Kristine C Orion, MD

Total BS! She was demeaning to my spouse (the patient). Sent him home to die with hospice in January (no referral). Said the patient was a poor prognosis and she wouldn't be operating. Cancelled two follow up appts without notice or rescheduling. He is still alive 7 months later, two successful surgeries at Cleveland Clinic, and good outlook. She is arrogant, condescending and worried about her numbers & insurance. How she has made it this far as a critical care physician, I do not know. Lacks bedside manner, empathy, and compassion for the patient and the family.

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. She will likely mess up your surgery. She lied on my medical records commiting fraud. She didn't consult me about my allergies and then fought with me about the allergies. She's negligent. It's just a matter of time until she kills someone by playing doctor.

Five years ago my husband had surgery at the VA and Dr Orion perform the surgery and she did not know what she was doing she did mistake after mistakes. My husband lay dying in the hospital and she left to go home and shower and came back all doll up high heels and all.We were there all day waiting for news never heard a word until late afternoon hours and she never came to talk to me she sent her assistant out to tell me my husband was very sick and critical. Well let me tell everyone something my husband and I walked in the VA and he was fine until she got a hold of him .she didn't do good by my husband and I walked out of that hospital without my husband my bestfriend my world Because Dr kristen's Orion was and is an incompetent doctor......

At one appointment she says one thing, at the next she says something totally different. Most of what she says conflicts with my surgical report. At this point I think a resident did most of my surgery. When she tells me things aboutbmy condition and outcome, I never know what to believe.
