Ochsner Patient Verified Reviews
To obtain patient ratings and comments, we partner with Press Ganey, an independent patient satisfaction company that works with more than 26,000 healthcare organizations to improve the patient experience. These patient verified ratings are based on the “likelihood to recommend” physician scores on the nationally developed Medical Practice Survey. Actual top box results for this question are translated to a 1-5 scale, and the star scores are measured on that scale, with 5 being the best score.
Excellent
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Nelson. I love that he is as excited about my surgery outcome and progress as I am and while he is always careful to explain all possible outcomes, I know he is hoping for the best for his patients. I'm super impressed with him. He listens and asks clarifying questions. All doctors should be like him.
Good
The doctor explained everything completely and included me in decisions that were made.
Excellent!
Loved Dr. Nelson. He's very good with children. Made my 2year old son very comfortable and answered all of my questions along with information I didn't ask for but found very helpful.
Dr. Nelson is so caring and genuine. I know in my heart he wanted my surgery to be as much of a success as I did. He is attentive and it's clear he has his patients best interests in mind.
Thanks it was great
