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.
Very patient with my concerns and questions.
Dr. Manuel Vargas is absolutely awesome! Caring! Smart! Listener.

Dr. Vargas is always attentive, empathetic, & shows me that he truly cares about my health. He makes sure to provide me with answers to all of my questions and tries his best to find treatments that will help me alleviate my pain and have some sort of normalcy in my life.
