Ochsner LSU Health Patient Verified Reviews

4.8/5
81 Ratings 22 Comments

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 CAHPS Clinician & Group Survey (CG-CAHPS). 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.

Love Dr Zhang

April 2023

Where do I begin about Dr. Zhang. He Is an amazing Dr./ surgeon I have no regrets on my neck surgery he preformed. He has gone above and beyond very caring, compatiant, great sense of humor. He has addressed not only my neck issues but my shoulder also. All I can say what a great Dr. Zhang and on a scale of 1-10 he is a 10+

April 2023

The doctor explained my condition using mri and xrays thoroughly. He gave me a plan, with steps written down to what I do next. He told me about shots in my neck and how, depending on how I feel after shots, I might consider surgery. He showed me, on a model of a neck and spine, how that would work. He gave good advice and great detail.
