This hospital is extremely large. Most of the staff that I met or had dealings with were very polite. I was a visitor of a patient for over three weeks there. The food options on campus at night were non existent. Several places around to drive to. It was confusing at night if new to the hospital as far as what entrances got locked at night and which didn’t.

My neurologist, Dr. Posas at Ochsner is such a great doctor. I would suggest him to anyone who needs a great neurologist for treating severe migraines. I used to suffer daily with them and couldn't function or barely work because of them, and now he has me feeling like I have quality of life again.

Ochsner to me has been just absolutely amazing, at a really difficult time in my life. I live in Mississippi, it’s so great that we can drive to Louisiana and stay at the hotel at the hospital. The rooms were so extra nice. At one point I forgot about my surgery because of the lovely rooms and all the amenities for a split second I felt like I was on vacation . It’s that thoughtfulness of this hospital to make the patients experience the best and so convenient. I have the most skilled doctors taking care of me and although we are far from done with my surgeries and treatments I know I am in the best hands and best care. But the single complaint was the blended bbq chicken thigh. But everything else was great. Ochsner to me in a word Blessing.

My daughter came close to chopping off her finger at work and when we got to Oschner main, we were taken care of by the most amazing team of medical professionals who made us feel completely comfortable Thank you to Andrew Ginsberg and Mathew Callier for keeping us calm and making us laugh throughout the surgery they both preformed.
