Ochsner LSU Health Patient Verified Reviews

4.8/5
366 Ratings 25 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.

Very good

March 2023

Dr Kavanaugh is the best, and his assistant was very nice. He came in first and examined my eyes. Was very pleased. Then they both came in and discussed my best options.

March 2023

I've been singing Kavanaugh's praises all day. It's not often you get any physician who displays as much concern and ability to make a sound judgment call about which procedure to do and how quick to do it. I appreciated his knowledge and even his ability to make me feel secure in his decision.
