- John
Waiting time rarely goes beyond 15 minutes. Was referred to Dr Orig by primary care MD. She found and has, or is, in the process of treating (solving) problems caused by medications and diet not found by other practicing specialists--e.g.--heart, infectious disease, and primary care. I would recommend her to anyone suspecting kidney problems.
