I was a long-time EJGH patient and then switched to Ochsner because of insurance. After going here for several years now I can't imagine going anywhere else. The staff is courteous and always willing to go above and beyond. The facilities are top-notch, and the doctors are excellent 👌. I will be an Ochsner patient for life.

Great visits. I had some tests before my appointment and they were all on time with very nice techs. Dr Emerson is amazing!! He listened and didn’t chide me for smoking which I appreciated. He gave me info about the smoke cessation program. He addressed my concerns appropriately. He was such a nice guy! I’d go back to him in a second!
