Blake O’Brien, M.D., is an internal medicine physician at INTEGRIS Health Baptist Medical Center. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine in Oklahoma City. Dr. O’Brien completed his residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He is passionate about patients and the patient experience. Dr. O’Brien has neurofibromatosis type II, and went through a nine-hour brain surgery in 2007 at the age of 20 to remove a tumor on his auditory nerve. This was a life-changing experience that spurred his interest in medicine. Since being a patient himself, he is very interested in making sure that his patients feel that he listens to their concerns and understands their goals for their care and their life when they leave the office.
