My primary retired & told me to find a New primary & also an Endochrinologist because my lab kidney values were off. I found a website & read 2 bad reviews about Dr Orr but I also MET two people who had used her & they had no major complaints. Described her as a “Drill Sargent”. Because Covid had just begun & a vaccine was not yet readily available I wanted to avoid Endos working from a hospital office. I Went to her with something minor. But she ignored it &jumped on my type 2 diabetes condition that was NOT the problem & WAS in control. She did/will prescribe the most expensive meds &treatment available whether it’s suitable or not. Ended up with complications from med she prescribed. 5&6A1C’s leaped to 7+. End =massive blood clot=2 emergency room visits & many drs: dermatologist & the following drs/All based in hosp offices=cardiologist/nephrologist/veinologist/vascular specialist & a different endo. Skip this Dr &use her nurse practitioner instead who seems pretty capable.

Very knowledgeable and has my best interest at heart

Very pleased with Dr. Orr. She took her time with me. She thoroughly answered my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Orr

Had an excellent experience. Staff was up and above other experiences with other offices. Dr. Was special and we look forward to working together for years to come Lord willing. Thank you for the time we shared together. Robert Aebi .

The staff was very friendly. Got right in. Dr Orr was very friendly. She seemed very knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and she gave me more information than any endocrinologist I've seen in the past.

Fairly recently, I had my first appointment with Dr. Orr. After seeing some of the reviews on here, I was a bit wary of how my meeting would be. I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Orr and her careful evaluation of my ongoing diabetes management. She took extra time to walk through various trends seen in my blood sugar, and explain issues with my ongoing treatment regimen. It’s been a long time since anybody has taken the time to review such information with me in depth. Additionally, while I am no expert at managing my own care, I do think of myself as motivated. Dr. Orr was able to offer feedback in a professional and appropriate manner, while recognizing the strengths of what I have done right (without the harsh critiques that can be so common in management of chronic illness). I wanted to leave a positive review, after seeing some of the others on here. Of course, everybody has their own experiences, but I felt it was worth reporting a positive one! Thank you Dr. Orr!

0 is a more fitting star! She is so rude and claimed all my symptoms had nothing to do with my issue. Bedside manor is horrendous! I wish I would have read these reviews before seeing her and I will never go back! Getting a second opinion, worst experience ever! Do yourself a favor and find a different provider no clue how she made it through med school and has been practicing this long! 0 is a more fitting star! She is so rude and claimed all my symptoms had nothing to do with my issue. Bedside manor is horrendous! I wish I would have read these reviews before seeing her and I will never go back!

Its sad to see all these negative reviews. I have been a type 1 diabetic for 24 years now and seen my fair share of not so good Endocrinologist providers. Dr. Orr was great!

Dr. Orr takes a serious approach to my healthcare. Has helped me tremendously with diabetes care. She is the best.

I have seen Dr. Orr twice and each time she has denied my symptoms are related to the disease I have! On my first visit she told me "you don't want Cushing's Disease, you could become infertile" as well as denied every symptom I had and said it was all just depression and over eating. Further test results got me seen by a neurosurgeon who told me that becoming infertile isn't a risk for the surgery I required. Upon my second visit with Dr.Orr, post operative, she still denied my symptoms and bragged about missing a Cushing's diagnosis on a previous paitent. Poor manners and even pooerer care. Will not be returning.

She is rude, sarcastic and incompetent. She likes to barge in one breath that she’s board certified and then say that the thyroid has nothing to do with metabolism. She does not listen to patients, ignores symptoms, and has the worst bedside manner of any physician I’ve ever seen. How she stays in practice is beyond me. How she maintains a relationship with the Meritas system is also beyond me. How she is not censured or not under suspension is beyond me.

Poor customer service. I never received a copy of lab test results and it took a week just to speak to a nurse over the phone to follow up. I never received any further follow up information after my second lab test and still no response. Poor communication and lack of attention. I would not recommend this practice if you are paying for service out of pocket. Poor customer service.

Dr. Orr is a highly qualified doctor in both endocrinology and diabetes specialties. She tells it like it is. She is a confident doctor in the fields of her expertise.

Do not go to her, you will be aggravated and treated poorly. She was in the room 10 mins did nothing to review my primary physicians reasons for me taking the meds I am taking. She disregarded my treatment plan, did nothing to warrant 330 dollar bill. When I called to talk to them as to why a bill for that amount was being given for literally no treatment the office staff was rude. My insurance company even tried to call and talk to them and they were rude with the representative. Overall worst experience I have ever had with a physician of any kind.

I was referred to Dr. Orr from a Urologist. I was highly disappointed in Dr. Orr’s approach to diagnosing me. She lacks bedside manner and was not personable at all. She quickly suggested a test that was extremely expensive and came back clean. In the year since visiting Dr. Orr I have been seen by another doctor and gotten a diagnosis. This has only made it more clear just how useless her suggested testing was. To say I was displeased with Dr. Orr’s approach to my care is an understatement.

Dr. Orr did not show up to the office until 9:00 and my appointment was at 8:30. She seemed dismissive of my experience and feelings and told me I was probably misinterpreting information when I brought up concerns. She interrupted me several times and made a lot of assumptions. She does not feel like a very empathetic doctor. I was very persistent with questions and asking for clarification so I was able to learn a few things, but won't be coming back.

Dr. Orr's office was able to get me an appointment same day. She always spends time discussing my health and is very personable and friendly.

If I could leave zero stars I would. First off my appointment was for 8:15 and she didn’t even show up the the building (per a nurse) until after 9am. I was the first patient. She comes in and starts blaming everything on my weight, my ms (of which she clearly knew nothing about!), and my medications. Mostly my weight though. She basically told me I needed to eat less, vigorous exercise, and to join weight watchers (of which she put a lot of emphasis). Like do they pay her to push it on people?! She also, implied heavily that I didn’t “know” myself, as far as my weight and where I have issues, etc. she also said she’d do some tests but really didn’t think it’d show anything and then I’d be back to my neuro (who isn’t even who sent me to her)! Let me just say I know full well I’m overweight and I know where my weaknesses are. Exercise (even gentle) is extremely hard for me because of MS. Walking is my best bet. If anything shows in tests I’ll be taking those results elsewhere!

I would highly recommend Dr. Orr to anyone. Her staff was friendly and helpful each time I visited. Her nurse was exceptional as well. Dr. Orr took her time answering all of my questions, and she also explained things clearly.

I have been a patient of Dr. Orr's for over ten years. She has an excellent understanding of diabetes treatment, and by following her advice I consistently have an a1c of less than 7. As I have aged and retired, she has helped me manage the expenses of prescription coverage. She conducts thorough exams, and patiently answers questions. Janet James, her ARNP, is likewise thorough and patient. If you want long-term success managing your diabetes, Dr Orr is a winner!

I went for endocrine issues related to a brain tumor but she never talked about that at my visits. Very little lab work done for brain tumor issues. But I had a 5.7 A1C (low range of pre-diabetes) and she wanted me on meds, sticking my finger daily, and talking about insulin. Her office is plastered full of advertisements for diabetes medication. Never produced lab work from last visit and I don't think she ever saw them. I got out fast. If you have endocrine issues than diabetes, go elsewhere

I would highly recommend Dr. Orr to anyone. Her staff was friendly and helpful each time I visited. Her nurse was exceptional as well. Dr. Orr took her time answering all of my questions, and soothed my nerves with her kind demeanor. She also explained things clearly. I was worked in the very next day for a procedure, and I assumed would have a long wait for that reason. I was wrong--I was taken back in less than 15 minutes. I was very impressed!

I am not one to review doctors, but my experience with Dr. Orr was so horrific that it seemed like the ethical thing to do. During my appointment, she told me that her staff had been speaking negatively about me. She inaccurately reported my medical history to me. She compared me to other, worse patients, in an attempt to discredit my concern about my symptoms. In the same breath she told me both that she told me both that my issue was not serious, yet suggested surgery as the next step.

March 14 2018 Dr Michelle Orr is an excellent Dr whose main priority is making sure her patients receive the best care. She has a great staff that offers professionalism and sincerity. I have recommended my family and friends to Dr Orr. We’re very pleased with the care and treatment. Thank You so much Dr Orr for your kindness, excellent care and service provided.

We started off a bit rocky, but I can not thank Dr. Orr and Ms. Janet for helping me come so far in just 3 months. Thank you for saving my life! :)

I've seen Dr Orr for 14 years for my hyperthyroid. The last 4 years I've started asking questions about my thyroid (will I be on meds forever, what is the long term goal). Dr Orr never fully answered. I finally saw a new dr in Overland Park. In 30 mins, he answered more questions than Dr Orr ever did. He basically told me it was not recommended to be on meds for 14 years with no long term goal. I will be continuing with new dr & his recommendations. Dr Orr is kind - but don't recommend her.

My son was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and we were referred to go see Dr. Orr. He has been treated exceptionally well by her and all her staff in his visits and they have been very helpful in teaching him about his new lifestyle and diet in a caring, informative, positive way. We are very pleased.

I have been seeing Dr Orr for years for a pituitary issue. I have been on the medicine prescribed by her for at least 3 years. My prescription expired about the time my insurance was cancelled due to getting laid off from work. When I called to see if I could get one prescription for a couple of weeks to a month, until my new insurance was in effect she refused. Her nurse sited legal liability because I had not been into to see her for a year. Here money is more important than patient care.

Cannot recommend this doctor whatsoever except to beware and keep away.

I liked seeing Dr Orr and she was professional and very helpful. Her scheduling/staff up front has not been the easiest to work with. I’ve been asked to reschedule my appointment 2 out of 3 times in a year and each time they are unable reschedule my appointment until 4-6 weeks later. I would understand if I had cancelled the appointments myself but as a provider canceling your patients, the scheduling should be more accommodating. I’ll be seeking care with another provider.

I went to Dr. Orr back in November after a 6 week wait, only to receive any help. Was diagnosed with Hashimotos and went to her as a referral from my primary care. She told me thyroid problems don't make weight gain and told me just to decrease my caloric intake by 500cals/day without even asking me how much I ate in the first place. Very rude and offered no help. Almost cried at one point during the appointment. Will be switching endocrinologists for my next appointment.

I have been a patient of Dr. Orr's since 2006. I was referred to her when my PCP decided that he could no longer help me manage my Type 2 diabetes. She has a very direct style, and she is outstanding at helping me manage medications so that I can more effectively manage the issues that come with diabetes. In recent years she has added a nurse-specialist, Janet, to her practice; Janet is skilled, knowledgeable and works easily with patients who need additional help. Thanks Dr. Orr!

I have to say Dr. Orr was the worst doctor I have ever encountered in my life. Arrogant and rude does not begin to describe her. She refused to listen to my symptoms. Told me my disease wasn't really. Told me I would be fat the rest of my life and be her next diabete patient. My new doc figured out I have an autoimmune disease on top of thyroid disease, HS, & PCOS. I'm now on the right medication & feel amazing. Dr. Allenbrand is a sweet & intelligent doctor. Go see him.

She was very arrogant and very rude. I agree if I could leave a zero star rating I would. I only got to see her once or twice. All other times it was her nurse practitioner who was equally rude. By the end of my last appointment she had me in tears. I was trying to tell her my particular situation but she would not listen. I have now found out (with a new doctor) she was not checking my thyroid for 2 years to see if the thyroid cancer had come back and guess what - it has. Bad Situation

Dr. Orr knows what she is talking about, wants to help you, and is very personable. Staff is friendly and professional.

If I could give 0 stars I would. She based medical advice on two year old blood work. I demanded updated labs, and she refused to run some of the tests. She contradicts herself in a single breath. Please go elsewhere, where the doctor knows what they're talking about!

When her partner, in the office where she used to practice, passed away, my case was transfer to her. I, was of course notified, and I decided to go for a trial visit. If I liked her, I would continue, if not; however, I would go to someone else. I liked her, and I have agreed with everything she has recommended. I have a background of working in the medical field for 22yrs at various different medical facilities, and/or, hospitals. Therefore, I have worked with all types of personalities.

Dr. Orr knew a lot about thyroid, and she made sure I knew how smart she was. What she never once asked, or cared when I brought it up, was how I was feeling. She also did not effectively explain thyroid issues to me. It was more like she was showing off. She also continually said how she didn't THINK that the nodule on my thyroid is anything. I waited 40 minutes to see her, after getting called back 10 minutes before my appointment time, and she spent 10 minutes with me.

One of the most unhelpful doctors. Offensive to my sister who is suffering from an autoimmune disease offering no options for her symptoms and condescending her fatigue while making comments on how her appearance isn't up to par with other patients who have the same disease... If I could give her zero stars I would.
