| My insurance would cover WLS here |
| Competitors: |
You wait forever here, my biggest gripe. |
| Comments: |
The surgery was perfect, no complications and even left the hospital after only one night. The hopital was just ok.....the recovery room that night was awesome, those nurses were rockin'. Then the next moring they take me to a room and blah, from there. I asked for a private and was pretty much SOL there. The room they put me in had another patient, no biggie I guessed, but then I got to my bed and the dirty sheets from the previous patient was still on the floor....gross. My new nurse was aggravated that I was getting in this room only to leave in a few hours....excuse me I'm still a paying patient. I complained about the laundry on the floor and was told she would get to it. Everything I needed seemed to take forever. I was told I could leave after I had my broth for lunch. I was excited about that. Only thing is lunch never came, and now it was dinner time......dinner never came. I was so ready to leave. I sent my DH three times to get lunch/dinner. Finally the nurse went in the lounge to get a couple of items for me to eat. Is this sad or what. I bet those meals are on my bill. I finally swigged the broth down and flew the coup. I couldn't wait to get out of there.
My only two wishes is that the wait wouldn't be so long, the wait in this place is crazy, and that they were closer to my home. |

| I had worked on the bariatric unit (nurse), and chose my surgeon based on his skill. The bariatric unit is well equipped and staffed great. Amazing nurses there, from both perspectives. |
| Competitors: |
In my experience as a nurse, this hospital far surpasses other area hospitals both in skill and in caring. |
| Comments: |
This was my second surgery with this surgeon and his facility. I would highly recommend them both to anyone. He is excellent as is the fantastic staff that supports him and provides genuine caring service to his patients. |

| Comments: |
The anesthesia staff are all great, from the CRNA's to the docs. The nursing staff is made up of a lot of "travel nurses" (post Katrina) that have been brought in to help the nursing shortage in this area. Everyone worked together as a team and the surgery experience was made easier for me as a result. |

| First and foremost, Ochsner has an EXCELLENT reputation as a hospital. Secondly, I am an employee there so I was grateful to see that they finally are getting a bariatric program. |

The only other experience I have had with another hospital was Horrible! So, understandably, this was quite excellent! |

Very clean, the nurses on the 5th Floor where I stayed were above excellent! There was not one single complaint when it came to comfort and care! |

Ochsner is one of the best medical facilities in Louisiana and I am glad when I chose to have the procedure done that it was there. |
