A week ago my beloved brother in law was admitted to ICU and sadly passed away. He was in the ICU for 4 days and we were so grateful for the wonderful compassionate care by the nurses. They truly helped us deal with this very devastating situation more than they know and we will always be grateful for their dedication and compassion. They deserve to be mentioned and thanked as the job they do everyday is so incredibly important. So THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to Ashton, Max, Marissa, Genevieve and Maddie. You guys made such a difference to us and to my brother in law in his final days. 🙏♥️

Truly the best hospital I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been in and out of hospitals for the past 15 years. I did not know care THIS good existed. Even if there was a problem with one nurse, they fixed it the very next morning. And Celeste is a WONDERFUL nurse. Truly the best I’ve ever had in my life! Because of her, I was able to get my appetite back and I learned things that benefit my health that I will forever take with me. Sincerely, thank you, from the bottom of my heart!!!

I was recently in the ED. Medical care was very good but cleanliness of the bathroom was atrocious. Overflowing trash can, dried feces on toilet seat. Not what I would expect in a hospital. Housekeeping needs to do better

My recent hospitalization at Ochsner was absolutely the best hospitalization I have ever had from start to finish. I highly recommend my neurosurgeon, Marcus Ware, for his expertise, and the nurses on Nuro ICU are outstanding. If you are able to stay at Brent House, the night before surgery, I highly recommend that for as strange as it sounds, you feel like you’re on a mini vacation and go into surgery feeling very relaxed.
