    We have been thankful to have him as part of our child's medical team. From placing a trach 4 years ago to removing it last month he's been a good doctor to have. He's professional, but also personal.

    Dr. Orb is friendly, efficient, and highly knowledgeable. He knows how to communicate well with children (even those who are a bit timid and afraid). He was prompt and wasted no time, but never made me feel rushed. He took the time to answer all my questions. I felt like I made an informed decision about my child's care and am confident in the treatment plan.
