Our Physician

Dr. Robert O'Brian, M.D

Rheumatologist | Veteran | Compassionate Care Provider

A native of Seattle, Washington, Dr. O’Brian proudly served in the U.S. Navy with assignments on both coasts and deployments to Afghanistan, the Mediterranean, Central and South America, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He spent many years training and practicing at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, and now calls Maryland home.

Dr. O’Brian lives with his wife, Laura, and their two children, Oscar and Emerson, and values the strong bonds of his close-knit family.

“I feel privileged to have been able to participate in the care of so many wonderful patients over my years in the Navy. My goal has always been to provide the highest level of compassionate and comprehensive care—the same care I would give to members of my own family.”

Dr. O’Brian brings a wealth of experience, empathy, and dedication to every patient interaction, combining military precision with a deeply personal approach to rheumatology.
