I was taking and I did not have it with me. I sent it as soon as I got home as I promised, and I hope that somebody addressed her relative to this and to how she speaks to people and looks at people, because I hope I don’t have to deal with her ever again. I realize everybody has a bad day and maybe she was having such however, you can’t do that in business. She was absolutely, absolutely , absolutely out of line. Might I add that she was very disrespectful in my humble opinion. God bless and take care of everybody in that office in Metairie, Louisiana"

I arrived at 9:47am and was not called for my procedure until 12:05pm. This, to me, seems like an extraordinary amount of time to wait. Apparently your office overbooked appointments on that day. Other than the wait time, l was thoroughly satisfied with Dr.Reddy and the Nursing staff. Thanks"
"Dr Brenner is very personable and friendly. I feel very comfortable talking to him. He makes you feel comfortable as he explains about your problems."
"My entire process was amazing! Very smooth as the team of medical staff were super friendly, kind, and sensitive to my procedure. My anesthesiologist, Crystal, was so kind and very informative as she explained everything she was going to do and what I would experience, before she did it! Dr. Wegmann was very kind and introduced himself to me letting me know he would be performing my procedures. Great office to have your procedure done! 🙌🏾❤️"
"I had a televisit with Dr. Reddy. We started on time, in fact a little early because he was available. All my concerns were heard and addressed. I will be seeing him in person for a procedure and trust this will be uneventful as well. I’m very pleased with the care I’m receiving from Dr. Reddy and staff."
"Doctor Lilly is so nice! He spent plenty of time with me and didn't rush the visit at all. I'm very glad I was referred to him, I now have a go-to GI doctor here in town."
"I am giving Dr. Silvers a 5 star rating. In reference to the receptionists , they have failed my expectations, they don't answer the phones when patients are calling in . One elderly lady made an inperson visit. She complained that she called for many days off and on with no answer or call back. She explained to the receptionist that she decided to make a personal appearance to schedule an appointment. They also spend a lot of time chatting with one another and letting the patients wait."
"I find him to be a knowledgeable doctor with a very good bedside manner. I’m a relatively new patient and I’m well satisfied with his services so far. As for now I would recommend his services to anyone who wants to know."
"I recently had double knee surgery with Dr. Campbell and I am elated with the results! He is highly skilled. I walked out of the surgery, rested for 3 days, and on day 4 I walked around IKEA! Dr. Campbell is highly professional and knowledgeable. Photo was taken 2 days after surgery."

"I recently had a EGD at Dr. Catinis' Kingman St. office. The whole experience was as good as could be expected. From the check-in process to the procedure itself, and then recovery, everything was professionally done by really nice, pleasant folks. I was pretty worried about getting a scope being put down my throat, but I don't remember any of it. I highly recommend Dr. Catinis and his wonderful staff."
"The staff was very professional and I was seen promptly. Dr Puente is very knowledgeable and I was glad to have seen him since he dispelled some doubts I had about my GI health and answered my question in a very kind manner."
"I Love Dr. Lilly! He has a Great Bedside Manner. He is easy to talk to and made sure I understood everything before I left his office. He never rushed me out the door like some Doctors. I actually had all my questions answered. I never left his office thinking I need another appointment because I'm leaving with so many questions unanswered. I knew he would be my doctor within the first 5 minutes of talking with him. Thank You So Much to Dr. Lilly and his Outstanding Team!"

He started running blood work and tests immediately! I’m very impressed with his concern for my health. I can not speak highly enough of him! I definitely would recommend him."
"It was an excellent experience. From the moment I went to the back. To the nurse who questioned me to the person administering the anesthetic. To the recovery room. I was well pleased Thank you for all you do. Look forward to the next time. 10 years but still..... Be blessed and thank you again!"
"This was my second visit with Dr. Mayer. I did not hesitate to make my appointment because my first experience, as with this experience, was a learning experience that included not only medical information and procedures but understanding of my personal experiences. Dr. Mayer is the consummate medical professional with a wonderful, warm smile to boot."
"Starting from the first call to the office, meeting Dr. Carrier, booking my procedures, accommodating my schedule to get everything done before school starts because I'm a teacher was perfect. I was so scared after receiving my results and everyone along the way was kind, compassionate, and informative. Even when I had to call after hours twice, the doctor called me back with 10 mins which is basically unheard of nowadays. They worked with my pharmacy to change medicine 3xs to get one that my insurance would cover. This practice gets an EXCELLENT rating in my opinion."
"I want to thank Dr. Cantinis for facetime. But , I haven't heard back on when I'm supposed to come back in for my endoscopic test. Threw up again last night three I need to have this procedure done immediately. and if there's any way they can expedite it I'd be more than grateful. D.r Catini's, is a wonderful doctor and he cares about me. So if there is any way you can have this procedure done immediately I would greatly appreciate it. I was supposed to hear back from his nurse for an appointment but I have yet to hear back from her. Have a great weekend! Sincerely, Ginger Johnson"
