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.

Dr. Nussdorf always puts me at ease. I am constantly concerned about my glaucoma, but I always feel confident that I am getting the best care with him. I especially appreciate his concern about any stressors in my life that may be detrimental to my treatment. It would be nice if all doctors were like him.

Dr. Nussdorf is Very Caring & I trust His opinion

March 2024

Dr.Nussdorff is a credit to his profession and the Ochsner system. Cannot say enough about how he makes an otherwise stressful doctor visit experience much, much easier. The treatment I have received from him and the meds he has me on have resulted In great Improvement In the glaucoma I have had for over 30 years. He Is not my first ophthalmologist at Ochsner, but most definitely the best. His concern for my medical Issues Is complemented by his concern for me as not just a patient, but an Individual. I am 77 years old and have seen many doctors over the years, but never the overall concern for "other things going on In my life." The Ochsner system should recognize him In any way possible, if only as an example for what a really good doctor can be. Would I recommend him and his practice to others??? WITHOUT A DOUBT
