Dr. Orlando is very knowledgeable and caring. Discusses everything with you about all your concerns. He explains all the reasons for having different test done and when and why. As for his scheduling, there is room for improvement, sometimes he runs a late with his appointments. office staff could use a little improvement. Maybe an additional receptionist at the window, so there isn’t a line waiting to check-in, when I was there it got to a point, there were four patients in line waiting to check in.

Dr. Orlando is very thorough but he should schedule a little lighter sometimes he runs a little late with his appointments. His office staff could be a little more cordial.
