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. Ortiz is phenomenal. You can tell she cares for her patients and always listens to my concerns.
We have had multiple appointments from an emergency room visit. Dr. Ortiz utilized her skills to keep my child's asthma well controlled. Every follow up, she was very attentive . She has equipped myself, my child's daycare with the knowledge on how to prevent another exacerbation.
Dr. Miriam explains well all the doubts we have and always attends us in a friendly way
Dr. Ortiz listened, assessed my child and listened to my concerns. After we left the appointment, Dr. Ortiz called with my child's test result, informed me the medication he needed would not get filled on time at our primary pharmacy. Dr. Ortiz offered to send the prescription to my secondary pharmacy which stayed opened later.
The doctor was very thorough. She did answer all questions and waited to help resolve my issue at checkout.
She was very thorough and explained the procedures and decisions behind the emergency calls she had to make.
Dr Ortiz is the best seriously. Best pediatrician around. Cares for your child as if they were her own.
The only reason I'd consider this facility is because of Dr. Ortiz. She's passionate about helping patients.
Dr. Ortiz is always very thorough and professional. She remembers to ask and check about past issues (previous speech delay, etc) to make sure things are still going well. She offers great explanations and advice and how to proceed. She's very kind to my son and makes us all feel comfortable.
Dr. Ortiz is always great. We will stick with her as long as we possibly can.
Doctor Ortiz was extremely rushed. Seemed annoyed that I asked for a physical with the wellness check (this was the reason for our visit).
Doctor was very kind and efficient
