PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER

Dr Orb is the best ENT that we have worked with. He can do an assessment of the inner ear on an annoyed, hungry, sleepy, strong, one year old while staying calm, and informing me fully on the next steps and giving explanations of his care. He takes the time to really listen to what I say, and even laughs at my jokes. We really appreciate him being a doctor! He tells you all the information you need, and you will never get home and say oh I should have asked him xyz.

PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER

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.
