My most recent visit to Ochnser was for my yearly mammogram. All of my past mammograms have been done at a different facility and I was nervous about changing places. Jenna was my mammo tech and she was incredible. Not only did she take the time to explain the exam to me but she was also lovely to talk to and made me feel very comfortable. I always have great a experiences at Ochsner. It is obvious they are dedicated to their patient care.
