“Dr.O was highly recommended and ...”

Dr.O was highly recommended and I was highly disappointed. He did not introduce himself and his first comment was to be dismissive and asked me where I got my diagnosis . I told him WellSpan and he went into a diatribe about how it wasn't that and can't believe it was ever mentioned. I explained to him, I'm not a physician so I don't know what to tell you . I explained my symptoms and that some had worsened and he told me it must be from something else . He said my MRI showed zero negative findings but he never showed me the images or any real clinical indicators ( my prior MRI showed reduced CSF dorsal side as well as brain tissue below foramen magnum ). I respect his opinion but his office and P. A. Had told me different for the last year . So suddenly there's nothing wrong with my brain ( umm , what ?? ) and he offered zero explanation and said it must be my neck or inflammation and told meI was not to come back since it was unnecessary.

“Dr Orkoski performed surgery on ...”

Dr Orkoski performed surgery on me in October and since he has followed with me after I got home, even calling me at home more than once. During those calls I never felt rushed, he answered all my questions and allowed me plenty of time to talk. I was very very impressed by this! I think he was the first doctor to call me at home.

“I have had 5 spine and neck surg...”

I have had 5 spine and neck surgeries performed by Dr. Ochalski. He's an amazing physician/surgeon and I will not use anyone else. He's thorough and receptive to your concerns and has always taken the time to answer your questions. He's a #1 doctor.
