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.
Very kind and listened to my problem .

Very likeable personality, lateral thinker and compassionate. I suffer from Chronic Pain from a Neurological Disease and he simply isn't equipped to continue the meds my prior General Practioners had no problem with. He specialises in "Family Medicine" and he is a more than adequate physician in that regard. Honestly he is a lovely and intelligent provider and very pleasant.

Dr. Orgeron listened to my concerns and in doing so ... solved the reason for a mysterious cough I've had for a long time. He suggested a new course of treatment to resolve that problem. I can't wait to be cough free. I'll be recommending him to all my family and friends.

Marion in Lafayette, LA – Jul 02, 2016
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Orgeron?
We looked forward to schedule our first appointment with Dr Orgeron but unfortunately we couldn't due to poor service delivered by a female staff member who answered the phone for us.
We received misleading information regarding the availability of Dr Orgeron saying the soonest we could see him was mid-June and so we called back and then she said June 28th.
We didn't appreciate that talk. We felt we were scheduling a hair-cut appointment.
