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.

We absolutely adore Dr. PatelShe's very thorough and knowledgeable.She explains everything and ensures our son understands.
The only reason I would stop recommending Dr. Patel is for fear that she'll be too busy to see us. She is an A+++ doctor. I cannot recommend her enough. She's very thorough and mindful of any and everything involved with our children's care.
