Dr. Atkinson listened to my concerns, reviewed my lab results and provided guidance on next steps.
Nurse/assistant and doctor explained medical situation and further treatment as clearly as possible
My wife and I are very pleased with Dr Atkinson
MD was well informed, caring and professional
Excellent doctor
Dr. Atkinson covered all of my concerns efficiently but thoroughly. He explained my options for treatment very well and included me in the decision making process.
Dr Atkinson was very personable and professional
Excellent! Dr. Atkinson is an excellent provider and I would recommend him to anybody. He genuinely cares about the comfort and well-being of his patients. Thank you!
Dr and nurse was caring doing the visit.
Very fortunate to have found Dr. Atkinson. He has been so supportive helping to manage new medical conditions, which ended up being largely outside the realm of Hematology. Nevertheless, he has consistently gone above and beyond to try to help me and improve my symptoms. I've been feeling my worst lately, and he takes all the time I need to answer questions. The first time I met him, I sobbed in his office and he never made me feel stupid or a burden. He sets a high bar for how all providers should treat their patients. He's absolutely one of the best doctors I've encountered at Ochsner.
Very polite
Instead of frightening, my oncologist made me feel comfortable, thorough and just exceptional!
I'm always praising Oschner's cancer care staff. Dr. Atkinson's care and concern is what keeps me coming back. I think we are a perfect dr. and patient match.
