Online Reviews
I was very nervous about getting the vaccine. The whole process from beginning to end was very organized and efficient. The friendly and helpful demeanor of all the employees put me at ease. I was vaccinated, was in observation for 15 minutes and I was out in no time. Ochsner was great.

My Primary Dr. Kim Nuyen I had a lab work 1st than my Primary Dr. 2nd. While telling my Dr. all the symptoms I had she said I know you just did lab work so I will send you back to get another blood and urine lab done. The next day my Dr. Nuyen called my home and told me what was going on and sent my prescription to the pharmacy to be filled and I did. I M Thankful that she made me do it again and with her decision I was looking for another trip being admitted again. THANKS DR. Kim Nuyen for your professional decision you made it was on time. I didn’t realized that Blood was still in my urine. Thanks again Ochsner and Dr Kim Nguyen for being there for me.

Ochsner has really thought of the patient during the pandemic. Patients can check in remotely in the car! My most recent visit was great. I had a 30 second wait time and once brought in I went straight in to the doctor! Even when I do wait, the service is wonderful. The doctors REALLY listen to you and do their best to determine the cause of every ailment and treat them or recommend some type of solution. I highly recommend Ochsner and their team of doctors as part of your healthcare!

Ochsner's Center for Primary Care is a very eaay environment to navigate. Generally all staff that I encounter from start to finish are kind and helpful.

In my experience I actually would give a 5 star rating for the quality of care given. My biggest concern is that the Doctors do not accept new patients which causes a Huge problem when people move to different areas. This is where they are failing miserably. Come on Ochsner, you can do better for your patience.
