Dr. Murray Orbuch, MD

Dr. Orbuch is an excellent doctor and I would recommend him unconditionally! He really cares and despite all the pressure on doctors today, is in medicine for all the right reason, putting patient care above any financial incentives. Dr. Orbuch has provided outstanding medical care to me and my family on countless occassions. For instance, he has recently provided sound advice to my husband and I when our 4 year old son had a rectal prolapse (even though he does not specialize in pediatrics). Most doctors would never give such medical advice for fear of litigation given the malpractice environment in our country. Most people really don't understand all the financial challenges underlying the medical profession today yet demand so much of their providers. As a finance person, I myself would never recommend that anyone go into medicine for financial reasons. But having a husband and brother as physicians, I can understand why some people choose this profession. These are the people that you want to entrust your care to when you or someone you love are sick. It truly requires dedication and really challenges any other profession in terms of the vigor that is required of these people.

I was referred by my doctor uptown for a intestinal condition that had remained a bit of a mystery for 5 years and was really interfering with my work and social life. I had already gone to 3 other GI's and got no clear answer. My internist sent me to Dr Orbuch who actually spent the time to hear me out and after a bit of an investigation, discovered I had a rare form of colitis that was finally treated. I can't thank him enough.
