  1. Hi~ I'm from southern Minnesota and have heard good things about Dr. Peter O'Brien in Sioux Falls. A friend had him do her band and my sister and I just went to his informational meeting. I have an appointment scheduleld with him on Nov. 7 and am looking for anyone who has been his patient and any feedback they can give. Emily
  2. Hello~ I just found this site and am so excited to be able to compare notes with others who have had or are considering surgery. My sister and I just went to Dr. O'Brien's informational meeting in Sioux Falls last Wednesday. We have a friend who had him and is really pleased. He seems to have an excellent record, and his staff seemed very nice, too. In researching online, hje's got super positive reviews from his patients. I just called this morning and scheduled my one on one visit with him. It's exciting to finally have something that seems do-able...I just couldn't see having bypass surgery...too many complications and horror stories. My sister is a physical therapis who has seen a lot of them first hand. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing Dr. O'Brien and getting this whole pr ocess started. I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Minnesota (Aware Gold), which they said has been great about coverage. I was glad to see a post from someone who had gone to Dr. O'Brien.
