I'm from Texas and was on a group bike ride across Louisiana. I had a wreck (bicycle) at mile 29 and was pretty banged up. We stumbled across this facility on our way to Baton Rouge for treatment. They were very professional, kind and caring. If all the Ochsner facilities are run like this one, this is the place to be for emergency care!

I love Ochsner! The facilities are updated and conveniently located. The doctors are great and knowledgeable. They take the time to listen and suggest treatments based on my preferences. Doctors are easy to get in contact with through MyCharts. My test results are uploaded quickly & It’s easy to make appointments online. I’ve never had any issues with my insurance and before I had insurance I was still able to be seen. Always a great experience! I only go to physicians in the Ochsner network & will continue doing so.

My nurse in the recovery room was the most caring, kindest, and made me feel at ease. I don’t remember her name but we talked the whole time I was waiting for me to go back for my procedure. I don’t even remember if I told her thank you. So if you are reading this and you know who you are, thank you for being yourself and making me comfortable!

I had a remarkably excellent stay with wonderful care. I have nothing negative to say about my experience. From the doctors to the nurses everyone was so caring. I was on an overflow unit and while I’m sure the care staff were very busy, they never let on. I had everything I needed, the food was actually delicious, hot, and I was blown away. My room was clean. As soon as I got blood on my sheets and gown from a tricky IV situation, the PCT brought me all I needed to get cleaned up and change my sheets. Thanks for making a scary experience feel much safer and very comfortable.

My experience at Ochsner on O'Neal was great. My pre-OP and post op nurses were wonderful, especially Nurse Brittany and Nurse Matthew. My surgery team enjoyable and very professional. Dr. Irene was her usual fabulous self. I felt very comfortable with the whole experience. I would recommend someone to Ochsner, especially to Dr. Irene if they are suffering from any type of foot problems. One very satisfied patient.

I went into the ER with a severe cut in my wrist. The staff were all very nice and took great care of me. I waited less than 5 mins to be brought to the back, and I was in there a total of 1 & 1/2 hrs. They got my wrist cleaned, stitched up, X-rays and sent me on my way. I had to wait awhile for the x-ray tech, other than that I have no complaints.
