    Very sociable, friendly to the patient. When speaking to the patient he made him feel at ease and important. All statements or information were followed with "do you have any questions". If we had questions he listened and if he couldn't answer the question immediately he followed up. He makes the visit enjoyable.

    I love that Dr. Orb is gentle, kind, and thorough. Definitely willing to collaborate on care rather than just dole out a treatment regimen. I really appreciated how much he listened. I can tell he makes thorough notes and reviews them because he always remembered the specific concerns I had and problems we faced.
