Ochsner LSU Health Patient Verified Reviews

4.6/5
195 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.

Amazing care

July 2023

Dr Shirley Tan took really excellent care. She explained what was going on, referred me to another Physician/clinic that can help heal the problem I am having:

July 2023

Dr. Tan is very knowledgeable about everything I throw at her. Never have to second guess her advice.

July 2023

Excellent

June 2023

I did not feel like she was focused on helping me. Felt like she was rushed to finish and move on to next patient. Not asked many questions or explained care well. Follow up on test result was poor with no real explanation or advise. Follow up appointment for 6 months away seems unhelpful.

May 2023

I felt like she hadn't looked at my file to familiarize herself with me. It was also a 4:00 appointment and I could tell she was ready to go. It felt as though she she wasn't concerned with what I was going through! And she didn't ask the questions she normally would!

May 2023

I can't say enough good stuff about Dr. Tans staff and my experience at her office

May 2023

The doctor was so sweet & nice (you don't have many doctors like that @ clinics).

May 2023

Dr. Tan is just the kind of doctor I've been looking for. Wish I'd found her sooner. I look forward to working with her to get my diabetes, high blood pressure and weight under control.

May 2023

Start to finish everything was good

May 2023

My experiences are always good

March 2023

My experience was great, this is my first visit here and hope to continue all of my health care needs in the future.

March 2023

Very concerned and knowledgeable

March 2023

Great

February 2023

Dr. Tan makes me comfortable enough to be completely honest about my mental and physical health. She listens to the good, the bad and the ugly.

February 2023

Very caring

January 2023

Doctor disposition very pleasant, knowledgeable and considerate.

January 2023
