Patient Reviews
I absolutely love ORA!! I've been working with Dr Collazo and he's been great. He (and the rest of the team) actually care and listen to me and any issues I have. I feel heard and cared about.
For meeting him for the first time he seemed to be in a hurry.
Dr. Collazo is very personable and professional. He didn't rush through the appointment and took time to explain things well.
Dr was very professional and nice. I felt very comfortable with him.
Dr. Collazo was very personable and made me feel comfortable. He diagnosed my condition and offered several different treatments , allowing me to make my own decision. The staff at Oro were also very nice and helpful.
Dr. Collazo is all around good hearted person. When he is backed up with patients he will take the time to answer your questions. He genuinely cares. I have had steroid injections twice and they have helped tremendously. Thanks doc!
The wait time was too long. I got there early like was instructed too and I waited 2 hours before I got to see dr.
Dr was very knowledgeable and kind. Not in a hurry and made sure all my questions were answered.
Dr Collazo is a great surgeon, very personable, takes time to answer questions and/or concerns. If you are in need for an orthopedist, go see him, I promise that you will be happy you did.
Dr Collazo and his scribe were wonderful. My only complaint is the X-ray tech didn't seem to have much compassion. She asked if I was supposed to put any weight on my left foot. I said I'm not supposed to. She said well that's the only way you're going to avoid surgery so you need to stay off it. But did she have a wheelchair to take me to the X-ray room so I wasn't on my foot? Nope. People that are coming to a doctor's office such as this they're in pain and they're suffering. We're not there for social events. So I would suggest keeping a wheelchair close by for the other people and myself that will need x-rays. I was lucky to have the knee scooter throughout this situation. I appreciate all of you guys help and making me feel better about having a broken foot. You guys are rockstars.
Very friendly and capable staff,Dr. Collazo was very professional and answered any questions I had.
Dr Collazo and his staff are dedicated to providing the best possible care. He takes the time to ensure all of my questions are answered. I highly recommend Dr Collazo and ORA for all of your orthopedic needs.
New patient screening because the Dr I was seeing left the practice. Very prompt and professional. Dr. Introduced himself with a nice handshake and a smile. He took his time reviewing my case and answered any questions I had.
Excellent people skills. He tried everything in his power to help me but worker's comp wouldn't allow him to be professional for that I'm truly grateful!
I found Dr Collazo super friendly and direct. All my questions were answered completely. He gave me the diagnosis and guidance to heal. I agreed with him 100%. I would recommend him and ORA to all my friends and family.
Dr.Collazo was very nice, and took his time to ask me if i had any questions. If i asked a question about what he was doing he answered me and most doctors won't. I will reccomend my friends to see him.
My son has cerebral palsies in a wheelchair and was experiencing some foot pain. And the doctor took the time and explained and made sure if he had any questions. I really appreciate the time he took with him and talk to him, not just me.
Very professional doctor I came their and get the exact treatment plan I wanted it was definitely worth the time and trip I had to make I look forward to keep working with him and greatly appreciate the business with ORA they made me feel right at home and comfortable.
Friendliest, nicest, doctor I've ever been to
This doctor is Very caring very receptive listens to you very clean awesome staff couldn't be more impressed if I tried.

I absolutely enjoyed how thorough and kind this gentleman was. It seemed to be that I was understood right away about my concern. I look forward to any visit I may have in the future!
My previous doctor left ORA and I was pretty nervous to see who I would end up with. Dr. Collazo immediately erased my worries. He walked in the room with a bright cheerful smile and positive energy. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and answered any questions I had. He also had a different technique on how he does cortisone shots for plantar fasciatis and my feet haven't felt this good in a couple years. Highly recommend!!
Great visit. Took time to explain.
I am both thankful and grateful for your excellent all-around service! I appreciated your explanation of my procedure before starting and during executing it with speed and compassion for my nervousness! I will return to you for all my podiatry needs in the future, and will recommend you to all othersπ€

I've been dealing with the after math of an unfortunate motorcycle accident for going on 5 months now. Dr. Collazo and his nurse Lacey have been fabulous to work with - both down to earth, easy to talk to, and actually listen. Same goes for Dr. Clark and his nurse Heather. Both teams have explained things well, listened to my concerns, and worked with me to decide the best plan of action. My insurance has been a struggle and they've all gone above and beyond to get things approved and get us headed in the right direction. They've done their best to make an un-enjoyable situation a little easier to handle. Appreciate them a ton!

Dr. Collazo was very friendly and knowledgeable about my injury. He is treating it non-surgically, so I get to wear a "boot" for the next 4 weeks. I'm very pleased with that. Looking forward to my next appt with the bone healing as it should.
Iβm pain free the day after my appointment with Dr Collazo. Thank you to ORA
I severely broke my ankle, and I couldnβt be more thankful I was referred to ORA. Dr. Collazo was kind, straightforward, and made sure all my questions were answered. He performed my surgery while keeping the tattoos on my leg in mind and made a tough recovery as bearable as it could be. Highly recommend!
