June 2023

This visit was one of the best experiences I have ever had for medical treatment. Having the dual departments urology and gynecology in one visit, with the collaboration between them made me feel that I was getting the best medical treatment. I was happy that I had two exams at the same time, instead of waiting for a visit without collaboration between the two. The doctors showed genuine concern. They thoroughly explained everything about my condition and possible treatments. They did not rush and took time to listen to me, and they answered all of my questions. Honestly, I would give them a higher rating if I could. This dual collaboration was genius.

The doctor explained my condition to me and showed me the CT scan on the computer. I understood what she was saying and felt comforted by her remarks.

Very good personal/professional experience.

Dr. Jennifer is awesome.

Dr. Paruch is absolutely amazing there is a little bit of a wait for a reason. She is thorough, caring and takes her time to really understand what is going on. She will run what test are truly needed and doesn’t just jump in to surgery. She’ll try anything else possible first. Highly recommended and I always feel like I am being heard which is so important nowadays. And not just her, the whole staff really listens and calls back and answers emails. It’s hard to find doctors like her, and a few others, I found at Ochsner. Thanks .
