The wait wasn't long for a Saturday night. Cleanliness is a low rating because there was blood droppings on the floor & needle cap on the counter top in the room we were put in. My husband and I had our 8 year old son with us. Also, one of the electrical panels were not sealed to the wall it was hanging off. Very dangerous. Great staff, it's just the environment was not clean.

I had to bring my teenager to the ER for multiple symptoms she was experiencing. I found the staff to be very kind and helpful. The nurses really seemed to care, and the doctor made sure we knew all the results of the tests they ran and what we needed to do after leaving. The waiting time was minimal, and her care team was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this hospital.

My experience at Chabert 's which is ran by Ochsners, was as good as can be expected. I was there for a few days before I was transferred to Ochsners on Jefferson. They were on top and in front of my condition until I was transferred. Also my post care clinic visits were always professional, visits of excellent quality, fast, and timely.

I don’t know about other departments in the hospital , but in orthopedic the wait for the doctor to come in the room was to long, an hour waiting in the room was just wrong there was not even a hand full of patients there.

I had an emergency visit for a hand laceration and my experience was one to remember. The staff in the ER handled my case with dignity and professionalism all the way from Heather taking personal info to the nurses and doctor Nick handling the actual injury with care and precision. Although I hope to never have another emergency, if I do, then I would be happy to go there again 👍🏻

As a Nurse at a neighboring hospital I prefer Chabert to any of the hospitals you are treated with respect and like a person. The Nurses are wonderful and the doctors are very good. It’s funny how people always downplay Chabert I’m from NY and had now idea about the past history of Chabert but I must say the nurses care the doctors care the ancillary staff care. The complaint I have is the food. Sorry 😞
