Always there to care
I have working in Law Enforcement for more than 30 years and with that comes a lot of wear and tear on my body, but even more so on my knees. Dr. Orlando has been my orthopedist for the last several years and through treatment and a minor meniscus surgery, I feel like I have the knees of a young man again. From the time I started seeing him, Dr. Orlando always made me feel relaxed and comfortable. He always took the extra time to not only explain his plan of treatment but to explain specifically what my issues were and how I got to the point I was. When it ultimately came time that I needed surgery, it was because we had exhausted all other options. It was clear to me from the beginning that; although, Dr. Orlando is a surgeon, he was not “cut happy.” He explained in the beginning that surgery was always an option, but there were non-surgical treatments that could be explored first. Dr. Orlando educated me to those options and left the decision entirely to me. Following my surgery, Dr. Orlando had me back to work within a weeks’ time and I have been pain free since then. Dr. Orlando and his staff were so well versed in handling my worker’s compensation paperwork, I was able to get treatments in a very quick time frame, which help speed my recovery and return to work with very minimal lost time.
Although I became a patient because of my work-related injuries, I was so impressed with Dr. Orlando’s manner of treatment that both of my children also became his patients because of their sports related injuries.
Thank you Dr. Orlando! Although you’ve relocated, I will make the drive in the event I ever need your help.
