“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.

“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.
