I have been going to a Ochsner for years. Almost all of my doctors are from Ochsner. They work together. All of my doctors are amazing. I love using the portal. I have contact with my doctors at any time. I can only think of a few occasions where I had a problem at Ochsner. The pharmacy is amazing. They do my pill packs, and all of Ochsner employees are pretty much kind, well knowledge, great bedside manner, and you can tell that they truly care about your treatment. They are very thorough. They give the best treatment that I’ve ever had and any kind of healthcare.

I have not been here in a while but looks like their has been an upgrade. You no longer have to worry about finding food after the cafeteria closes. They have these self checkout area of hospital that is open 24 hrs. They now even have a Ochsner children area in the hospital. I guess Children's Hospital was getting over crowded and now their are other options in the City. The children waiting area is stylized very cute with stars on the ceiling and a mini fish tank. I'd be happy to visit any patient staying here.

Excelente atenciòn

From the very start, we knew this was a different kind of hospital experience. The surgeons, Dr. Bolton, Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Benito and I’m sure a host of other medical professionals in the operating room were nothing less than top notch. You can tell that these doctors and surgeons are in the medical profession because it is their passion.. These doctors truly know and practice their trade and craft. Once we got to the 10th floor GISSU unit we were absolutely enveloped by the staff nurses, caregivers, techs and a host of other professionals. A special thanks to Chase, Ahlecia, LaSaundra, Cheryl, Deja, Dr Talton and all the others that popped in during the day and night to check vitals, pain level and general well-being. I would recommend this hospital and team of caregivers to anyone.
