Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

There is No comparison. He’s the Best!Melissa L. Miller

Rushed appointment
I felt rushed. He kept interrupting me. He didn't look over my results prior to my appt. I had to correct him when he commented on the procedure. This follow-up appt was totally different than my first appt. He was great then.

The Dreaded Colonoscopy
Dr. Orinion has a great bedside manner. I had a colonoscopy done recently, and he explained everything to me about the procedure even though I had one before. The procedure was done quickly and they got me in and out of there in record time. No one likes having a colonoscopy, but Dr. Orinion made it as pleasant as possible.

He’s such a good Dr
I thought all of it went well. I called the office and gave them my referral we made an appointment and that was fine. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Dr. Orinion is very kind and explains things so I knew what to expect. And after the procedure he told me what he found and answered any questions that I had.

Great Level of Care
Dr Orinion has a great bedside manner and is easy to talk to about issues I'm currently experiencing. He is through at getting to the route of the problem and does not make me feel rushed during the visit. He takes the time to listen.

Efficient and friendly
Everything went according to schedule. I completed some simple paperwork and they took me back early. One person is allowed to sit with you pre and post procedure. The doctor is very easy to communicate with. He has great bedside manner. My husband also sees Dr Orinion.
