Since moving to Louisiana over 10 years ago, I have struggled with trying to find a Primary Care…read morePhysician that I could connect and work with for my lifetime. After meeting with Dr. Cestia & his nurse Dawn, I finally feel like I was listened to and spoken to on a level I can understand and meet him in the middle on my health care needs. He didn't hurry me or placate me with trying me on this or that trial medication. Nor did he start giving me suggestions on other doctors that I should go to based on my health care concerns due to their specialties. So many times I've found that doctors are doctoring to make lots of money or too afraid TO doctor based on restrictions placed on them by insurance or government. I cannot thank this doctor and staff enough for seeing me as a human being just wanting to be well so I can be a better person to other people that are counting on me.

The nurse I saw ranked the worst ever in attitude and questioned why I needed to use the bathroom during the exam. I arrived ready to provide a sample but when she said she didn't need one, I had to TCB. She was aptl absolutely awful. The lab tech who was very experienced and obviously good at her job, was sweating out loud "God damnit" because she rushed through the tests and realized she'd forgot one. Doc was also not on his game today either - forgetful and not well prepared for our appointment. The facility feels old and dingy - it's just not a positive and healthy environment for positive and healthy people. it's really sad that the healthcare system is so bad in this city and state. Thinking it's time to change things up.

Her office staff in the last year has changed and is awful, incompetent, lies about documents being faxed or completed.

I found Ochsner Lafayette Doctor and Nurse Practitioner so I scheduled an appointment. I was seen by Nurse Practitioner who was very nice and made better treatment recommendations of which I was willing to try. They decided to review my Thyroid Medication for possible changes and would inform me. They never communicated of any changes. I later was introduced to the Doctor who ready didn't speak much then left he seemed uninterested. I was told that a staff member would explain the instructions how to proceed with new medication applications. Staff member entered showed me equipment and provided me with Pamphlet and told me to read then left. Never provided verbal instructions. I really felt horrible but was willing to follow up with the next appointment with Diabetes Education. Next appointment I met with her and found that she was very interested in learning about my eating habits and how she could assist me with any concerns. She was informed of my 1st visit concerns and brought in the Doctor to address them. The Doctor listened and stated he would speak to the Staff member then left the meeting 3 separate times indicating he had an emergency with a patient having Surgery and Left never returned. Once again uninterested. A couple of days later I was reviewing my Medications and noticed that I was had to request some refills. I called my Private Insurance Company Pharmacy to inquire about any refills they had available and was informed that I needed to contact my Endocrinologist to write New Prescriptions plus request refills as well. I called 4 individuals Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, Nurse, Diabetes Educator with no avail. I left messages for returns calls with no return call received. I went to online Ochsner Patient Portal and found that you can't send messages to them directly. Because they are not listed on the Patient Portal as part of my Care Team. "Non-Existed ". Patient Portal options available were E-Visit, Virtual Doctor Visits charging my Insurances, Scheduling Appointment. I couldn't request my refills online either. It was unable to process at this time. " Dangerous Placement ". Eventually I got my dearest friend to drive me the Clinic to address my concerns with someone directly. The receptionist told me 2x that I had to have an appointment to speak to someone about my concerns. By this time I was very upset and I informed her that concerns don't need an appointment. She then wanted me to give my explanation to her instead. Since there were several waiting Patients in the waiting area I didn't want everyone to know what I had to say. But she insisted so I put them on Blast in front of everyone there. She then decided to find me someone quickly instead. I was taken to another area inside and addressed my concerns with another Staff member who I remember speaking to by Phone. She asked other Staff members if the ever received a call from me and they responded NO. But instead stated that the Nurse called and left a message Which was clearly not true at all since I don't delete voicemail messages. I other words I was now portrait as a "Liar and Embarrassed". I offered my Cell Phone for review but she refused see my call log and voicemail for the Truth. Since I am a Senior Citizen with plenty of serious Medical Health issues I can't understand why many of us are only seen as cash cows with no value to society. It is disrespectful, inhumane, immoral and totally unacceptable. REMINDER: Individuals that have decided to engaged in the Medical Profession are sworn before God and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to do what is righteous for Humanity.

I'm pretty aggravated. I was ordered to go to this place by my ENT doctor and I called this place…read moreto confirm if my orders were sent out there and if they received it yet. They told me yes they got it and they will call me later on that day or the next day. It's been a total of 4 days. Nothing from them. So I called them and the response they gave me was sorry they can't take me cause they accept insurance only. I don't have insurance but I'm willing to pay the price anyways. Anyways, I called my ENT place and they said they contacted Dr. Fontenot very recently and said he was more than happy to take me in. I called back to this place and the person was like "Oh I already shredded your order, you'll need to get your ENT place to fax it over again. OH AND the three biopsies are 700 dollars." It's like they don't want to deal with me or anything. WELL, f**k you guys too. IN SEARCH OF GOOD DOCTORS AND CARING PEOPLE! MESSAGE ME UP PLEASE.

My review is from the perspective of an Intern. I rotated at LGMC for 6 weeks and I loved everyday…read moreI was there. The food here is soooo good for cafeteria food! And let me tell you, it's cheap. Like really cheap. The breakfast here is cheaper than going to McDonald's! Bacon, sausage, pancakes, biscuits, French toast, eggs, loaded eggs, breakfast sandwiches, they have it all! You can get a heavy breakfast for about $2! Seriously. So cheap. Lunch here is also cheap as well, for you can get a full meal for less than $5. I've eaten at other hospital cafeterias before and none are as affordable as LGMC. This is critical for loved ones visiting their sick family members. You're being hit with an expensive hospital bill - you shouldn't have to shell out $10+ for nourishment. The nurses are very knowledgeable and the ICU team is great. The pharmacy is the best - brilliant minds up there, seriously. I hope I won't have to come here often to visit or as a patient, ever - but I surely will stop by now and again for that breakfast!
