“I want to commend Dr. Orchowski at the Lynchburg office. I credit him with saving my life. Last year this time during Covid, I was in such pain that I didn’t know how I could live. I saw Dr. Orchowski and a day later he was doing surgery to remove my broken disc. Shockingly enough, I was well enough 5 hours later to walk from the recovery room and go home. That’s what anyone would call a miracle. I adore this doctor!” – Kathie C.
