Ochsner LSU Health Patient Verified Reviews

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.

October 2023

Dr Upton is unprofessional. Rude and seemed completely bothered by me making an appointment. I voiced concern for something and she acted like I was ridiculous for wanting urine test done it came back negative and I have yet to hear from anyone on further testing or treatment on my issue. I was made to feel dumb for coming in at all. I was made to feel uncomfortable with my body and I wanted to just leave in the middle of my appointment. I will never ever set another appointment here again or at least not with Dr Upton. I've seen 3 other Dr's at this location and all have been amazing. Dr Upton needs a huge ego and reality check in patient care

I had to have a C-section, the doctor's talked me through every step of the way and held my hand.

June 2023

Prior to seeing Dr. Upton, I was very worried and scared about my pregnancy due to a doctor I was seeing before her. But she's absolutely amazing she listens to your problems or concerns and makes sure everything is addressed before leaving. Also she is very good with communicating and breaking things down if you don't have an understanding. Dr. Upton has made me be at ease about all my concerns and with my pregnancy.
