The Bone & Spine center in the hospital was impressive. From the time of check in to the time I was taken to the exam room was only about 5 minutes and I waited less than 5 minutes to see the PA. She explained everything in detail and scheduled me for further testing so we could then discuss options for my care.

I got there a half hour early and was immediately directed to the exam room where I waited about ten minutes. I was finished about ten minutes after my actual appointment time. Everyone was very helpful and compassionate.

Just went to the main campus orthopedics because I was having left knee pain. I had the other replaced about ten years ago at Ochsner. My knee pain was not because it required a replacement as I feared. Dr. Wolfe explained in detail what my knee pain was and provided two options for relief. I went with a cortisone injection. His gentle approach was comforting and the injection was not painful. The entire team was very professional from admission to X-ray to the injection. I have all the confidence in the world with Ochsner.

This hospital is extremely large. Most of the staff that I met or had dealings with were very polite. I was a visitor of a patient for over three weeks there. The food options on campus at night were non existent. Several places around to drive to. It was confusing at night if new to the hospital as far as what entrances got locked at night and which didn’t.
Our Response:
On behalf of Ochsner Health, we are always looking for ways to improve. If you're willing to discuss this in more detail, could you please send us an email at feedback@ochsner.org, including your full name and contact information, so we can further investigate this matter? Thank you.

My neurologist, Dr. Posas at Ochsner is such a great doctor. I would suggest him to anyone who needs a great neurologist for treating severe migraines. I used to suffer daily with them and couldn't function or barely work because of them, and now he has me feeling like I have quality of life again.
Our Response:
That's exactly what we like to hear! Creating positive outcomes for our patients is central to everything we do. Thank you for your glowing review. This response is provided on behalf of Ochsner Health.
