, Dr. O explained the entire process to both of us, and answered all the questions my husband had. One of our concerns was that I would look overdone or have that "duck face" look. Dr O'Brien explained how I would really look like myself, just more awake with better symmetry, and that is exactly what happened. I had a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty in his beautiful and comfortable surgical center in St Pete. I had laser resurfacing at the same time, and my skin looks beautiful. The follow-up care with Dr. O'Brien and his staff was spectacular. They are all so friendly and welcoming, and they entire staff works together to make sure I can maintain my results. I strongly recommend Dr. O'Brien to anyone who is considering a plastic surgery procedure. More

Dr. O explained that I was not a candidate for the treatment because I have a pacemaker, and he would not even consider it (which I respect and appreciate). So I stuck with Botox for the time. I did look into a few other local surgeons in St. Pete. I was frustrated that their websites lacked information about the most modern ways to perform the procedures, and when I tried to reach out to some of them, I either could not get through, didn't get a response, or if I did get a response, it was like I was an inconvenience. It was no question that I was going back to talk to Dr. O'Brien. My husband had been very against my doing anything to my face, and when I told him I was considering the brow lift and blepharoplasty suggested by Dr. O'Brien, he agreed to at least come with me to the 2nd consult (mostly to try to talk me out of it). Once we got there, Dr. O explained the entire process to both of us, and answered all the questions my husband had. One of our concerns was that I would look overdone or have that "duck face" look. Dr O'Brien explained how I would really look like myself, just more awake with better symmetry, and that is exactly what happened. I had a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty in his beautiful and comfortable surgical center in St Pete. I had laser resurfacing at the same time, and my skin looks beautiful. The follow-up care with Dr. O'Brien and his staff was spectacular. They are all so friendly and welcoming, and the entire staff works together to make sure I can maintain my results. I strongly recommend Dr. O'Brien to anyone who is considering a plastic surgery procedure. More

I am 100% pleased with the service and treatment I have received with Dr. O'Brien. I was impressed from the first consult. His #1 concern is the safety of his patients and he is very honest. He takes his time to explain things thoroughly and answers all questions. The office staff is very efficient and friendly. They all make you feel very comfortable. Appointments run on time. After my procedure Dr. O'Brien called me that evening to check on me and I had a follow up appointment the next day. The whole office is Great!

Dr. O'Brien and his entire staff are the best, most professional, and kind people you could ever hope to find. From the initial consultation with the doctor himself, to each and every follow up appointment after my procedure, I left the office feeling exceptionally positive and very well cared for. I had a combined neck lift and ablative laser on my face. My friend had a face lift and tummy tuck (separate procedures) and we both feel that our expectations were exceeded. Both Anesthesiologists are MD's and the nursing specialists, KC and Katie are exceptional. Dr. O'Brien is one of the most personable doctors I have ever met, and his office has a family oriented vibe. I liked that he always took as much time during appointments to discuss each and every detail with me. Look no further if you want the best care! More
I had a hydrofacial today with dana and was very happy with my results. Im excited for more and to see the progress with my skin. I also scheduled a tummy tuck with dr. O'Brien. Very excited to see those results too. Everyone in the office is super welcoming and nice. Everyone was also very informative and knowledgeable and beyond helpful. Thankyou to all for making me feel so comfortable. More

Big huge THANK YOU - Dr O'Brien, his amazing office staff, and team of nurses are top notch. From my very first phone call, I felt an immediate connection. I deeply appreciate Dr. O'Brien's expertise and honesty. My procedure was a tummy tuck with Lipo. To say I was nervous about the procedure was an understatement as I dont tolerate pain well. I had my surgery and Im still surprised about the ease of my recovery! I have thoroughly enjoyed every post opt visit. I cant stay out of the mirror and I receive so many compliments daily. My life has changed as a result of this procedure. My confidence and my determination to continue making healthy choices was increased by this process. BIG huge and heartfelt THANK YOU to such a great team!! More

Dr. O'Brien, his entire staff, his knowledge, his expertise and professionalism is top-notch. I was a little apprehensive about having cosmetic surgery, however, from the very first moment I walked into the office, I was comfortable and relaxed. I knew exactly what to expect before, during and after my procedures. His office performs a number of cosmetic/plastic surgeries, along with injections, facials and more. Trust Dr. O'Brien if you are thinking about any kind of beautification procedures, procedures for corrections,....or if you just want to find out what he can do to enhance your natural beauty! More

Amazing Tummy Tuck & Lip Experience, Life Changing - Finally made a decision for Tummy tuck & VASERlipo after 30 years of being unhappy. Major weight loss and two vertical c-sections I was very self conscious of my tummy. My loose skin would hang doing planks & muscles weren't attached. This surgery has been life changing. Recovery little harder than expected, but at 12 weeks I am back at the gym, still a little swelling. Very pleased with my results.Updated on 27 Oct 2017:I'm loving my new tummy at 12 weeks. I feel great mostly but getting back into my full workout has been a challenge. Pushups are on the knees after 3-4, plank hold down to 15-30 sec. Keeping it light on weights and started interval training 60:30 up to 3 miles. Listening to my body and when I feel any pain or discomfort I stop. Feeling like I may have gained a couple of pounds but staying clear of scales. I do know that my waist fluctuates depending on swelling. Considering I'm 57 years old, I think I'm doing great! I wouldn't change a thing. More

Dreams to come true!! - One of the most amazing things I could have ever done. Dr O'Brien was amazing! I lost a little over a hundred pounds and did a full belt lipectomy. The entire process was excellent, from pre to post op, every staff member, including Dr. O'Brien was so helpful in explaining the procedure, listening and answering all my questions.

Much Needed Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck - Saint Petersburg, FL - If you expect the BEST, then your search is over! I had been contemplating getting a breast reduction for a number of years, my bra size was 36 J (try finding bra that size!) and a tummy tuck, but ultimately kept putting the surgery on the back burner. Even though I was unhappy with the appearance of my breasts and abdomen (after having two children), I didn't want to take 'the easy way out' and resort to surgery. For more than three years I hit the gym...hard. Yes, my appearance did improve, but ultimately, there is only so much that diet and exercise can achieve. From consultation to post op care, Dr. O’Brien and his staff (Katie, Jennifer, Kristin) are there 24/7. November 10, 2015 was my surgery and I seriously can't believe how great I look!! This operation has without a doubt boosted my self-esteem immensely! If you are considering any cosmetic procedure I would highly recommend Dr. O’Brien as his attention to detail is incredible! Thank you Dr. O’Brien and the entire staff, you have given me a gift no one else could! More
51 Year Old Female with 2 Children Ages 25 and 23. Saint Petersburg, FL - I would definitely recommend this procedure for anyone who is wanting to loose body fat, but also who follows a healthy diet and exercises. I did choose to be put to sleep for procedure, but not under general anesthesia. I woke up without any pain at all just slight tenderness. I was prescribed pain meds which were never used. I just used ibuprophen to take discomfort away. Part of my painless... More

32 Year with Muscle Separation and Loose Skin After Two Kids - Saint Petersburg, FL - After having two kids in my 20's I was left with some loose skin. I was working out, eating right, got a trainer but nothing was changing. I had gone to other plastic surgeons and never felt comfortable enough to take the next step.

Body Lift 2015, 45 Year Old Male - Saint Petersburg, FL - I recently just passed my six week mark post op from a lower body lift, and chest lipo. This was a big step for me, first time for any surgery! Just a little history, I had lost over 110 pounds, from weighing 305 lbs to 195 lbs on the day of surgery. I had been exercising, running, eating right but could not lose that extra skin, I had hit 14% body fat. I met with Dr. John O'Brien, Jr. in Saint Petersburg, FL a few times, and it actually took me two years to take the plunge and have the surgery. I am so thankful for finding such a great Doctor and an amazing staff! Everyone at the office has been wonderful. Doctor O'Brien answered every question I had, he took the time to listen, I know he has been through thousands of patient interviews but he treated mine as it was his most important part of his day. I also want to thank Katie, one of the nurses that has assisted me since day one of post op, she is the best. More
