Reviews

Dr Orinion is professional efficient and just nice !
I was treated very well at the center and Dr Oorinion did an excellent job with the procedure
Dr Orinion is the best GI doctor. He listens to my concerns/issues then develops a plan of action. He has an awesome bedside manner and personality.
Very friendly employees. I also like that you have a lab on site. My visit went very fast. Two o’clock appointment back in the car at 2:30. Thanks.
I really appreciated Dr Orinion's attention to me and the problems I had been having that other GI doctors didn't stop to listen in the past. And because he really took the time with me, I can honestly say I am feeling better. He is very kind and considerate. I highly recommend him.
Was looking to switch GI physicians because struggling to get GI issues controlled - my first visit was with Dr Orinion. He listened and reviewed the Records and medication list I brought from previous Medical visits and ER trips - He seemed sincerely concerned and treated my urgent issue and said we would touch base in a few days to discuss preventative care. I followed the treatment for two days and finally after 4 weeks finally felt better and hoping I am moving the right direction. I am so glad another RN friend recommended him to me.
Everything went fine and faster than expected
Professional and very nice staff.

Had a good experience with Dr. Opinion. He explained everything that I needed to know about my situation. I was told if I had any problems, to call his office & he would handle it from there. A very friendly doctor who seemed to care about my problem.
No waiting time, kind and listened to my issues.
Caring, expert physician. Explains things clearly. And great staff
I was very pleased with my visit to Dr. Orinoin, the staff were all friendly and professional. I was called back after a very short wait time.
Excellent, took the time to listen to me.
They did an excellent job, after 45 of these procedures this was the best. Feedback from the biopsies was very timely.
