Patient reviews for Dr. Murray Orbuch
Dr. Orbuch is extremely knowledgable and caring! He spent a long time with me, and I never felt rushed at any point. Would highly recommend!
Dr. Orbuch is truly my favorite Doctor in the world. He's gone above and beyond for my care, is very patient, and takes the time to educate his patients. I haven't met another doctor with his level of competency, skills, and kindness. I couldn't rate him highly enough. He's the best.
Dr. Orbuch was sympathetic, professional, and straight to the point. I'm extremely grateful for the help he provided. Highly recommended!
The staff members at Dr. Orbuch's office were very friendly, both on the phone and in person. I didn't wait very long to see the doctor and when I did see him he took the time to listen to me and answer all my questions. I'm very happy I went to see him.
he listens, tries to pinpoint the root cause. I have seen him several times in the past 10 months, and he's been pretty "on point" about everything. Appreciated.
Shared all his thinking on what might be causing my symptoms, how he planned to test his hypotheses, and treat the causes - engaging and helpful doctor who answered all my questions well.
he was very knowledgable and addressed all my concerns. I've been dealing with intense stomach pains on and off since 2015 and he's the first doc to acknowledge that this is an actual problem and we've laid out an action plan. I came with recent blood work so he could take a look at it instead of having to do it again.
Best doctor in New York
Would definitely recommend to a friend. He was so so nice and I could feel his eagerness to help. You can tell he cares about his patients and wants to be with them every step of the way with whatever issue they may have.
Great experience at this office. Can fully recommend. Will be back for followup appointments.
I’ve gone to another gastroenterologist who wasn’t very active in trying to figure out what’s going on. Dr. Murray was patient, he listened to everything and did a few tests to check for everything.
Had a good first visit with Dr Orbuch and hope to come here from now on to maintain a healthy regimen.
He actually took my symptoms seriously and didn’t write me off as being dramatic. He is looking for the causes of why I am experiencing these symptoms instead of just labeling me. He is also really nice.
The doctor was great. Simple and clear advice and instructions. Nice guy. (The reception staff could do with a bit of training and a smile wouldn’t hurt either)
He was very nice, made me feel very comfortable and heard. Will definitely be going back.
This was one of the best visits to a doctor's office I ever had. Doctor is very thorough with tests, very nice to you and knows his stuff. Explains clearly the procedures etc...Office is very clean and nicely lit. He also diagnosed me pretty quickly as ultrasound was done on premise. Glad I found him. Going for follow-up soon. AWESOME. Thank you!
I had a great experience so far
I think he's great. He actually listens, which is not always the case with doctors. He took blood himself, fast and painless. He did the EKG, also quick and to the point. His facility includes an inhouse sonogram person, and she was good too. I highly recc Dr. Orbuch.
He is a wonderful compassionate doctor
Wonderful doctor. Explains everything throughly. Lovely bedside manner. Very professional.
This was my first visit and I have to say that I was very impressed by Dr. Orbuch. He was kind, thorough and very informative and I did not have to wait at all. Where other doctors brushed off my distress of getting bloated and having pain after eating certain food, Dr. Orbuch understood and cared and is sending me for further testing. I have no complaints whatsoever. I highly recommend Dr. Orbuch!
Proffessional and attentive. I enjoyed visiting with him very much
Dr. Murray is one in a million. He is kind and compassionate and really wants to get to the bottom of things to help his patients to start feeling better. He has peers all over the city and country and can give you direction in any other area you maybe be having an issue in. I would highly recommend Dr Murray. Thank you for making me feel 1000% better.
Dr. Orbuch is one of the best, nicest doctors I have ever seen, full stop. I'd recommend him to everyone.
Dr. Orbuch was professional and kind. He made me feel at ease and provided me with clear and concrete explanations to all of my questions. He took his time and was very helpful. I would definitely recommend him.
I've been to this doctor before but at a different location from a long time ago. I still had a productive appointment and good experience.
Very professional w/ great patient care
Would highly recommend. Barely waited and was in and out in no time. Doctor was very thorough and helpful.
Dr orbach is awesome. Very thoughtful and always very interested in patients. He has such a strong bed side manner. Highly recommended.
Dr. Orbuch and his staff were great. He is very knowledgeable and personable and explained everything very clearly. He was great at making sure I felt taken care if my problem persisted. I would highly recommend him.
Nice office, helpful receptionist and got in to see the doctor less than 20 minutes I'd say which is fairly quick for a first time patient. Dr. Orbuch has an excellent bedside manner, friendly approachable and knowledgeable. Gave thorough explanations and recommendations for my issues. I'd recommend him.
I've been seeing Dr. O for years and now my entire family and extended family sees him plus a few friends and their families. He is an old school NYC doctor in the best possible way in that he's thoughtful, takes his time and is connected to many other great doctors in the city to help you get fast and helpful referrals.
I had a mixed experience with Dr Orbuch. Wait time was not a problem and his bedside manner was quite good too. However, his ability to explain the next steps caused problems and required follow up visits as there was much confusion. Additionally, some of the medication prescribed was inappropriate (there were better alternatives), which we later both agreed on. I have since terminated the relationship and am now looking for a new doctor.
He's great. He even made a personal phone call to follow up.
The office and Dr. Murray Orbuch were very professional. My only problem was although I had made the appointment with Zocdoc and filled out a bunch of paperwork online ahead of time, the office did not seem to have any of that. Luckily they were still able to see me, but booking an appointment through Zocdoc was a waste of time.
I was referred to Dr Orbuch after my doctor suddenly retired. As a long term IBS sufferer I was worried that a new doctor may not treat me seriously. Dr Orbuch was great, very friendly and sympathetic and immediately suggested some tests and treatments that I had never tried before. He even called me at home over a weekend to see how I was doing after trying a new medicine. I highLy recommend him.
My favorite doctor of all time. Thought I had a GI problem...turns out I was pregnant. haha! I didn't know he could also be my primary doctor. Glad I don't have to see too many docs now. Knows his stuff, great demeanor. Highly recommended!
I am so happy I am working with Dr. Orbuch. He truly cares about his patients and has made sure I've been comfortable throughout the diagnosis process. His bedside manner is amazing, and I wish he was my primary! I highly recommend him to anyone.
He was the best doctor I've had in NYC thus far.
Dr. Murray is fantastic... he is very easy to talk to and is aggressive about trying different tactics for addressing your problems.
Dr. Orbuch is great and very considerate. The only issue was the ~90 minute wait time.
The doctor is very nice and personable and I appreciated that he was very observant, asked a lot of questions and thought holistically about the various problems and ordered a series of tests to investigate further and find the underlying issues. Highly recommend.
It was awesome. He really takes care about your issues and is listening to you. He organized an MRI for me for the very next day. 5 Stars. So glad I found him.
I had high hopes after reading reviews and Dr Orbuch was friendly enough but he didn't seem to be taking me seriously and spent most of the time talking about my travels (being from England) and advising that I should study over here as I never went to University and was 'clearly a very bright young lady'. I found him to be slightly obnoxious and condescending, I was due to have tests done and return but I never did and found another Dr.
Dr. Murray was amazing. He was SO knowledgeable, very understanding and patient and felt like he truly took the time to evaluate my whole person, before trying to nail down the issue at hand. Am so glad to have found him and 100% trust his expertise as a health care provider. ONLY complaint is 1 of his front desk employees was quite rude, and was very impatient when I asked re the wait...after I had been waiting mid day in a very crowded waiting room for over an hour.
I would highly recommend Dr Orbuch as a doctor. He was thoughtful and offered time and insight. Unfortunately, I would strongly advise against making an appointment because of the terrible service of the reception desk. The rudeness at check-in was easy to overlook but having called 3 times for almost a week waiting for a reply on a prescription question, it is discourteous and unacceptable. Even asking, "what should I expect next?", her response was "I don't know". I said "ok, so should I expect a return call from you or dr or do you recommend I call back later or tomorrow?" Her reply again was "I don't know I just take the messages". Still haven't received a call back and now starting from ground zero with a new doctor.
Short wait time, caring and inquisitive doctor, would definitely recommend!
He's an excellent doctor. Very thorough.
Doctor was very profesional. Would highly recommend him to everybody.
Dr. Orbuch is excellent. Very thorough. Asked lots of questions about my medical history. Good humored - didn't brush off my small concerns.
