May 2022

The people were very friendly in the office. I did not like waiting 45 minutes to see the Doctor once I was taken back. That was very upsetting. There was no apology for my wait once the Doctor came in. Also my visit was more guess-work of what he thought it was and what I really hated was how far out the test was that I needed, a whole month??? For someone dealing with pain this is not good. Probably going to get a second opinion and a more thorough examination elsewhere.

Our Response:
On behalf of Ochsner Health, thank you for the review. We apologize that your recent experience was less than satisfactory, and we'd like to learn more details about it. Please reach out to us at feedback@ochsner.org, including your full name and contact information. We hope to hear from you soon.

I came to visit De. Awad with a presumed condition and he was patient and listened to me and my wife. He helped to figure out what was really wrong with me and helped put me on a course to recovery...which I'm still on bit I'm feeling better than before visiting him.

Dr. Awad is one of the BEST physicians I have ever visited. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and personable. He patiently listened to me discuss my symptoms and concerns before giving his medical opinion. He also showed no contempt when I asked him questions. I did not feel unheard or rushed through my appointment like I have with other physicians. This was an overall amazing first visit and I’m beyond satisfied with the outcomes!

Thank you for your kind words. Our staff's knowledge, compassion, and expertise are what make us a trusted healthcare provider. Have a great day!
