Very thorough exam and good advice!

I am pleased with the Orthopedic doctor that I am currently under. Dr Peter Blessey is truly a blessing😀

Dr. Blessey is an excellent doctor. I had surgery for tennis elbow years ago and have had no issues since. I’ve also had cortisone injections for various issues, each with no problems.

Dr. Blessey has done partial replacements on my knees and replacements of both hips. He is very thorough, thoughtful, knowledgeable and keeps up with the latest surgical techniques. He is also personable with a good sense of humor. He gives you your options and outcomes and lets you decide. Can't recommend him enough.

Dr. Blessey is very knowledgeable in his profession. I'm pleased with the outcome of my results.

Very kind and caring , no long wait times.

Very professional and responsive to my questions and concerns. Thanks

Ochsner Orthopedics is the best. Not only do I get care, but I receive it from 4 specialists fully dedicated with a streamlined billings system to maximize margins. My child is being treated for a fractured knuckle and we had our 3rd visit today. We arrived pre-registered 15 minutes prior to our appointment as required. After checking in at the Kiosk, birthdays were re-verified despite my on-line booking and QRC code which were not used. We were then directed upstairs where we lounged about for 20 minutes past our appointment time (35 minutes in total). We were then whisked to a windowless room and told to wait. Specialist 1 came and removed his cast (ala You are the Weakest Link "BANK!"). My child went to the rest room to wash his stinky hand that had been in a cast the last two weeks. Specialist 2 came to take an X-Ray ("BANK!"). Upon his return, Specialist 1 popped in and did some computer stuff to pull up X-Rays ("BANK!"). Our PA examined the healing bone and good news, we are on plan and able to switch to removable brace. ("BANK!"). After some advice and therapy instructions (basically make a gentle fist to stretch the knuckles twice a day for 4 sets of 20 fist stretches), we were sent specialist 4 for fitting of the brace. I was politely challenged on my insurance again and told that 80% of the brace would be covered by my insurance (top of the line CIGNA) and 20% was for me. I smartly checked Amazon after glancing at the box and found that I could purchase and deliver tomorrow for under $27 USD. I was informed that the cost would be $30 USD. I asked if that was the full amount and if I only had to pay $6 USD. I was informed that the $30 USD was my 20% co-pay. I then used this exercise with my teen to test his math. X*20% = 30 (solve for X). He got the answer right at $150 USD. Specialist 4 asked if I still wanted the brace. I replied, "Of course, I insist to pay full insurance from my pay check to CIGNA then be charged 150 USD for a 27 USD brace and have my co-pay at 30 USD. CIGNA needs to eat too!" She then swiftly took my visa card and charged me 30 USD after fitting the sleeve. A fifth specialist delivered a paper with my next appointment in 2 weeks. The care is amazing. My only suggestion is to consider changing suppliers for these braces to me. I would only charge 75 USD per brace, which would be a 50% savings to Ochsner, CIGNA and future brace buyers.
