The staff was really nice to my medically complex friend. I was surprised they don't have pharmacogenmics or Hygiene of Sweden at play due to the complex environmental issues in the area. My Oschner Ancestors would be proud but if Switzerland can lead the way in progressive treatment then it seems the Ochsner Staff could ketchup when they have all the Kennedys and Loyola to help them. #pharmacovigilant #IISOP #ISOP #MEHealthCrisis

I had a mammogram elsewhere & it was painful and very traumatic so when I was asked to have one at Tansey Breast Center, I was Leary but they were patient, supportive, and very attentive in stead of pushy and let me tell you, it was uncomfortable but not like the other one!!

Amazing staff. They reacted quickly to our emergency. The physicians were all amazing. They took the time to explain what was going on, why it was going on, what could happen, and what had to happen. All the facts were given to us and explained. The nurses and aids were just as exceptional!! After being admitted, the same treatment continued. Everyone was very helpful, kind, informative, and made sure we were as comfortable as possible considering the circumstances! I am very pleased with Ochsner Medical Center and their staff, and forever grateful!

I was on vacation from Michigan, took a horrible tumble down stairs and split my knee cap and the skin wide open. I was treated unbelievably nice, respectful, and the nursing staff actually cared. Why I hope to never have to visit a new Orleans hospital again, if I have to, I will choose Ochsner! I have never had such amazing, friendly staff at any other hospital!
