Patient Stories
Dr Orlando is a wonderful practitioner who brings an incredible degree of skill and compassion to his treatment protocols. I was diagnosed with CRPS several months ago, and after running the gamut of nerve blocks, medication and other treatments (more than can be mentioned in a short review), I found his practice. I was curious after reading his many good reviews and the Mayo Clinic study. Over the course of a two-weeks protocol, which I repeated twice, I experienced profound change. After the first session, I experienced ten minutes of my foot feeling "calm": no pain, and a sense that the turbulent waters of CRPS had parted for a brief, but blissful moment. It gave me hope. By my last session, I was walking. I had entered Dr Orlando's practice unable to even gently touch my foot on the ground. Over time, and via his many well-constructed treatments (as well as a healthy dose of his positivity and encouragement along the way), I got better. There is still a way to go, but knowing this therapy is out there—and being administered by such expert, science-based, caring doctors as Dr Orlando—has been life changing. I would highly encourage any CRPS sufferers to give it a go.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Orlando. He is, without a doubt, one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable doctors I have ever met. From my very first appointment, he took the time to truly listen, ask thoughtful questions, and take detailed notes about my condition--something my other doctors failed to do. He is also realistic. I never felt like he was giving me false hope. But he is the most optimistic health practitioner I have ever dealt with. When I inform him about a change in my condition, he refers to his notes, checks timelines, and gives me great, practical advice on how to improve my overall health and healing.
What sets him apart is not just his expertise (especially since my condition is extremely rare), but his genuine concern for his patients. He even follows up with personal calls/texts to check on me and my progress, which is almost unheard of these days. I have always been seen at the time of my appt.... I'm never kept waiting. His office manager, Alex, is kind, conscientious and very helpful. I have always felt like I am priority number one, since my first visit.
Unfortunately, scrambler therapy isn't covered by insurance (criminal, in my opinion), but if you can afford the treatments, they are absolutely worth it. I have seen and felt significant improvement under his care, and for the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm in the hands of someone who truly understands my condition.
If you're looking for a doctor who is kind, attentive, and incredibly skilled, Dr. Orlando is the one. I highly recommend him!

To say that Dr. Orlando is a miracle worker is an understatement. Not only he is one of the nicest guys I have ever known but also he has an incredible talent for what he does.
He has an rare skill to identify what the problem is and to find a solution right away, intuitively to start working on it. He is kind and considerate. He checks to make sure you are ok after each step and shows incredible compassion.
And this is not just my experience.
Everyone I have ever recommended to him has come back raving about him, some in tears about how they saw a change even after the first session!
As someone in the medical field myself, I am always cautious about and watch for what my doctors do and to be honest, extremely weary of chiropractors. I trust Dr. Orlando 100%!
To add to this, Alex, his assistant could not be nicer. She is so responsive, does her best to accommodate an appointment, and is so..... pleasant to deal with.

Calmare therapy dramatically reduced my severe CRPS pain and gave me my life back. I don't understand why every pain doctor in the country doesn't have this machine.

I was diagnosed with CRPS in early 2025 after a foot injury. I learned about Calmare scrambler therapy while researching treatment options. I was lucky to find a provider near my home as there aren’t many that have this machine and have the experience! But I sure got lucky because Dr. Orlando clearly knows what he is doing. He has given me my life back! I showed up in his office on crutches, headed towards a wheelchair. Within a week I was back on my feet and ditched the crutches and after completing my final week of Calmare scrambler therapy I was back to my normal life!
I can’t say enough good things about the care I have received from Dr. Orlando. He makes me feel like I am his only patient, he is punctual and he never rushes me. Alex is really sweet too! I highly recommend Dr. Orlando if you are looking for compassionate care and a doctor who will remember who you are each time! And bonus, free underground parking in LA! Yes please!

By all means, if you or your loved ones and friends suffer chronic intractable pain, you will greatly benefit with treatments administered by Dr. Orlando. Not only would I judge him an expert in applying the Scrambler Therapy treatment, I can personally attest to how compassionate and generous he is during the time in which this was done. And his follow up in closely monitoring the treatment was a welcome addition as well.

Calmare scrambler technology radically improved my mother's quality of life. Chemotherapy had caused such severe peripheral neuropathy that her oncologist stopped her original treatment. My mom had extreme pain in her fingers and numbness in her toes and feet. This compromised her mobility and ability to do even the simplest of tasks on her own. It was a difficult time both physically and mentally for her. She had been taking gabapentin, but the medication had no effect on relieving her pain. Gabapentin made her extremely tired, thus making the situation more difficult.
My family came across Calmare Therapy Los Angeles on the internet as we desperately searched for options. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have stumbled across Dr. Orlando and his practice. My mother's oncologist and other specialists had never heard of Calmare Therapy. Yet, we found many research articles from prominent institutions which reported remarkable benefits on patients suffering from chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Hospitals and research centers are beginning to employ the technology in conjunction with chemotherapy. By alleviating these debilitating side effects, patients can endure chemotherapy longer, thus increasing their chances of survival.
While the treatment is FDA approved, insurance did not cover any of the expenses. However, the results were worth every cent. After about 2 weeks of daily treatments (M-F), my mother had no pain in her fingers and no numbness in her feet and toes. Her situation improved each day during the treatment. It was incredible to witness the progress! It was almost unbelievable to my mom. Plus, there were no side effects.
It has been over a month since her treatment. She has experienced no regression. While back on chemotherapy, my mother has her energy, mobility, and positive spirit back! Calmare Therapy has been life-changing for my mother. Simply amazing!
Dr. Orlando was equally remarkable. He had a genuine concern for my mother's well-being and a calm, professional demeanor. Dr. Orlando took great care of her and was keen on monitoring the progress carefully. He and his assistant, Alex, treated all of us family members well, too. While we were happy when the treatment was over, we did miss our visits with Dr. Orlando! My family and I highly recommend Dr. Orlando and his Calmare Therapy practice.
