Ochsner LSU Health Patient Verified Reviews

4.8/5
91 Ratings 17 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.

Dr. Brinkley is an absolutely wonderful physician. He talks to you, and explains what he is talking about (and, he even checks your chart before he sees you and can refer back to things that were discussed 3 years ago!).

Dr. Brinkley is a very professional and knowledgeable doctor. He is thorough and is concerned about my medical issue. He has given me a lot of information to understand why I'm receiving the type of treatment that is being prescribed for me. He always asks if I have any concerns or questions for him. He is very personable and easy to talk to. I feel lucky to have him as my Dr.

Dr. Brinkley is very patient, sincere, and provides time for questions if needed. But they weren't needed because he explains things thoroughly. He has put my mind at ease regarding my diagnosis. I would recommend him to anyone needing Neuro-opthalmic care.
