"The first thing he told me and my wife was I can fix this and he did. Five years later I'm as good as I was the day of my operation."
— Patient review for Dr. Guy R. Orangio on Vitals"Cocky, indifferent and inept are the 3 words to best describe this butcher of rectums."
— Patient review for Dr. Guy R. Orangio on Vitals"I gave Dr. Vargas a poor rating due to the following 1) did not detect a hemorrhoid during colonoscopy... 2) had a visit with him a month later to confirm the hemorrhoids, then performed a hemorrhoid banding while still on the bed without any consultation."
