Ochsner Patient Verified Reviews

To obtain patient ratings and comments, we partner with Press Ganey, an independent patient satisfaction company that works with more than 26,000 healthcare organizations to improve the patient experience. These patient verified ratings are based on the “likelihood to recommend” physician scores on the nationally developed Medical Practice Survey. Actual top box results for this question are translated to a 1-5 scale, and the star scores are measured on that scale, with 5 being the best score.

Absolutely wonderful experience Cerniglia. We were so nervous and he explained the procedure in detail, the "Why" behind waiting, and was very patient with our questions. You could tell he wanted the best outcome for every patient of his.

I have already recommended Dr. Cerniglia to a friend for treatment of undescended testis.

He talked me through everything multiple times, communication was great. Very caring. The best doctor I've ever come across. 10/10.

December 2023

I'm so appreciative of Dr. Frank. Went to multiple doctors over a period of many months and no one could diagnose my son's problem. Some even brushed us off as normal growing pains. But Dr. Frank took the time to do a thorough examination and not only diagnose the problem but also corrected it. My son is healthy and completely pain free. Can't thank you enough

Dr. Frank Cerniglia Jr. explained things thoroughly and reassured us. He listened carefully and left decisions up to us for care.
