It's interesting that many reviews state that Dr. Orchowsi has a good bedside manner but I felt completely opposite. I felt that my appt was rushed, he appeared to have an attitude and didn't listen to me. Maybe, he was having a bad day; everyone has them.

Had surgery for my spinal stenosis and C7 corpectomy in May and am 2 month’s post surgery with no pain. Dr. Orchowski is a man of few words but let’s you know exactly what to expect. Very happy with him and will use him for lower back surgery in 2023!

Dr. Orchowski made a huge difference in my life with my spinal fusion surgery following a shattered disc, I have been able to resume my every day life. I owe so many things to his excellent care, and can’t say enough how well I have recovered from such an ordeal.

Dr. Orchowski is an excellent back surgeon. He fixed my lumbar spine with a laminectomy and multilevel fusion. After the 1st few weeks post surgery- no pain no flexibility issues. Not a man of many words but explains everything you need to know concisely with compassion
