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.

World class
You can’t be in better hands than Dr. Orkin’s.

LIFESAVER!!!=)
Dr. Bruce Orkin and his care team are a pinnacle of their profession! From the moment I entered their care in an emergency state in need of surgery with confident and qualified hands to cut me into peices in the necessity of keeping me alive, through the intermediate care leading to my next surgery to cut more peices and then put them all back together again and in doing so rewrote this tale of Humpty Dumpty and how amazing the Kings Men and Women are and how blessed to be in their care I was and am!! Thank you Again Dr. Orkin, Dr. Wu, Dr. Bonilla and all the rest their Care Team, you all truly are lifesavers!!!=)

Dr. Orkin performed surgery for me at the end of June. I received a daily update as to what to be expected after surgery . My pain was minimal and my post surgery check up indicated I was healing well. I was very impressed with everyone involved with Dr. Orkin’s practice.

Dr Orkin operated on my son for rectal cancer. Dr Orkin is kind, compassionate, and very professional. He took the time to answer all of our questions. He was wonderful to me after my son's surgery. He sat with me for a long while as I was very upset. Dr. Orkin is one of the best and I would absolutely trust him with my life. He is one of the best and I highly recommend him.
