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.

Was told what to expect.

January 2024

Dr Sawyer is a compassionate, intelligent and competent provider. He carefully explained what the aim of our meeting was, what would come next and how the results of these visits would aid in any diagnosis or treatment. He put me at ease, even given the very personal and sensitive nature of our conversation. I'd recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

He was ok with our son (listening) in conference call. He allowed time to discuss, review test results & answer questions. Very reassuring & great comfort to us.
