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.

Hand Down the best Surgeon Kaiser has to offer
Dr. James Joseph Orman my name is Elaina Churchill and you may not recall but you attached my ulna nerve as I severed it completely in June 2006, 4 weeks after my Son Ethan was born. I wanted an opportunity to meet with you in person not only to thank you but so you may see the fantastic job you did so early in your career at Kaiser. Just the chance to catch up maybe a quick exam, photos and a letter from me attesting to your skills as a top notch surgeon who gave me a chance to not only continue on in my career, my life and my future I damn near made a 100% recovery or very close to it but Ill allow you to be the Judge. Words can not express the gratitude I have towards you as it allowed me to function as a normally person pretty much as I did prior to the accident and I never did learn how to write left handed which is what you left me with. The recovery did however take about 15 years as nerves grow back at a very slow rate and I had a very good Internal Medicine Dr work with

Horrible doctor!
Wow if I could give him 0 stars I would! Very condescending, snobby and demeaning. I went in for a breast consult and the second he walked in he said I didn’t qualify because I was too fat, or obese as he called it. The whole time during the spot (a whole 10-mins) due to being rushed, I sensed he didn’t want to be there and made remarks of displeasure when looking at my body. I left the appointment in tears.

Dr. Orman was the worst Dr. I’ve ever come across with. I’ve had gynecomastia surgery with him twice because the first time he did not do it right and left breast tissue that continue to grow. I should have not gone back to him, but since I thought being a Chief Surgeon of Kaiser he would do a good job this time around. I was so wrong. Now I have multiple dent on my chest and my nipples are uneven. It looks hideous and all he can say is he is sorry I am not happy with his work. He also insinuated that my dislike for his work might be psychological and that i should be happy. I spent so much time recovering and spent so much money, just to get a deformed chest with 5 different dents that are very visible and one nipple is higher than the other. I have been told by many of the people that have seen my chest to sue this SOB Dr. Dr. Orman have had complaints before but since he is on the Board with Kaiser. Kaiser seem to just look away. Please do your research and find a better Dr.
