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.

Favorite doctor ever!
Where did this doctor go!? He was THE best, most down to earth doctor, who explained everything so thoroughly and spent 30 minutes with us answering all my mother in laws questions. We were so sad to hear that he relocated but trust he is out there somewhere making someone’s loved ones comforted and pain free!

Worst experience
I had an epidural steroid injection done by this Dr in Dodgeville WI. The first one he did on me went great, because he used the x-ray to guide it to the right location. The second one I came in for went horribly wrong because he failed to use the x-ray. I was laying on the table, screaming and crying. However, Orji did not stop pushing the steroid med into my lower back. The nurses just sedated me more which didn't help me at all because the damage was done. Now, I'm in a lifetime of debilitating, chronic pain. I feel EVERY single day as though my legs are on fire from my lower back down both of my legs to my feet. Where did the standard of care go for this "Dr?!"

My husband and I met Dr. Orji for the first time in Jan 2021. I am a nurse and a professional patient advocate so my expectations are pretty high. Dr Orji met EVERY expectation. He was warm, empathetic, honest and an active listener. I give him the highest rating possible!’

I have been seeing Dr.Orji for several months for back pain that I've had after my 2 surgeries by another Dr.. I WOULD recommend Dr.Orji to anyone. He goes out of his way to explain things, he makes sure his patients are knowledgeable about their health issue, he has a wonderful personality, sense of humor, he works great with other Dr. and specialist in other areas. I was pleased beyond words to have found such a wonderfully skilled Dr. so close to home. I had a spinal stimulator implant done in July of 2019, I was pleased with everything he had accomplished with me. I wouldn't even want to think about having any other Dr. on my case. Thank you Dr.Orji from my husband and myself.

Dr. Orji is new to the pain clinic in Jacksonville. He does not listen to his patients. We have only met twice. The first time I thought he was rude but many doctors lack bedside manners so I dismissed it. I had major surgery and a week after surgery he took me off pain medicine my surgeon put me on. I suffered so bad I wish he had to have both knees replaced at 38 years old and then stripped off all medicine. He is very disrespectful in every aspect he said Midwest doctors are lacking smarts.
