When he moved to HCoL we followed (from Orthopedic Center for Sports Medicine). Dr Thomas Lyons is known for being one of the top sports orthopedic surgeon in New Orleans, and for good reason (his clientele list is impressive). His main focus is knees, elbows, shoulders and upper extremity). He is professional yet personable and extremely knowledgeable. So, if you need someone new or don't like the results you're getting. Please take the time, do yourself a favor, to go see him. He will help you. That said, you do not have to be involved in sports to go see this wonderful man. Dr. Lyons does not shame you about your weight. He doesn't embarrass you about your activity level. He wants you happy and he wants you healthy. His empathy for your pain / needs and his love of the human body and how it works is impressive. Of course, like all doctors they want to fit as well. However he will work with you at any level you are at. Dr. L is caring, thoughtful and he will listen to you. Be honest with him and you will satisfied with your results. He will give you clear concise information on how to go forward. Money is not his motivator. He is a man you can trust. More importantly, Dr T Lyons is a man I trust with my body / life, my husband and the health of my loved ones. Hand Center of Louisiana: Our experience in the last 2 years with this operation is top-notch too. The appointments run on time, They are a well-oiled machine. They process the paperwork like they're supposed to. Everything is good, safe , clean, friendly. I would say, your first time there, the "flow" is odd (because its new to you and the floor is split by elevator), so ASK the first person you see and they set you on the right course. I wouldn't expect Dr. L to be with some affiliated with a place that was not of his high standard. Which brings me to if you need surgery. TAKE the option go to the Omega Hospital (see my separate review). Even though it's probably out of network, they will work with you, and in some cases wipe your entire patient portion. It's a boutique, your partner has a quiet space to help you recover. It's small and the one on one from the RN and staff cannot be matched. They had me walking 30 minutes after surgery and I have not stopped since . (but YOU have to do the work too!) I promise to edit this review soon, but I've been wanting to write it for some time (over a year, wish I could blame covid, but just to busy 'cause my knee works!). Check back if you wish for read grammar corrections! Private message me if you have ANY questions. Heath is a serious issue. I fully understand and appreciate you taking the time to read this review and the fact you are considering your options. YOU SHOULD ... more folks should. Our personal situation: This review is long overdue! Dr L was delightful then and he is as he is today. To explain my situation with him . . . I first became aware of Dr Lyons and his fantastic bedside manner when a friend had a serious accident and needed surgery (1999?). He did an amazing job w/ ground meat and my friends is playing tennis, dancing etc today. In 2003-4 my husband (retired oilfield) was having neck shoulder issues, I told him there was only one guy I could recommend, Dr Thomas Lyons. Of course he did not disappoint. Since that time hubby has had shots and both knees cleaned out. Great experience all times. Since that time he has recommended Dr. L several times to co-workers, and he has yet to let them or us down! From 2008, I did knee (chicken shots), then "cleaned out", after years of bone on bone, and waiting until I moved back to Nola, Dr L performed my total knee replacement in 2020. It was perfectly done by Dr Lyons, and I haven't looked back since. Last week in Cancun I played volleyball all day, and danced all night. Giving Dr Lyons most of the credit. Husband went to see him for rotator cuff issues shoulder neck received a couple shots, after he met Dr Lyons working in the oilfield, he came a lot he highly recommended Dr Lyons to many people who ended up using him. All with very successful happy results. Through the years I've had friends tennis players, bike riders who need someone and I send them to Dr Lyons, I have referred him for decades. We have never heard, (I wouldn't even say a bad word) I haven't even heard less than stellar review of the man. You cannot go wrong with Dr Thomas Lyons.

Although many men are uncomfortable talking about prostate health, it's something they should eventually get checked, especially once they reach their mid 40's or if they have a family history of prostate cancer. Unfortunately, the only way to physically perform a prostate check is a digital exam right up the old backside. And I can tell you right now that I was certainly not looking forward to it. Thank goodness for a friend's recommendation to see Dr. Montgomery. Dr. Montgomery is board certified in urologic surgery and sees both male and female patients of all ages. She works out of Ochsner Hospital and her staff almost never runs behind (no pun intended) schedule. In fact, once I check in with the receptionist, I almost always get called to the back at the exact time my appointment is scheduled for. Once in the back, an always friendly nurse gathers my vitals and puts me in my assigned room; and Dr. Montgomery is usually shows up a few minutes later. Dr. Montgomery is very personable and I have never felt rushed while I was seeing her. She is very attentive and takes her time to thoroughly answer any and all questions that you may have. The actual physical examination is done with dignity and there is no need to even don a gown. Furthermore, it is done relatively quickly and with minimal discomfort. And if you ever have to have any blood work done, she is quick to get your results back. Another plus that I enjoy is that she actively monitors her emails via the "My Ochsner" portal and answers them in a very timely fashion. In fact, she answers so timely, that it is a little like getting a "house call". As stated before, Dr. Montgomery sees both male and female patients. So all you guys out there who have a history of prostate cancer in your family, or are at the age where you should get an annual prostate exam, stop procrastinating and get it done. I can absolutely recommend Dr. Montgomery and urge you not to be shy about seeing a female urologist. Her skills and demeanor are second to none, she follows up on all her calls & emails and gets you any lab results in very timely manner. Lastly, and also very noteworthy is that she has very small fingers. And that my friends is very important! But seriously, take care of yourselves and be proactive about your health.

LASIK eye correction surgery. Dr Singer is known throughout the region for being the best at…read moreLasik. I first heard about Dr Singer from my boss and a close friend of mine who both had the surgery done by this Dr. For a few yrs I've been interested in the surgery and recently I finally inquired about it. There are a few companies in the area that specialize in Lasik, but there are so many hidden costs that are not mentioned until it's too late. As advertise by multiple places, $299 an eye is not the actual cost. Expensive exams, medications, Dr visits, and different eye strengths, can cause the price to reach higher then what is in your initial budget. I signed up for the free consultation and met up with the office staff, and I was given a go ahead that my eyes were healthy enough to get the surgery. I was given two options to go with for the surgery but the doctor saw that I may have glaucoma so he told me that the bladeless version of Lasik would be best for me, due to the pressure that would be involved in the surgery. The bladeless surgery is a bit more pricer then the normal Lasik surgery. Dr. Singer knocked off $500 of the price and I decided that since it was only a few dollars passed my budget, I would still be able to get the surgery. On the day of the surgery I went in for 3 o'clock. I was given medication to help me relax and an hour later I was ready for surgery. I was scared out of my mind before the medication kicked in, but once I relaxed I had no worries. The first step of the procedure I was placed on a table for the first part of the surgery which was the part where my the machine is placed on your eye and the pupil is cut. It only took less than a minute for each eye. The staff walked me over to the second table where the flap was folded back and the laser did it's magic. That step only took about 4 minute for each eye. And believe it or not I was finished. The prep time and waiting for the meds to kick in is the reason there is a 3 hr duration. The recovery time for my surgery was only that evening and night. I was given sleeping pills right before I walked out of the doctor's office. By the time I got to my house I was ready for bed. It was extremely recommended that I sleep through the night and that I did. The next morning I awoke and my vision was a bit blurry but that was only because I had transparent bandages on my pupils. The last step for the whole process was to get the bandages off of pupils that I did not even know I had on. I was only told that I had bandages on my pupils when I got them off on this follow-up day right after the surgery. Once they were removed the blurriness that I experienced that morning and immediately after, was gone. My vision correction surgery, was complete. It's been 4 weeks since my Lasik and I am extremely proud of the decision I made to get the surgery, there are no regrets. This is my personal experience with Dr. Singer, of course everyone situation and cost may be different. Money spent..... $150 (for the expensive photos that were needed to be taken for eye health issues. That was my deductible from my health Insurance plan that the doctor was able to use) (LASIK is not covered by any insurance plans) $150 (the eye evaluation after it is determined that I was a candidate) $3150 (Bladeless LASIK...the price for both eyes, but the Dr. gave me $500 off) $418 (medication, $210 eye drops, $192 for eye drops, and $16 for sleeping pills, but with the coupons that the doctor gave me at the pre-op, my medication cost ended up being only $50. (Please get those coupons!!) My current vision should last 10+ yrs depending on my aging process. I've had not one problem since the surgery. If I have to get my eyes corrected again, I will definitely be back to Dr Singer.

She…read moremisdiagnosed my mother for an eye disease and treated her with high doses of steroids, which took a major toll on her overall health. I had a chance to meet her at what wound up being my moms last doctors appointment with her. I couldn't understand how the numbers she based my moms plan of care on seemed to fluctuate and her biopsy was inconclusive yet she was treated so aggressively. Dr VIves was very defensive and it didn't sit well with me that her doctor seemed to not take my mom's health all that seriously. When we got a second opinion, the doctor was unsure that my mom had the disease but highly recommended coming off the steroid. At about the same time my mom asked Dr Vives to be placed on a different medicine and Dr Vives obliged. Unfortunately for my mother, she was told the incorrect dose, which after a matter of weeks ate at my mothers colon and she now has an ostemy bag. A year after being treated and being weaned off the medicine she placed her on, my mom shows no signs of having the disease that started this all off. It breaks my heart constantly that this woman, who appears over worked and under staffed (with all the patients it appears she can afford to hire more help) treated my moms health so carelessly like she was just a number or maybe even just a dollar. It concerned me the number of kids she saw. If you decide to see this doctor or are seeing this doctor, make sure you get a second opinion ASAP. I personally can't say anything nice about her from my experience and I'd give her zero stars if I could. KKi
