Tania Orzynski, MD

Probably my most favorite person in the world considering the procedure gives me anxiety up the yin yang for weeks in advance. Yes, I know most people consider it «no big deal» to have a massive needle inserted into your spine that could result in a number of horrible results, but whatever, I worry about that stuff ever single time I go. Dr. Orzynski is the best. She is caring, never rushed, very understanding that I am incredibly anxious the entire time, and most importantly nails the pain every time. I love her. She is the 3^rd doctor I have seen for this type of procedure, and I hope to never see anyone else. The nurses at Rose are also very caring and professional and I feel well cared for before and after my procedure.

Woohoo for Doctor Tania! Best listener. Best bedside manner. Best pain relief. Ever.
So here’s why you need to research your medical providers carefully. Doctor T works with the Colorado Anesthesia Consultants group. Had a bad experience with one of their docs before, and some of their former (?) doctors’ practices have resulted in some unfavorable notice in the press and the legal system. So normally I wouldn’t be recommending the group. But Dr. Orzynski. .. She’s totally rad ‘n rockin.
I needed a steroid shot in my back for a blown disc (gotta remember not to try to lift small cars to recover dropped money, or other such stupid stuff). Needed /​wanted it bad, and the doc I’d seen before wasn’t available for several days, so I started my research and came upon the good Doctor T. I loved her level of experience, her professional reputation, and the way she talked about the procedure with both my wife and me. Turned out the procedure seems to have been a success, but that’s not the main point. Sometimes these injections work and sometimes they don’t. The main point is that you need to have trust and communication with your medical care providers and Dr. Orzynski’s the best there is for those skills (plus not hurting feels soooo good).
So be careful. It’s dangerous out there. But when you do stupid stuff (and we all do), remember the good doctor Dr. Tania. She’ll become your bdff.
