My initial visit with Dr. Donnesha Clayton was great! She was very warm, attentive, and professional. She listened to my concerns and symptoms and suggested/scheduled tests to find out what's causing my issues. Her nurse Robin was very kind, helpful, and compassionate. I really appreciated their kindness in a very stressful time. I had my first test on 8-25 and everyone that I came in contact with from the beginning to the end of that appointment were Awesome. I have another test scheduled on 9-7 and I'm sure the experience will be the same. While I am a new patient to Ochsner, I'm not a stranger to Ochsner. My Mom is a patient in the Ochsner system and my boyfriend was until he passed away. I experienced my Mom get excellent care from her health care team. I also experienced my boyfriend get Exceptional care during the years of his illness. Thank you Doretha Porter
