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.

Thank you Dr. Wayne for just being an amazing pediatrician and is making this motherhood being such a breeze. As you know, my spouse is always out of town, so you reassure me and just let me know if there's anything I want to talk about or curious about or paranoid about as a first time mom that you're here.

February 2024

Dr. Wayne was so great with my daughter. He was kind, patient, caring, and compassionate. He greeted her by kneeling down and meeting her at eye level when introducing himself. He sang a song that she liked to ease her anxiety. He explained each tool that he used and asked her if she wanted to hold it. We did not feel rushed and he was not dismissive of any of my concerns. His bedside manner was amazing. He is an example of what all physicians, especially in the pediatric field, should aspire to be.

Dr. Wayne is really good! He's so gentle & his demeanor doesn't scare my young child. His strep test (which isn't comfortable) was no big deal because he made my son feel so comfortable!

If all pediatric professionals treated everyone the way we were treated at our visits with this doctor, we would be well on our way to a better society.

Dr Wayne did an unbelievable job at explaining his recommendations but ultimately letting me make the decision for my baby!

Dr. Wayne has always been gentle, patient, and amazing with my son. This is very important as he has autism and is usually very antsy at the doctor!

October 2023

Dr. Wayne is the absolute best, his bedside manner is so gentle, he listens to ask if my million new mom questions and answers them all with detail and patience

October 2023

It was our first time seeing Dr Wayne & we were VERY IMPRESSED. His "bedside manner" with our toddler was phenomenal. He was also super informative to first time parents navigating their child being sick for the first time. Would consider using him as our full-time pediatrician.

August 2023

I recommend Dr. Wayne to all of my friends with kids. He's an excellent pediatrician. He always makes my kids feel comfortable, he keeps me informed without being overall alarmist, and he empowers me with information I need to care for my kids.
