Hi I’m Katie Bell and I’m 19 years old, at the age of 14 I had rods and spinal fusion surgery which lasted 11 hours. I will be forever grateful to Mr O’Brien he was amazing at doing what he did for me and so were his team. Mr O’Brien wasn’t just Andrew Charles O’Brien 6.6.1964 - 28.9.2018 💚💫

Hello, I’m Katie, Andrew was my consultant and in 2015 an 11 hour spinal operation not only was he my consultant he was my friend and myself and my family will never forget what he did for me, whether it was the early diagnosis of my Scoliosis journey, or the back bracing part or my surgery he always made time to answer all my questions before I left the room and it was a bonus if he didn’t make me cry (happily😂 he always made sure I had smile on my face!) and I needed anything during my journey he was only a email away!! Andrew O’Brien 6.6.64 - 28.9.18💚✨love to his wife Krystyna, children Anna and Heli who I met last year when they came to a memorial service I held in school because he had other patients in my school! Hope to see you all again soon to reveal Andrew’s plaque in my school memorial garden!!💚xxxxxxxxxxxxx

We hope that you find this tribute to Andy a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
