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 had a deviated septum and resulting chronic sinusitis that I had ignored too long. I had developed cysts in three different sinus cavities, ethnoids, sphenoids, and maxillaries according to the MRI.. I went to the first specialist who told me he wasn't specialized enough to operate where one of the cysts were located. He referred me to Dr. Orr. Dr. Orr was professional, kind, hand helpful. He explained everything clearly. I could breathe clearly for the first time in years.

About Me

care philosophy

We believe in providing individual care in a comfortable environment where everyone gets as much attention as necessary. I spend as much time with every patient that is required, until their needs are met. This often creates patient wait times that are hard to predict, but rest-assured that your voice will be heard.
