Bellingham Urology Group

I liked Dr. Orton and wished he hadn’t left VCU. Anyway, I went with his option for the robotic removal of my prostate due to cancer 3.5 years ago. All is well and things are working again just like he told me they would. He asked me to be patient which I really wasn’t but his staff advised me...

Dr. Pettit and his staff are very professional, thorough and kind. I recommend their services to anyone who needs them. Brian from Bellingham

Extremely courteous and professional. Office staff were friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend

Overall a shockingly unsatisfactory experience. I might as well have been a corpse for how poorly he interacted with me. After one visit, walked out and was committed to never going back to him. Poor listener, perfunctory, sour.

Dr. Petitt is not only professional and experienced in his field of work but also very humorous. He makes every visit fun and makes sure you leave with the care you need - a smile on your face and a better body. I highly recommend him!!

I moved to California and only wish I could find such an excellent urologist!

Dr. Pettit patiently explained my options for dealing with BPH. He offered one of several procedures and with his concurrence I elected to have the TURP. Other than the indignity of the procedure it went just fine. I had absolutely no pain. The catheter was just a nuisance but gone after three days....

I am a wife of one of Dr Orton's patient. My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer and Dr Orton skillfully led us through the entire ordeal. He was excellent. He provided the options and gave his best advice on the pros and cons of each decision. He answered all of our questions patiently and...

Your new office employee Cheryl is extremely RUDE!! If I did not like Dr. Orrin so much I would leave this practice. The girl that worked the front desk before was amazing, bring her back and fire Cheryl..

hello, i recently saw Dr. Orton twice in a two-week period for kidney stones; i had two different procedures done (one internal-one external). i cannot say enough pleasant things about Dr. Orton and his staff. i had been suffering for some time with a 4 mm stone in my ureter and upon my initial...

Dr. John Pettit and staff are knowledgeable, helpful and provided excellent care and recommendations to prevent future kidney stones

Very caring surgeon who places the care of his patients very high on the ladder. Has an excellent reputation among the hospital staff as well. His PA's and staff also share the same level of patient comfort and care as does Dr. Orton. Would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone...

Very nice. Took plenty of time and answered all my questions. Was quite reassuring.

If you are in need of a Urologist / Surgeon for Prostate Cancer issues, I highly recommend Dr. Orton. Seven years ago I had Robotic Surgery in Hawaii for Prostate Cancer and five years later my PSA started rising again. His advice for treatment with my recurrent Prostate Cancer has proved to be...

Dr. Pettit is very knowledgeable. Yes I would recommend him.

Dr.Pettit is a very good guy, But his staff from the receptionist to the scheduler are very the best friendly courteous,totally over the top in helping me. Without them there won't be a urology group,I hope the the doctor's appreciate them as much as I appreciated there help. thank you

I have had prostate issues for years. Dr Orton has been thorough and conscientious in working with me. His staff has been extraordinarily pleasant to work with. They have been friendly, good humored (particularly important when doing some of the things we have been doing), competent and helpful. ...

This is was first visit with Dr. Pettit. His staff was friendly and welcoming, the waiting room was clean, comfortable and not over-crowded. Dr. Pettit was friendly and professional, took an appropriate amount of time to discuss my medical history and the surgery I was inquiring about.

want to express my sincere gratitude for Dr. John Pettit and his professionalism, expertise and high level of patient care. We found Dr. Peptit on the Internet, following the death of our daughter. Both of us were wishful that the reversal would make it possible to have a child again after a...

Dr. Orton performed a vasectomy on me. The procedure was quick, painless, and successful. I have already recommended Dr. Orton to several friends interested in this procedure. The entire procedure from scheduling to receiving my results was a very smooth process. I highly recommend Dr. Orton and...

I had my 3 week old son circumcised at Bellingham Urology Group. Dr. Pettit was amazing. He was knowledgeable and very professional. The procedure took less than 20 minutes and my son almost slept through the whole thing! Dr. Pettit and his assistant explained everything and told us exactly what...

Dr Pettit and his staff are true professionals. I will recommend Dr Pettit to all my friends and family. Thank you for the great care.

Dr. Orton is very good at explaining urology issues and making care recommendations that are clearly communicated to patients.

Fast, friendly, professional and discreet...these were my first and lasting impressions at this well run office. The facility itself is very modern, comfortable and clean. I especially liked the "Magazine Wall", it was like the public library, so many magazines carefully alphabetized! The...

I think Dr Orton is a spectacular doctor. He became my surgeon when the tumor in my prostate gland advanced and needed to be removed. Dr. Orton is a very good communicator. He explained the robotic surgery, the probable outcomes and what my recovery would be like. This was the first major...

Highly likely, Dr Orton was very professional and answered all my questions.

had good experience.was very informative about problem. outlined procedures needed and scheduled them.

A pleasure to have him as my doctor. I made the decision after my first visit. He is very impressive and did an outstanding job with my surgery (robotic laparoscopic prostatectomy).

Good medically, but not so much in listening. Insisted my records showed correct pharmacy, yet Rx still went to wrong one .

Dr. Pettit is professional, courteous, attentive, and very competent. I always get my questions answered and he explains my conditions and treatments completely. The staff is very efficient, friendly and professional and very helpful. I've been going to Dr. Pettit for several years and I would never...

I was very impressed with the friendliness of the front office staff. I was stuck in traffic and when I called, I was greeted by my first name and told not to worry. I arrived to a nice welcome by the front office staff. The nurse who checked my vitals was equally as nice and made me feel...

I am happy with the service Dr. Orton provides, and wood recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Pettit is a very attentive and widely knowledgeable doctor. I appreciated his abilitly to think outside the box; while being very real about my prolapse condition. I would recommend him to anyone I care about for any urology problems. The other thing I really liked about him is that I felt heard...

I visited with Dr Pettit today for the first time. The staff was terrific -- very friendly and efficient. Dr Pettit is a good guy, easy to talk to, and seems to be a good listener. He was very interested in what I had to say.

My experience from start to finish with Dr. Orten and his staff has been warm, comfortable and professional. Dr. Orten made sure all of my questions and concerns were answered before my procedure, and checked in on me daily at the hospital during my recovery. His staff are great communicators and...

FIRST CALLS IN EVERY RESPECT!

Very professional but kind. Makes an Alpha male comfortable with his body and proplems.

Dr. Orton is by far a very caring and concerned Physician. I could not have been referred to a nicer and great person/physician. He has helped me through a very stressful situation and with friends telling me I should consult in Seattle Washington I couldn't disagree more. Dr. Roger Scharf my...

I had a consultation and then procedure with Dr. Orton. He was great to work with and I recommend him and his staff. Professional and a nice office.

Having recently being verified of my prostate cancer, I knew I was in "uncharted waters" but was told not to worry as I was being sent to Bellingham Urology Group PLLC, and to see Dr. Vernon Orton II who my GP highly recommended. I gave high regard with my first impression of Dr. Orton and found him...

Dr. Pettit is very straight forward and to the point. He will tell you how it is and is up front and honest. Some may say is bedside manner is a little on the harsh side but they are most likely just too sensitive. I would rather my doctor tell me the truth and be brutally honest than have them...

I've seen both Dr Pettit and Dr Orton and they are both friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend either one. The staff is also very friendly and outgoing.

I was referred to John from my primary care doctor about a year and a half ago. During my appointments the staff hustles around in a finely tuned, professional, and most obvious to me, friendly manner. These observations of mine have been so consistent that I now look forward to my visits. As for...

If you want caring and compassion from your doctor, then avoid Dr. Orton. He is too young and inexperienced enough to understand that he should listen to his patients and work hard to make them feel better. Rather, he has a chronically cocky and overconfident attitude which allows him to easily...

Great staff of professionals in office who take the time to care for and instruct the patient and are available by phone. Dr. Pettit did the TURP procedure on me and I can be the poster boy. Immediate relief, no pain, no discomfort and virtually back to normal immediately. Haven't peed like a...

Dr Pettit has always been caring and concerned about my issues. He discusses problems with me and helps me on my decisions that bring the best results for me. I never feel rushed when he is with me during my appointment.

Had TUMT procedure September, 2016. Two months later all was well. I did considerable research on TUMT and other options, and had heard Dr. Pettit's presentation a year earlier. I was still apprehensive, but Dr. Pettit had a reassuring command of my prostate situation and explained the alternatives...

I find Dr. Pettit and his staff, from the friendly receptionist to cheerful nurses being a great office to use. Dr. Pettie is informative and non aggressive in nature. All procedures to be done in the most comfortable manor.

I would recommend Dr. Pettit to others. He has a broad knowledge of urological matters.

He and his staff were thorough, offered options on treatments, and really listened to my input and concerns.

I have been one of Dr. Pettit's patients for a few years. Dr. Pettit and his staff have treated me with respect, understanding and competence.

I feel Dr. Pettit has provided excellent care for me. He listens to my health problems and always makes me feel that he is concerned about my well being. His staff is well trained and considerate. I have been going to Dr.Pettit for many years and am very grateful for his care.

Have known Dr Pettit for many, many years, and he is the most thorough doctor in his field in Bellingham. He is very skilled, very up-to-date and pays attention to his patients. He is a very tall man, but a gentle giant, and his shyness may be misinterpreted as aloofness, but he is kind, cares about...

I am United States Veteran and I have had a number of surgeries. I was a clinical therapist for over 20 years, and even I was apprehensive in speaking with Dr. Pettit concerning my medical condition. But Dr. Pettit "broke ice", and before I knew it we went in depth of my medical condition. I...

I ended up in the hospital due to his neglect.

As a fellow physician, I find it difficult to not ask questions about something. It's a collegial activity, but can sometimes be misinterpreted as a challenge to my doctor's knowledge. So, it was extremely nice to have Dr. Petitt's reassurance that he did not take my questions as such. And...

This doctor may seem cool and detached at first but after I had a procedure done for my prostate (I'm 67) he got really quite warm and encouraging. It may depend on which mode his mind is in. As a diagnostician perhaps he is all analytical (good!) but when discussing the aftermath and further care...

Went in for Vasectomy completely nervous. Very professional and very very quick. Answered all my questions and the whole staff was very helpful.

He definitely has the best reading material in the waiting room in Whatcom County. Not only a huge selection, but also up to date materials. This speaks well of the man. Now if we are talking about the medical side of things, I think he gave me a very comfortable feeling for going forward with...

I recently had the misfortune to develop a kidney stone! Worst pain of my life but thankfully Dr. Pettit was the good fortune in the story. From the office visit to the required removal procedure I was treated with respect and kindness and thank all for their professional manners.

Knowledgable, efficient, with a straightforward, no BS approach. Explains things clearly and understandably. Staff are helpful, friendly and cheerful.

Short visit and to the point. On time. and now we are waiting!!!!??!!!!!

No complaints, fine treatment as far as I can tell. I did not see him today but the young lady at the front desk today was very pleasant. I see that I have 377 characters remaining, enough for a short novel not up to it at present. Respectfully: F. Noel Pfundt

A great doctor. Have seeing him for years and I like Him

I have had ALL of my surgeries and procedures for testicular, prostate and kidney cancer performed by Dr. Pettit. He and his staff have been amazing !! I will go to no one else. The best , professional and prompt care from everyone.

Was a bit abrupt in the exam room; seemed to be in a hurry. Could have been due to end-of-day appointment slot. Support staff was wonderful -- Nancy in particular stands out. I do appreciate being seen on very short notice.

I have been a patient for over 15 years and feel comfortable going to his Office.

Excellent results, friendly capable staff. The waiting room has too many cinflicting visual and auditory inputs.

First time patient. I would recommend him to all

I have seen Dr Pettit for four years, just annual male checkups. Can't comment on his surgical prowess (thank goodness) but I can comment on his demeanor and ability and willingness to explain his exams and findings to me. I am 61 and have lived all over the US, have had cancer as well as 10...

Friendly staff and communicates instructions well. I have been to the doctor for two surgeries , and both went well.

Very Friendly, understanding, great personality as an office. They educate they remind you of your scheduled appointments. They make you feel like family.

Dr. Pettit was very professional, performing my procedure quickly and efficiently. When I left the office I felt like I had picked the right man for the job.

Dr. Pettit is an amazing doctor. He really took the time to listen to the root of my problem. I saw another urologist before i saw him (through a different company) and he hardly took the time to listen to my current symptoms and he didn't even take any tests or anything! Dr. Pettit listened to my...

Dr. Pettit is very professional and straight forward with you.

I had a routine vasectomy from Dr. Pettit. Can't believe how quick and painless it was. His minimally invasive no scalpel technique is great, I was in and out in approx. 15 minutes. Easy recovery, 2 days of mild ache but taken care of by ibuprofen. I'd heard some scary stories from other guys...

Reassuring manner. Good explanation of prostate biopsy. Procedure went smoothly and surprisingly comfortable.

The office staff was very friendly and professional. From the moment I entered the office I was treated like a VIP.

Very candid and accurate assessment of my prostate condition. He made me feel completely confident that I am going to get the best possible diagnosis and care that I need to be healthy and greatly reduce my stress about my elevated PSA. Also, the digital prostate exam was completely painless! ...

Upon emergency referral from my general MD, Dr. Pettit worked me into his already busy schedule and performed a minor surgical procedure within an hour of my initial office visit. He was both exceptionally thorough and expert in his diagnosis and procedure. He explained the health concern and the...
