Dr. Paraskevi Orfanou, MD

Kind , knowledgeable professional

Very smart so friendly beautiful smile give you a positive energy

Dr orfanou is an amazing surgeon . Had my thyroid out and put me at complete ease with it. Would go to her for any surgical procedure.

I was told by my GI doctor to contact Dr. Orfanou regarding an EGD capsule that appears to be stuck. My GI doctor seemed to think it could be removed via laparoscopic surgery. Almost immediately, Dr. Orfanou told me that I probably wouldn’t make it through surgery. She stated it was because I was full of adhesions from two previous surgeries. This was surgery to remove a capsule in my pelvis, not my heart! She offered no other alternatives either. I asked what would happen if we left it alone, and she said it could cause a blockage or perforation if the capsule disintegrated, which would also mean death. No alternatives other than death from a stuck EGD capsule????? And she’s a surgeon????

I've had 2 surgeries performed by Dr. Orfanou. A Gallbladder surgery in 2010 and Inguinal hernia in 2022. She’s an excellent surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Orfanou.

This Dr. Orfanou is a liar. This doctor hasn't any confindence in her own ability as a surgeon. She initially scheduled to perform my surgery in Dec. 2020 and three days before surgery was suppose to happen she said it's too complicated and would could have many complications. So the surgery was cancelled. Weeks later she posted in my file that she told me she wanted me to see her team of oncologist, we she never said a thing to me about that. Don't trust this quack. Also my reviews keep getting deleted. Do yourself a favor find a different doctor.

I think it is interesting that I have posted about our time with Dr. Orfanou, only to have our posts deleted. I can see why after my husband died due to her lack of care. Much like the others who gave a one star .... the difference is they live and my husband does not. She does not even have the decency to have ever contacted me for her negligence.

Terrible bedside manner. She was subbing for my first choice of surgeon without my knowledge. She entered my room, didn't introduce herself, just started talking treatments, then left. She came back an hour later and changed the treatment plan to surgery because an opening in the OR occurred. I refused her services and chose a board certified GI surgeon. I ran into her and her PAs on numerous occasions during my recovery and none of them would even make eye contact with me. I consider mysel

I've had 3 surgeries performed by Dr. Orfanou. A bowel resection with ileostomy. Reversal of the ileostomy and reattachment of the colon. The third procedure for a abdominal hernia. Recovery has been very successful and went just as the Dr. described. Her bedside manner is what i've appreciated the most. She is very caring and understanding and seems to appriciat6e the pain that i was in. I would not hesitate to refer or have additional procedures performed by her.

I was referred to Dr. Orfanou by my primary care physician for analysis and treatment of a lump located near my LH armpit. I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Orfanou. Starting with my initial visit, she was professional, kind, and caring. She answered my questions thoroughly. Dr. Orfanou ordered an ultrasound after which she performed surgery to remove fatty tissue from my chest area. She visited me in the hospital before/after surgery and followed up with how I was healing later on.

Excellent care, answered all of my questions before and after surgery, compassionate and kind

Poor communication, poor care. Surgeon ignored multiple complaints of extremity pain. Ended up going to Beaumont following surgery. Had blood clot and infection. Orfanou didn't even examine me or touch me for follow-up visit. Downplayed extremity pain. Thankfully I chose to go to a different provider who payed attention to my pain.

Very caring, has a genuine concern for patients and obtaining the best outcome. I highly recommend this surgeon.

An amazing surgeon. Very personable, caring and very knowledgable. A true professional and I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon.

Poor bedside manner. Plan to find alternate surgeon.
