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.

Everything was good.

Dr. Bernardo 'Joe' Ordonez put our track!
One year ago, Dr. Bernardo 'Joe' Ordonez put our train back on its tracks.My partner, Jackie, had developed serious mobility and dexterity issues. Earlier spinal surgery was suspected - five vertebrae had been fused twenty-five years ago.Dr. 'Joe' assessed the problem and explained his plan to address another wayward vertebra. It wasn't what he said, but how he said it, that we'll never forget. 'Joe' was the way Dr. Ordonez introduced himself at our first meeting. And that says it all. His personal stories and easy-going manner made our ordeal easier.If you decide to work with Dr. Ordonez you can be assured you will be cared for by the most skilled, professional team on this earth. They feel you!Now a year later, Jackie's recovery has been extraordinary. If you'd like to talk about it with us, please call the office for contact information.We wish you the best with your medical challenge.Take care, Bill Payne

The visit was a great experience. There was a slight delay from the appointment time but the doctor was doing hospital rounds. Dr Ordonez spends all the time necessary to discuss the problems and make sure the prescriptions were correct. His whole team is outstanding.

Dr. Ordonez is the best and saved my life 10 years ago and his helper Brooke is wonderful. I live at the Blue Ridge Parkway and must drive 6 hours to my appointments but would continue even if it were twice the distance. I would do anything for Dr. Ordonez & Brooke.

Always a good experience. As far a the survey goes some questions weren't applicable because this physician is a specialist not a primary care physician.

What an amazing surgeon. He truly saved my husband‘s life. Not only is he the most amazing surgeon I have ever seen, He is also a super compassionate human being. He takes the time to explain what he is going to do and follows up after the procedure is done with such care and compassion. We had never encountered a doctor of this caliberbefore.
