Dr. Megan O'brien
Overview
My passion for helping others and my interest in science led me to medicine. I believe in a team-based approach in caring for patients. I am committed to listening and working together with my patients to find an accurate diagnosis and evidence-based treatment plan that is right for them and their lifestyle.
