The Ochsner Department of Surgery is regarded as one of the top surgery departments in the United States, providing the latest in high- tech, advanced surgical care while remaining committed to providing an exceptional patient experience.
Dr. Alton Ochsner, our founder and namesake, was a giant in American surgery. One of the first to link cigarette smoking to lung cancer, he dedicated his life not only to curing disease but also to helping patients return to full and productive lives. This rich legacy of discovery, innovation and patient care continues today.
Our surgeons and their teams constantly develop new surgical techniques to help patients return more quickly to normal life activities. Our surgical expertise, our participation in clinical trials and our dedication to an unparalleled patient experience brought patients from every state and 90 different countries to seek care at Ochsner last year.
We are proud to serve the world, but it is integral to our mission to provide the highest quality of care to our community and neighbors. In the pages that follow, I am happy to share outcomes for some of the exciting services provided by our surgical teams.
