Dr. Maxim Orlov, MD

My son is having his surgery right now at a facility near AAMC with doctor Shushan as the surgeon, and dr Orlov as an anesthesiologist. So far it’s been the best surgery experience we’ve had. They do it very humanely. I was worried that I would have to start begging and convincing them to do and allow certain things in order to reduce my son’s anxiety, like I had to do when his brother had his surgeries last spring. That was in my wish list: 1. Put him under light sedation for inserting the IV. (It took way too many tries when they tried with with his brother, it was very traumatizing to him). 2. Let me accompany him to the OR and stay until he falls asleep. (Of course they fully suited me up to avoid the risk of getting germs into the room). 3. Let me be with him very shortly after he wakes up, even if he is drowsy. 4. Prescribe him good pain medication for 3 days after the surgery. They were 100% of all of it and we had the best surgery experience we’ve ever had!
