I have been a patient of Dr. Orlando's for over 6 months now, & every step of the way, throughout my injury process, Dr. Orlando & his staff were incredibly informational & helpful. Helping me navigate my way back to work with any questions or concerns I had. I ended up needing surgery from Dr. Orlando, & the whole process was absolutely comforting and informative. I am now recovering & couldn't be happier or more pleased with the professionalism, comforting, & informative way of Dr. Orlando & his staff. He is an amazing & personable physician that truly cares for his patients.
Joe McLaughlin

We have been patients of Dr. Orlando for eight years now. He is an excellent doctor and surgeon who has helped all three of our children with their various sports injuries. He is kind, courteous, and never in a rush. He allows his patients to make the final decision about surgery. Great doctor, great facility.

I was in extreme pain the first time I saw Doctor Orlando-I could barely walk, I received an injection that cleared 80% of my pain and the next few days I was 100% better. He has told me I will eventually need surgery on my knee as it is really bone on bone. He is not pushing me to have surgery. He is excellent, very knowledgeable and caring.
