About Dr Dennis Orr Surgeon, Youngstown, Ohio
Surgeon
I am a fellowship-trained laparoscopic surgeon. I completed additional training after my general surgery that allowed me to specialize in minimally invasive surgery, advanced endoscopy, & bariatric surgery. Surgery has been demonstrated in multiple studies to be safer with faster recover compared to traditional open surgery with big incisions.
Educator
I am a professor of surgery at Northeastern Medical University and Ohio University College of Medicine. I actively work with surgery residents and medical students.
Personal life
I am happily married and have 3 beautiful daughters. I also am a volunteer wrestling coach with the Canfield high school wrestling team. I was an All-American wrestler for Northwestern College, placing 3rd in the NAIA National wrestling tournament. I enjoy hunting, downhill skiing, rock climbing, dancing, cooking, and attending my daughters dance competitions.

I believe in providing the best quality care to my patients. To me, this means doing the best quality surgery in the least invasive way. It also means connecting with my patients on an emotional level to build a supportive relationship. Finally, I want to encourage my patients to have faith in God that will provide them with a peace that will allow them to walk through the storms in life.
