Dr. Lafleur was very informative.
Dr. LaFleur is an outstanding doctor in every respect.
Great
Would recommend this d r to anyone. Think they would not leave there feeling worse than when they came for sure.
I left my previous provider in part because they always seemed in a rush, and I didn't feel they validated the concerns I was having about my vision. Dr Lafleur took time to listen to my concerns, asked follow up questions, and explained his recommendations clearly. Glad I made the switch
Dr Lefleur and his staff were wonderful. Very friendly and open to any questions that I may have had.
My Dr was very polite and was well pleased with how the new was working He had nothing but great things to say overall I said Dr Lafleur did and excellent job explaining things when I left I understand everything!!!!
I had questions after our visit and sent messages via MyChart. He was fast to respond and made sure all my concerns were addressed. Excellent communication!
Dr Lafleur is a great Dr and explains everything well.

The experience with Dr Lafleur is a good one but I don’t like the eye drops. I have refused those drops twice but I’m always forced to get them. I always have a bad reaction after getting them and have to take off work for two days following them. I get a headache, light sensitivity, really red and inflamed eyes and all I can do is rest my eyes, take pain meds & stay in the dark for two days…. It’s actually time for another exam and though I do like Dr Lafleur, I’ve been looking for a different OD outside of Ochsner because of those drops that I obviously can not refuse at this clinic.
Our Response:
