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.

Beware, she will throw you under the bus!
I was under Dr. Orr's care for over 1 year. She would not allow an urgent appointment between regularly scheduled appointments, even though my employer required a doctor's note. When I tried to ask about my plan of care if I was unable to work due to work injury pain, she told me "if you do not like my treatment, you can go find another doctor." With that, she discharged me from her care with ZERO notice. This doctor will NOT back you up. She demonstrates more concern about her own bottle line than the patients she serves.

Fantastic Doctor and Staff
I’ve been working with Dr Orr for over a year after I was injured badly at work. She has been nothing but amazing for me and her staff is always on top of everything you need. I’d highly recommend Dr Orr to anyone that has been injured in a work accident.

Dr. Carol Orr actually listens to my complaints and seeks solutions by referral for my health care needs. Dr. Orr goes above and beyond to make the necessary health care referrals while navigating the constraints of my Workers Comp. Insurance. Her staff is very friendly and competent.

I was injured at work, Dr Orr and her staff has provided me the absolute best care, and I believe, great advice and treatment during every visit. She listened to my concerns regarding my injuries, emotional stress, etc. Dr. Orr went above and beyond trying to get me as comfortable as possible...in a very uncomfortable situation. I highly recommend Dr. Orr.
