My thumb feels 98% better! Thank you all!

Dr Blessey is brilliant with a great bedside manner and the hands of a skilled carpenter. He needs a new picture because the one here is about 15 years old.

Blessy pulled a bullet out of my tibia about a month ago and its already healed substantially, was told by several health professionals that they expected the surgeon (Blessy) to leave the bullet where it was in the bone in order to avoid surgical complications, however, Blessy knew what he was doing and got that sucker out of there. The scar going down my knee is already fading rapidly, no complications and my leg works surprisingly well already (less than a month after getting shot through the side of the knee into the tibia with a 9mm jhp). He was confident enough to do a more difficult procedure in order to save me from chronic pain (taking bullet out instead of leaving it in) and I am immensely appreciative of him. He is skilled and I would easily recommend anyone to go to him because I trust he will do what it takes to help the patient.

We need more Doctors like him ,he has been very compassionate ,if I need Knees replacement he would be the one, he has respect for athletes since he is one himself

Over 5 years ago I fell and broke my left hand and have a small tear in my rotator cuff. Lots of pain night and day. and also very little range. I see Dr Blessy every 6 to 10 months for a shot and within 2 days I am pain free. In the beginning I went to physical therapy and now just excersie at home. I have gained complete range and motion. Now I can enjoy my family and not be preoccupied with pain. I think he is a wonderful doctor. He may not be warm and fussy but he is a good listener and a great doctor. Thank you Dr Blessy

I had Total Hip Replacement with Dr Blessey. I just can't say enough great things about him. He has great bedside manner. He was caring and compassionate throughout my stay. The surgery itself went very well. I was literally pain free the night of surgery. My recovery has been excellent. The physical therapists have all said it is just amazing how well I'm doing and I accredit it all to Dr Blessey.

Absolutely no bedside manners! Was ridiculously rough when injecting my shoulder. Told me to exercise my shoulder that I can hardly even move. I will not go back! I have a bone spur on my achromium that is impenging with my rotator cuff. I've already been told it has to have surgery to correct it. Well he's not the one for me!

I visited Dr. Blessey with hip issues that I’ve had since I was younger. I have an inch difference between my leg lengths which cause me to limp when I walk. As I sat there in tears from the pain the most he basically told me that there was nothing he could do except wear special shoes with a lift. I felt as if he had zero care in the world to figure out what was truly wrong with me. He also did my leg length measurements incorrectly and told me It was 2.5in difference. His bed side manners are non existent. Maybe had I been there from a sports related injury then he would have been more willing to help me. Needless to say, I went for a second opinion which helped me.

I have multiple congenital issues (remediated club feet, elbow dislocations, soft tissue disorder, etc.), so I have had my fair share of orthopedist visits. This was, to date, the worst experience I have had with an orthopedist. Period. I was so disappointed because usually Ocshner is a cut above; I drove from Hammond to see this provider just because he is affiliated with Ocshner and I expected nothing less. I left with no answers, in tears, and feeling like I just completely wasted my $60 copay. Dr. Blessey has ZERO bedside manner, and showed ZERO sympathy or empathy in regards to the issue for which I was visiting. I truly have never had a professional interact with me in that way. He was rude, condescending, and honestly acted like he just didn’t care. I never leave reviews, but I feel like it is necessary this time because I do not wish the experience I had on anyone else. I would avoid this provider if possible.

Ochsner has always been excellent. The staff are very caring and very thorough. I would recommend ochsner to everyone
