ASK AHEAD OF TIME FOR PRICE TRANSPARENCY FOR SURGERIES. I had a difficult surgery in late October,…read moreand I just received a bill in MAY for a balance from LOS Anesthesia Services. They charged my insurance $2,527 for anesthesia! That is outrageous! NO anesthesia is worth that amount. It's no wonder insurance premiums are ridiculous. Our healthcare system/charges really need to be investigated. The level of "care" does not justify the astronomical charges. I also have mixed feelings about my experience with this place.

I should have read the reviews before trying to see any MD here…read more There is definitely a problem with scheduling; will never know about the quality of the MD's. After a run a round trying to get an appointment, I delayed an out of town trip to see a MD here. I encountered a traffic delay on the way. I called to let them know I was running late and about 5 minutes away. Upon arrival and waiting for the receptionist to finish up with someone else, then told my appointment was cancelled because I arrived over 15 minutes late. The next appointment 2 weeks away. I was 19 minutes late because I passed up the place and parked next door to rush in. I had to wait for the receptionist to finish with others. I got the run around again trying to find out the person I talked with about my delay. (Unknown.) If I would not have called ahead of time I might understand why my appointment was cancelled. Is the wait for your appointment Never beyond 15 minutes? The office was packed and I am certain the MD was not just "waiting" for me to arrive without seeing patients. Reading some of the other negative ratings because of long wait times and seeing the number of patients in the waiting area, I doubt this practice keeps up with the appointment times made. If any patient waits longer than 15 minutes for their appointment is it expected they will walk out and cancel their appointment? The inner workings of this practice have much to be desired to run a Professional practice. A patient's time is just as valuable as the doctors. A cancelled appointment and 2 weeks to see a MD for an injury is not acceptable. I will not use this practice for my medical needs.

Never would I refer any person to LOS Montgomery & staff.

I saw the one previous review of Dr. Montgomery and it wasn't review a review for him but rather a…read morecomplaint about a front desk clerk. So with that said, I will give my review. First off, I was an active athlete most of my life which included most high school sports. I was also a semi-professional motorcycle racer and due to that, I probably had a few more broken bones and severe injuries than the average Joe. I'm certainly not creeping up on Evil Kinevil numbers but I have had well over half a dozen surgical orthopedic procedures. First off, Dr. Montgomery is a fantastic orthopedic surgeon of which I know many friends and relatives who have had knee, hip and shoulder surgeries. Nobody I know has ever questioned his ability as a surgeon and about being a dam good one at that. If he has a shortcoming, it would be that some say he doesn't have the best "bed side" empathy but personally I have never had an issue. One thing I will also applaud him for is that he isn't anxious to put patients under the knife and will try therapy, cortisone and time to heal with a conservative approach to medicine. If after a period it isn't healed or is worse and he is confident of the diagnosis then rest assured if you go into surgery he will get you fixed up. If he can't, most likely it will be difficult to find someone who can. His resume includes the Ragin Cajun athletic teams as well as most all of the local high schools which go to him for student injuries. I wouldn't hesitate to send my wife or kids there. I hope you never need an orthopedic doctor but if you do I highly recommend Dr. Montgomery.

This review is more directed towards Dr Drew's head nurse. I scheduled an appointment weeks ago,…read morewas never told that I was seeing a PA. I get there this morning and was told that I was scheduled with the PA so I asked if Dr Drew was available. The receptionist called in the nurse who came in with a diary of the number of times she called me down to the second and boy did she reiterate the fact that I didn't answer. From the word go, she starts playing the blame game. I was actually stunned at how she presented me with "receipts " of the 2 attempts she made to contact me. Prior to this appointment I spoke to that office twice and at no time was I told that I would be seeing a PA. It is just so insensitive to just come out swinging blaming a patient It is unfortunate because from the reviews it seems he is probably a good doctor. His staff, namely, his "head" nurse leaves much to be desired. I was disappointed with not being able to see him, but would have probably still saw the PA because I had been suffering for months, waiting for weeks for the appointment, took off work, and driven a considerable distance. But this nurse completely turned me off, just smug with nothing to offer but indifference and "receipts "......down to the second.
