He treats elbow arthroscopy, Tommy John surgery, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, throwing injuries, and treats fractures of the hand, elbow, and wrist. Dr. Orr tries to perform minimally invasive surgeries and use the best in new technology, using arthroscopic technology to visualize, diagnose, and treat problems. Located at four locations throughout New York, the primary RYC location is at 1056 5th Avenue. Dr. Orr is currently an Associate with the practice, and he aspires to be a Partner in a few years.
