New Orleans twins' experience with a noninvasive heart surgery
"That first day with Dr. Crittendon set the tone for our whole story. We definitely had such a sense of peace," Lane said. "When your kids are born that young, and everything that you planned was totally out of your control, and you had to learn to let go very, very, very quickly and trust strangers with your most prized possession, it's very vulnerable."

I was in and out quickly. We did not even sit down in the waiting room. The nurses and doctor cared for my 10 month old baby carefully. I appreciated the care and patience when It came to his diagnosis. Thanks again to the care team.

Absolutely AMAZING service at the children’s pediatric ICU intensive care unit. The employees are devoted, smart, no very smart, proactively seeking to improve their knowledge, they are not narrow minded and they behave with the most ethical behaviour I have ever seen in my life. Furthermore, they are simply positive minded and in solution finding mode. On behalf of my wife Melissa Marinelli and myself, Nicolas TETRAULT, former elected Canadian politician from Montreal, OCHSNER Hospital in New Orleans is a definite 100/100 ! On a more trivial note, the food at the cafeteria is excellent (like at home type of cooking, very tasty, a very good culinary team!). The only downside to the cafeteria is that there should be more tables and chairs as it is very popular at lunch and supper because the food is so good! So please add some more tables in the cafeteria, this is my only complaint. I also enjoy the fact that the parking is free. Again AMAZING TEAM of nurses, respiratory therapists, security and doctors ! OCHSNER = the best I have ever seen in my life ! Mr. Nicolas Tetrault, M. Sc. former elected Canadian politician.

This is the best experience I've ever had with a hospital for my daughter. When every other hospital she's been to recently, they are the only ones that actually took the time to find out why she was having the issues she was having. Also, the nursing students were so amazing! I hope they go on to be the best nurses ever! Shout out to Jacob (I don't know his last name). My daughter took a liking to him, and he was super compassionate. I wish all of them the best.

Best healthcare in the region, my daughter’s health improved after years of other medical centers not being able to offer answers. Once we saw providers at Ochsner we finally got some answers and a treatment plan.

The staff, residences, and physician were welcoming, caring, informative, and professional.

Nothing like taking your child that has a low immune system to the hospital to get admitted for pneumonia and to find a dead roach in your sink . It makes me wonder if the room was even cleaned . You would think as big of a name at Oschner is they would have a decent clean room for you to stay in. Also why is it you have to wait 5 hours to even see a nurse on the floor. If yall are short nurses hire more.

Hands down best pediatric cardiology office around. My daughter had an echo & stress test done here. We showed up on the wrong day because I got the date wrong & they squeezed us in anyway! The staff who did the echo was extremely sweet & warned my daughter about any pressure that was to be placed on her chest beforehand. The stress test was a breeze. I would recommend this place to anyone!
