Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Hip replacement surgery
The team that surrounds Dr Orem is amazingly efficient and skillful. My surgery went exactly as planned and the recovery proceeded ahead of schedule.

Thankful
From beginning to end of my knee replacement surgery Dr. Orem and his team provided clear concise communication. During the decision process he answered all my questions, (no matter how many times I asked them). The communication around the surgical process and follow up was also clear and supportive. The surgery was exactly what was described and the follow up care was great. Dr. Orem and his team continued to be available through out my healing process.

Highly recommend
Loved the previous poster's comment that Dr Orem's eye contact alone could achieve peace in the Middle East. That sort of personality not necessarily expected in a surgeon, but very much appreciated. Yes, and top notch surgical skills, too.

Life Changing
Dr. Orem changed my life! I was in severe pain for over 20 years! Dr. Orem and his staff were friendly, knowledgeable, professional and caring. All my questions were answered with detailed explanations. While terrified of complications......after speaking with Dr. Orem I felt calm, comfortable and confident that surgery would go well.My recovery was relatively pain free and within 3 weeks I could walk without any assisting devices. (Cane, walker, wheelchair). I wish I had found him 20 years ago.

Excellent experience
This is my second replacement surgery with Dr Orem and the experience was consistent with they previous high quality of care. Dr Orem's team has proven to be at the pinnacle of joint replacement surgery. The supporting cast of professionals, both pre and post, complete the outstanding experience - from pre-op check up, through Anesthesia and post-op recovery nursing, to PT and follow-up - each contributed significantly to the process. I have, and would continue, to recommend Dr Orem's team to individuals looking to "reclaim their normal life" with joint replacement.

Amazing surgery!
I had my hip replaced the first time in 1994 when I was 33. It was replaced by dr. Harris at Mass. General hospital. I just receintly had it replaced again on Jan. 13th 2023 by Dr. Orem. I was only in the hospital for one night and the wrap around services with Dr. Orem's team were unbelievable.. I felt very cared for and looked after before and after My procedure! My hip is is great shape and I am no longer in pain! I would recommend Dr. Orem to anyone needing a hip rrplacement! He's the man!
