James Wooldridge Bariatric Surgeon

Dr Wooldridge is one of the best out there. He takes his time and answers questions like he has all the time in the world. his nurses are great and sweet. if I had to do it all again I'd Definitely pick him ! I recommend him to anyone n Louisiana thinking of getting surgery.

Dr. Wooldrige was very informative and patient. I enjoyed his knowledge and willingness to work with me. if i had to do it all over again i would pick him again!

I looooooove Dr. Wooldridge. Not only did he answer every question I ever had with patience, he has been extremely involved post-op. The whole team is open to questions. They tell you to call if you have ANY concern or question. I feel like I call them at least once a week. They are great. Two weeks after surgery I was getting concerned about bathroom issues and a lot more pain, I called and the nurse gave me instructions and said she'd call back in 2 days to check on me. Two days after I got a call from the Ochsner Bariatric Surgery team... I expected it to be Tara, Dr. Wooldridge's nurse, but it was Dr. Wooldridge. He has genuine concern and wants to be involved in your overall health. He wants to see you succeed. He is amazing! He has set a high standard for ALL of my doctors in the future! I cannot sing his praises enough. If you are looking for an amazing surgeon... you really should consider him and his team!

My experience with Dr. Wooldridge and his team has been excellent. He has a very caring attitude and an excellent bedside manner. All of my questions are usually answered by him or his staff before I even ask them! The entire pre op process went smoothly. Recovery from the surgery was MUCH easier than I ever imagined it could be. I was back at work 1 week after surgery! My scars are tiny and have been virtually painless. I was a tad bit concerned about the care I would receive post op at the hospital (because I have had very poor experiences there before), but I have nothing but positive things to say about the nursing care I received during my stay.

Dr. Wooldrige is very personable. He answers all my questions, even the silly ones. I continue to be very impressed with him and his team. Had some paperwork issues in the beginning but but it was all staightened out and my confidence in the office staff is great now. I would highly recommend him to everyone.
