“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. John O’Brien and his entire team at St. Petersburg Center for Plastic Surgery. I live in Broward County, so choosing a surgeon in St. Petersburg meant traveling across the state, but after going through this experience, I can honestly say it was absolutely worth the trip. My experience started with a telehealth consultation. I sent Dr. O’Brien photos ahead of time, and during our virtual visit he was able to evaluate my face, discuss what I wanted to achieve, and explain his recommendations. My biggest priority from the beginning was that I wanted to look completely natural — refreshed, but still like myself. I ultimately had a deep-plane facelift with neck lift and lower blepharoplasty. I traveled to St. Petersburg the day before surgery for my in-person pre-op appointment, and my surgery was the following morning. From the pre-op process to surgery day and every follow-up appointment afterward, Dr. O’Brien and his entire staff have been wonderful. Everyone has been incredibly caring, responsive and patient about answering my many questions. I am writing this review only 9 days after surgery, and just one day after having my stitches and staples removed, and I am already so happy with my results. I healed incredibly quickly, I already look very normal despite still having swelling, and most importantly, I still look like ME. Nothing looks pulled, exaggerated or artificial. I can already see that as the remaining swelling resolves and everything settles, the result is going to be exactly what I wanted — a very natural, refreshed version of myself. Another huge consideration for me was cost. Living in South Florida, I researched what comparable facial surgery could cost in the Miami/Broward area, and Dr. O’Brien's pricing was significantly more reasonable. Even factoring in the drive and staying in St. Petersburg, I would make the same decision again without hesitation. Choosing someone to operate on your face is a very big decision. I wanted a surgeon who understood that my goal wasn't to look different — it was to look like myself, just refreshed. Dr. O’Brien completely understood that. I could not be happier. In fact, I have already referred Dr. O’Brien to new patients because I feel that confident in both his work and the experience I had with his entire team. I would highly recommend Dr. John O’Brien to anyone considering a deep-plane facelift, neck lift or facial rejuvenation surgery. The trip from Broward County was 100% worth it.”
“I had such a great experience with Dr. O’Brien and his team! He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and I’m so happy with how my breast augmentation turned out. He gave me exactly what I was looking for and made me feel confident and comfortable throughout the entire process. The staff is also so sweet and supportive, and everything from start to finish was super seamless. I finally have the confidence in my body that I’ve always wanted, and I’m so grateful! I would 100% recommend Dr. O’Brien to anyone considering a breast augmentation.”
“I had a breast augmentation done at Dr. John O'Brien plastic surgery center and had an amazing experience. Doctor O'Brien is very professional and confident. I was informed, prepared and well taken care of from start to finish. Entire staff is very nice and helpfull. I love my results! I highly recommend Dr. O'Brien and his team!”
“Dr. O'Brien is an incredible surgeon and healer. Every surgery with him has definitely improved my life and happiness. Staff is also awesome and very caring. Thank you everyone!! You all are the best!!!”
“I got a right ear otoplasty done by Dr. O’Brien a few months ago and am so happy with the results! His office is very clean, organized, and they took such great care of me. Michelle Neely was a great care coordinator and Ana De Castro was an amazing support during the process. Definitely recommend coming here!”
