:) Click to report rating    12/17/09 5 4 5 5  I saw Dr. O'Brien for a second opinion back in August 2009. I have to say that I was very impressed by his knowledge as well as by the overall performance of the staff. I didn't feel like I was a number like I do at my current Electrophysiologist's office. I only wish Dr. O'Brien's office was closer to where I live.

:) Click to report rating    7/9/08 5 5 4 3  I suddenly developed PVC's (premature ventricular contractions) and they put me through a lot of expensive testing: stress test, thallium test, echocardiogram, blood test etc. My general physician mentioned the tendency of Capital Cardiology Associates (CCA) to run you through many expensive tests. After getting no help with curing my problem, I just stopped going. Maybe I had something that current medical practice could not help? Fortunately, my problem cured itself with time. In retrospect, my best guess was that I had some type of viral/bacterial infection in my blood that went to my heart from a multiple saw cut that occurred just before my symptoms appeared. I mentioned this several times but was ignored. I would go to CCA for a specific technically challenging operation as their doctors come from the best schools and they have good support staff. But they are definitely expensive and may be too narrowly specialized so they miss the forest for the trees.
