Dr. Oruwari is kind and compassionate. She takes time to answer your questions. She came highly recommended from my OB/GYN. After my recent meeting with her earlier this week and my procedure today I completely agree. Everything is good and there is minimal pain (for my minor procedure). I would HIGHLY recommend her to other patients.

I am thrilled to be a patient if Dr. Oruwari! I had many questions and she took all of the necessary time to inform and explain all of my options.. THAT IS A RARE PHYSICIAN WHO WILL DO SUCH THESE DAYS... and for that my family and I are deeply thankful. I feel so pleased with this physician. I have put my life in her hands!

Met Oruwari (has a very strong accent) for consultation. She was ONLY interested in a "radical" procedure and was irritated by (a) a patient who'd already done research (b) a patient who wanted a less invasive procedure (3) I've never met such an arrogant physician

This doctor saved my life!! Once I was diagnosed with Invasive Breast Cancer in my right breast, I was able to get in and see her right away. She spent time explaining my options to me and called me to give me the results of my Breast MRI. I told her I was ready to move forward with my surgery, she had her nurse to schedule my surgrey along with the plastic surgery schedule and together they removed my cancer. Today I am cancer-free!! I am so grateful to Dr. Ouriwari for her professionalism, her knowledge, and her allowing me to make the decision on how I wanted to proceed with her recommendation. She spend a considerable amount of time answering my questions and making me & my family feel at ease the day of surgery and during my consultation. Thank you Dr. Ouriwari and your wonderful team! God bless you!
