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.

I mean, he's kept me alive...
I mean, he's kept me alive the past couple of years. Have I had extraordinary heart health as a result? No, as most heart failure patients won't. He's kept me alive though, without reoccurrence of the original problem. He is also a bit conservative and can be a bore, but so am I, so...

Horrible man. Lazy, rude, and apathetic. Thinks he knows it all and never listens. Find someone else!

I have been a patient of Dr Orfords for about 10 years, since he was in WY. He eventually recomded me to the transplant team at Utah Heart Clinic. He was a great go between in the meantime. He was awesome at squeezing me in for in between routine check ups and doing what ever he could for me. I see him now on occasion when he does my Right Heart Caths. He even saw and treated my 90 year old grandmother in law just becuase I called him and he relaized how far away she was from any sepcialsts.
