My daughter has been a patient here since she was born and we've had mostly good experiences…read more There are several doctors on staff and there's been a little turnover over the years, but not much. She has a primary pediatrician, but she's seen lots of doctors, as not everyone is in every day. I'd have to say that's my biggest complaint. I realize that it's a clinic, but there are times I'd like for her to be able to see the same doctor. The care we've received from the doctors has been good, although we had one visit a few years ago that still stings. Poor bedside manner from a doctor she only saw once, and unfortunately she was very sick at the time. Care was decent - just a really nasty personality when we both just needed some compassion. But I digress.... These days the wait isn't long at all and the front desk is friendly. I honestly think the practice has gotten better over time. The nurses are always friendly and I like that there's a computer in each exam room with all my daughters up to date information at their fingertips. One more big plus - the myOchsner website. You can communicate with the doctors and nurses online, and best of all - the system works well. I've always received prompt responses from this clinic's staff.

On the occasion that Dr. Barbara is unavailable, we have seen the other physicians in the group and loved them all. Dr. Barbara is knowledgeable, professional, and has an incredible charm that the kids love. His nurses and other office staff are always welcoming, accommodating, and very helpful. I cannot tell you how many times they've fit me in last minute to make things work with our crazy schedules- so very thankful for their willingness and dedication to help. Dr. Barbara will always be our first choice in caring for our children! For the very best, go to Metairie Pediatrics you won't be disappointed!!

It's nauseating. I pray he grows as a person and as a doctor, because it's very disappointing that he can't even listen to reasons of well-informed parents and work with them for caring for their child. He was not even my doctor but took it upon his arrogant self to "dismiss me" 1 day postpartum (still in the hospital) from "his practice" because I didn't want vaccines. Even though MY doctor had spoken to me and was okay with everything. I had printed out my reasons and he did not even care to read why or hear me out as to why. If I didn't love Jesus, I would've liked to have shredded him with my words. He should be ashamed of himself.

No reviews for Dr. Collins Pediatrics? I'm actually surprised…read more Ever since my Lia was a few hours old, I've trusted Dr. Collins for everything. He was recommended by my OB, and I'm so glad I listened to her. He came to visit Lia right after her birth at Tulane-Lakeside, and we've been taking her to his office for the well baby visits ever since. He, along with the other doctors on staff, is so patient, understanding, smart, and great with kids. When we first started visiting Dr. Collins, we lived in Metairie. Now that we're on the Westbank, there are probably hundreds of pediatricians located closer than Old Metairie... but oh well, I'll drive across the river in order to give my daughter the best. They have a uniquely decorated waiting room, complete with a toy room, books and toys in the exam rooms, plus giant mirrors adjacent to the exam tables, which are great for entertaining toddlers. The doctors will answer any questions, no matter how silly, without sounding condescending. The nurses are great at giving needles as quickly and painlessly as possible. Oh, and the sugar free lollipops at the end of the visit are a nice touch. While they don't accept credit cards at the office for payment, they do apparently have a PayPal account that you can pay online with. PayPal! I've only done it once, but that is super convenient - especially for internet junkies like myself.

The first three weeks of my son's life were spent in Children's Hospital's NICU, and we were by his…read moreside 14-16 hours a day. Spending that much time gave us the opportunity to become intimately familiar with all of the neonatologists and NICU nurses. When we were asked who would be our child's pediatrician, we were clueless. We started inquiring with all of our son's doctors and nurses to see if they could make a recommendation. Although it was not totally politically correct to make recommendations, they were happy to let us know who they used as their pediatrician. Keith Collins was by far the overwhelming choice by all of the doctors and nurses I spoke with, and since these neonatologists and nurses had practically saved my son's life, we immediately chose him for our son's pediatrician. Within 2 minutes of our very first visit, we knew we had made an excellent choice. Dr. Collins was extremely personable and very down to Earth; and spent a great deal of time with us getting to know our son's already extensive medical history. Keith Collins is a "local boy" and was Valedictorian of De La Salle High School's class of 1987. He graduated from Boston University in biomedical engineering in 1991 and worked as a computer programmer for 5 years before returning to school and receiving his medical degree from LSU in 2000. After finishing his pediatric residency at LSU in 2003, he joined a group practice in Metairie; and in April 2005 he started Collins Pediatrics. Collins Pediatrics is located at 2017 Metairie Road and now has a second location in Lakeview near Robert E. Lee and West End Blvd (7211 Regent St. Suite B). He has a hand selected staff of four female pediatricians that have all been personally trained by him. Therefore, no matter which doctor you see, you can rest assured that they are all giving you the best of care, which is equal to the same care you would get from Dr. Collins himself. I can personally say that I have seen every doctor on his staff several times and speak from first hand experience. Dr. Collins wonderful pediatricians are Doctors Heather Porsche, Gabrielle Glasgow, Suzy Kingston and Lauren Hernandez. I will review these pediatricians in a separate review as there is simply not enough allowed space in one review. Doctor Collins is a father of 6 children and each of his pediatricians are mothers to their own kids. Therefore,they can relate to how we feel as parents. Every one of his physicians are local New Orleanians and have strong ties to the community. They are a young staff of talented doctors and will be here for a long time. Therefore, you don't have to worry about any of them retiring any time soon, and you can rest assured that your child will have the same group of pediatricians until he/she reaches adulthood. They are very patient in answering questions and explaining anything and everything that you may want to know regarding your child's medical care. The nurses are also in a class of their own and were also hand selected by Dr. Collins, which is just another testament to his great judge of character. They are very friendly and quickly gained our son's trust. They give shots and/or vaccinations so quickly that our little one barely knew what happened before it was all over, he had a band aid on the injection site and was handed a lollipop for being so "brave". The exam rooms (7 or so on Metairie Rd) and the entire office are impeccably clean as it the waiting room; which has enough toys and puzzles to keep your kid occupied until it is time to go to the back. I can't say enough good things about Keith Collins or Collins Pediatrics, but we are blessed to have him and his team as our pediatricians. If your child is already a patient, you know what I'm talking about. However, if you are looking for a pediatrician, look no further, as you cannot do any better. On a separate and side note, please keep Dr. Collins in your prayers as he is facing a significant medical challenge of his own, and his story can be followed on Caringbridge.org, which is regularly updated by his incredible wife Jennifer. Just remember that every one of his pediatricians was personally trained by him, so Collins Pediatrics will continue to give your child the same excellent care that they've always been given. I believe in the power of prayer and look forward to Dr. Collins' return to regular practice. In the meantime, I will "KEEP CALM" and pray that they "CURE KEITH".

They treat children up to 19. Dr. Zander had to push my youngest out. He told him, "I love seeing how you've grown into a young man, but now at 19 with all that facial hair, you must find a big-boy doctor." It has been a great experience. NOW ... I'm raising my grandson who is seeing Dr. Hudson. He is a GREAT DOCTOR! I don't know what I'd do if he relocated to another practice; I guess follow him. My grandson LOVES DR. HUDSON. For some reason, he connects with males. I'd know because maw-maw here is worn thin till paw-paw gets home! Dr. Hudson is great with all children, but my grandson is really a handful with lots of emotional challenges and Dr. Hudson is patient with "hard" children.
