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.

Kristina Marchand is the best practitioner I've seen in the Oschner system. She's clearly experienced and knowledgeable but what sets her apart is her honesty and forthright approach to communicating the nuances of female pelvic health overall and integrating my personal experience and clinical symptoms into a larger picture I can understand. Dealing with urogynecological symptoms that change and come and go can be confusing and frustrating and scary even when from a clinical perspective they might be considered mild on the spectrum of disorders and severitybut KM respects you as an individual patient and addresses your concerns with solutions, guidance, and support. I hope someday urogynecology and pelvic floor specialists are included in yearly female checkups after giving birth.
Kristina was very patient with me. Took time to explain proper procedure.
