This is how medicine is done. I can’t thank the emergency room staff enough for taking care of my special needs brother-in-law in a time of crisis. Ernie has Down’s Syndrome and Nurses Will, Erin and another whose name I forget (female… sorry about this) Treated him like family, and he immediately latched onto them. The female doctor was also fantastic, efficient, warm and friendly. I work at a hospital and understand that treatment like this does not always happen. This staff needs to be recognized for their outstanding service and warmth.

Had a pretty traumatic medical emergency about a week ago, ended having to be hospitalized for a week at Ochsner. My first time being admitted to a hospital and (while I hope it’s my last) everyone made it a 5/5 experience as much as they could. Didn’t wait long in the ER, the nurses and the doctors were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I saw some of the best doctors that I’ve ever encountered, and they were CURIOUS! It was an incredibly stressful time for me, so I especially salute the nurses of Med Surg Station 3 for being angels and watching over me. Thank you to my team of doctors who didn’t stop trying to figure out my case and giving me the best care I could possibly get. If you can, please come here for your healthcare! They saved my life. Literally… I’m so forever thankful for them. God bless y’all, truly. Without them I wouldn’t be here typing this review.

I was a patient at Ochsner Baptist ER from Tuesday 3/11 - Wednesday 3/12. I want to recognize and thank the following Ochsner Baptist ER team members. Triage nurse Ivy who set up my video intake offered to draw blood for HIV and Hepatitis C screening. I warned her that I have difficult veins. She was sincere, caring, and compassionate, and she was able to successfully draw blood from my right hand on the first attempt with very little pain or discomfort. As a patient who deals with vasovagal syncope at blood draws, her calm presence and reassurance and her friendly demeanor put me at ease. I am beyond thankful for Ivy’s care and attention to my stress. ER nurse Nicole is a true gem. She has a fun, caring, friendly, empathetic demeanor which helped put me at ease during a time my pain levels were high. Being solo at the ER with no family or friends to keep me company, Nicole took time to truly see me and actively listen, and engage in conversation to put me in a state of comfort. I am incredibly thankful for Nicole’s patience and understanding. ER Doc Thomas Krajewski is light years beyond the Baptist ER doc I dealt with in Sept. 2023. Dr. Krajewski is another active listener who took time to ensure he understood my concerns, and he discussed which tests he was ordering and why. He did not appear rushed. He took the time to answer questions. Dr. Krajewski is a consummate professional in his field. I am so thankful for his quality level of care. Thank you Baptist ER team for your teamwork to create a positive experience for me during this time of need. I thank you for your commitment to service and patient care!

Yesterday I had my first major surgery at the Magnolia building and I just want to thank all the staff for being so kind and attentive. Every single person, from the front desk staff to the nurses, made me feel like I was in good hands and helped the surgery go so smoothly. After being treated poorly by medical staff in the past, I feel really grateful to be shown that there are people out there that really do still care. Wishing you all a wonderful Mardi Gras!

The staff here are wonderful. Especially the ladies at the front desk. They were so lovely knowing I had my appointment for surgery. Very personable, made something that is very scary a lot less. My mom talked great about them as well and she told me how wonderfully they talked about me. If ever there was a need like before, I'd choose Baptist first without a doubt. Thank y'all so very much and keep up the great work 🙏🏾

I would like to thank my whole team starting with my nurse Sherece in the emergency room. She was so nice and calm. My emergency room physician Dr. Ann, whom I'm sure cared for me during the ER visit that ended with my gallbladder surgery. I would like to really thank her for being compassionate. A lot of doctors undermine your pain and brush it off like you're over exaggerating it but not these doctors. Which brings me to Dr. Hebert who I definitely give a 10 out of 10. He explained everything to me from my blood results to my procedure. He even used analogies to explain my pain and what was causing it. Dr. Shah reassured me once I made it to the main campus that everything will be fine once the procedure was over. He really calmed me to the point it didn't matter what was being done, I was going to be OK. Thank u to all my nurses; Megan, Natasha, Theresa, Tyra, Karen, Keri, Case Managers Kim, Kathy, & Jeanell and a special thanks to nurse Kecha. They all made me so comfortable and showed concern. I was no longer scared once these ladies showed their huge emphatic heart. Thank you to both Oschner Baptist and Oschner Jefferson for working as a team caring for me. I'm greatly appreciative!

I’ve been to this facility multiple times and I really appreciate the sincerity and attentiveness the staff puts in. My only hesitation to give the hospital staff a five star review comes from having gluten intolerance marked in my chart and repeatedly being served food with gluten in it. The food and nutrition staff are nice enough so I’m not blaming the people who bring the food to the room, I’m asking for the system to be reevaluated that won’t let me order grits, but is fine with giving me an ice cream option with cookies in it (this isn’t the only example).

Had the unpleasent experience of visiting this ER after a mugging. I will say that I have never been treated better by the staff. From the Doctor to the nurses, they made me feel appreciated and were sympathetic. It was an overall great experience. Thank you.

Certain tests are just so uncomfortable no matter what. But THIS place eases any apprehension. It is very clean and has a well organized staff who quickly yet thoroughly tend to your medical care. They answer your questions you might have and make sure to ask YOU if you have any questions or concerns. The Women Center here is so on point I've been recommending to all female friends I know as well as neighbors and coworkers.

Nurses were great, the primary doctor I had was great, but on her day off this guy sent me home way too early. Been spending most of my time in bed for the last week. They kept telling me it was one thing, but I know that wasn't just the case. This guy just rushed me out of the hospital and his excuse was after talking to me for 5 minutes said their is nothing else I can do for him???

I had a sleep study here and the staff was amazing. Ms. Anita and Leena made me feel comfortable. Ms. Donna was with me for my day study and she is an angel. She was so caring and considerate. The information she provided before the appointment was helpful. She responded quickly to my voicemail to say she works in day studies. Mr. Allen checked on me as well. I am happy that they are here.
