I was there to see Dr Paul Phillips for my 2nd visit and let me just say...his staff is awesome! Dr Phillips explained everything to me on both visits and is the best! He's personable and understands when you tell him your situation. If you need an Ortho Dr, make your appointment with him!

This is the fastest ER visit I’ve had. I’ve been there several times and it’s always the same. The only time I had to wait was when the computers were down and I was waiting on xray information. Other than that it’s been a pleasant experience. Doctors and nurses are great people who are really helpful and attentive. If you have a problem with them you have to consider that they maybe understaffed or it’s been a busy night for them. Not sure about the daytime. I’ve always had to go in the we hours of the night/morning. Overall it’s fast and you’re always treated with respect and care.

I had an MRI done at the Ochsner Medical Center in Kenner, and I was impressed with the entire visit. Very professional staff and very well organized making for a seamless visit. I had some issue finding the correct door to enter the facility, but eventually found the open door on the side of the building. Perhaps better signage would help prevent that in the future. In any event, that did not detract from a wonderful experience!

This has probably been the best hospital I have ever been in. They have given top notch care for my mother in law. The ICU is amazing and the doctors there are very kind and thorough. You can tell that they try to put the families at ease here and that they care. They put a lot of work and care into their patients. I have nothing but good things to say about Ochsner Medical Center.

Emergency department, I would give 1 star. Once I was in a room, I had the two most amazing nurses. Deja and Ronnie, Deja was training Ronnie. They were both kind, respectful, knowledgeable and I wish I could show, or tell them, how much I appreciate them. Also, Deja was very patient when training with Ronnie and I thought that was commendable; it takes a special person. The surgeon and anesthesiologist, the next morning, were very kind as well. I had woken up VERY ill; I had a headache that was killing me, I felt like I was going to vomit everywhere, I was sweating terribly bad, etc.. They listened to me and my husband about what I needed, my gown fell and they kindly put it back and were very respectful. They gave me nausea medicine, ice packs, asked if I normally get migraines, what do I take to help them, etc.. Thank you; it was appreciated to be seen, heard and cared for which did not happen upon arrival.

I had to switch to a new PCP, and I have to say that Dr. Johnson is WONDERFUL. I was nervous about switching, but I'm so glad she's my doctor now. She's one of the most caring doctors I've ever had. She checks in with her patients to see how things are going, and if a medication isn't working, she works with the patient to find a solution. She's easy to talk to. Even when I feel like I'm asking a crazy question, she's always open and never condescending.
