I had heart cath on 21 July got hospital a little early lab work went fast very nice people, then 3rd floor prep nurses had me ready in 10 minutes doctor said he was ready he explained everything to wife and I everything went great so organized so nice to me knowing I’m going through ruff times with heart they treat you like family, been in a lot of hospital’s in last 10 years but ochsner tops them offered free food and drinks before leaving. I’m waiting on heart transplant and wouldn’t feel comfortable anywhere else I can’t remember names very well anymore 3rd floor heart cath team and prep room nurses are the best. James blackburn…. March 25,2022 Had surgery Monday and Tuesday at ochsner 3rd floor team from the minute I arrived till I left I was treated like a rock star from the nurses on the 3rd floor to nurses in surgery room,Anastasia staff was great,Guys and girls from California were great. Research team especially to meliney who has been setting this up for months and kept me up to date with everything. Thanks Becky who is doctor Morin nurse for helping my wife through this procedure. To doctors Morin and his associates are the best they have been through so much to get this ground breaking new surgery in place at ochsner for patients like me and everyone with heart disease. I was the first at ochsner to have it done and it’s only been 4 days but I feel better and have called them for a couple of days and everyone has followed up with us. Thanks to everyone who helped me go through this at ochsner. Special thanks Doctor Morin and meliney in research who is the best and has kept me informed about everything that was going on it took about 8 months for everyone to get this procedure ready. I’m doing great so far with a couple of Checkups done and more to come. This hospital is the best.

I had gotten the run-around from UMCNO for months and decided to go to Ochsner Baptist seeking a semblance of care. Although O-B was thorough, they didn’t have a specialist on deck for my issues, so they transferred me here. It ended up being a 3-day ordeal. The Main Campus was incredibly comprehensive, clean, and the nurses, doctors, and everyone in between treated you like a human being and took the time to explain and answer questions. Even the meals weren’t terrible. Hands down, this was some of the best medical care I have received. They even assigned a case worker who advocated on my behalf to help me get the correct specialists within my insurance plan since UMCNO showed an absurd amount of incompetence regarding their scheduling and ‘care’ 👎🏽 This is the hospital you want to end up in if you want competent doctors and compassionate staff.

I arrived at Ochsner ER approximately 2 hours after the onset of a medical episode (still presenting symptoms) with blood pressure only 2 mm Hg below Hypertensive Crisis (danger zone for heart attacks and strokes etc). No one ever mentioned elevated blood pressure or checked my blood pressure again.
