Ochsner LSU Health Patient Verified Reviews

4.3/5
61 Ratings 6 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.

December 2022

Care giver asked how I felt and what I thought would be best plan of action. We agreed and the appointment was ended with the doctor and I agreeing on the treatment of my situation. Great communication with doctor and her true concern about my medical condition.
