The staffs are friendly. I like the convenient that they are right next door to a local family own pharmacy that we can get our meds at one stop instead of driving to Wal-Mart and wait forever to get our prescription filled.

I had a huge panel of tests to take that required an overnight fast for 10 hours. I had also been…read moresent home with some DIY tests that I was asked to bring with and turn in to the lab upon arrival. (stool test-ew!!) While I knew the lab was across the street from Main Campus, I did make one wrong turn before I found where I was supposed to go. They could really use numbers on the buildings to help navigate people. There was only a half dozen people in the waiting area in a huge space that could easily hold hundreds. I checked in at the main desk with two friendly, kind and communicative women. All of my check ins with receptionists have all been positive, and informative/helpful. I completed my urinalysis collection on site and waited to be called. I turned in all my DIY tests and sat to have my blood drawn. I verified my information about a hundred times, but it also helped distract me from the needle. No one likes needles, really. I had 5 vials taken and when she was wrapping up my arm she chose a teal tape to match my shirt. On the previous Monday, the phlebotomist picked pink to also match my shirt. It's the little things that go a long way to make us feel human, rather than a number. Again, I was in and out in no time and felt that I was on the right path to taking care of my own health.

LOCATION NOTE: Dr. Bowers is now part of the Family Doctors practice, located at West Jefferson…read moreMedical Center in Marrero; he no longer practices at this location in New Orleans East. I've never really enjoyed going to doctors offices. You have to make the appt waaaaaay in advance, fill out a ton of paperwork, and then seemingly wait forever while the doctor meets with you for all of 90 seconds. When I moved back to NOLA, I decided to try and find a doctor which bucked that trend. I did my research online and found this guy through the GLMA website. I called and made an appointment for a new patient. It was a 1.5 month wait which was actually better than I expected based on my experience with doctors in the DC area/Montgomery County. Anyways, Dr. Bowers and his staff were patient, compassionate, and listened to my questions and concerns. I really liked how nothing felt rushed and I was able to get all the information I needed. His nurse was really nice and helpful as well, advising me on the best way to book appointments in the future when I needed them (I'm sooooo bad with names, otherwise I'd mention it). I also like how, like many other practices, they send prescriptions electronically, so there is one less piece of paper to lose. I'm really happy to have finally found a PCP that I'm comfortable with and isn't a total PITA to access, even when you take into account the drive over the CCC (ugh).

He is easy to talk to and I never feel like I can't be honest and say what I am feel no matter if it is embarrassing. If you need a family doctor Dr. Bowers will fill that need.

I have been on the phone with billing numerous times, I even sent a letter requesting reimbursement, but this department has never confirmed when a reimbursement check will be issued. It is now June 3rd and I have not received confirmation that a check is in the mail to me. DR. FRIEDMAN DESERVES FIVE STARS. THE ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT DESERVES NONE.

Many people entrust their care with Dr. Lee. I had an amicable doctor/patient with her. Then , one…read moreday, I confided in her that I was under the care of a psychiatrist. Oh, my goodness! One would believe that I had told her the world was spinning in the opposite direction. After that episode, Dr. Lee rarely saw me. On October 6th, I was supposed to see the LPC in the office. When I was sitting quietly in the waiting room, Dr. Lee asked me to come to the back. I knew what was coming and I pleaded to her to just let me leave, but she insisted on me coming to the back office. I really wanted to leave because suffering with a severe episode of Major Depressive Disorder, I knew that I would feel as though I was alone in the world. Well, my fear came true. She told me that I was a misfit and that she was no longer going to see me. I hit rock bottom and I had told her that my death was going to be on her hands. Did she care that I became suicidal? NO. When I left, she issued a PEC on me. It wasn't because she cared about me, she felt guilty!!!!! She wanted to see me one more time after I was released from the hospital. A friend came with me and even though I wanted to turn around, she told me to go. After the MA, did all of my vitals, she discovered that my blood pressure was over 180/?. Dr. Lee was talking to me and I couldn't even look at her. Then she mentioned how dangerously high my BP was and I replied to her,"Well aren't you lucky. Maybe I will have a stroke or heart attack and die!" I left her office while my friend stayed to talk with her. They came out to the Community Room and I stayed in the waiting room. After several minutes, Dr. Lee came out to take my BP. I still couldn't look at her and I told my friend that I was leaving. When I left, I couldn't lift my head and I walked out saying,"Why? You do not give a damn." She asked me to come back so she could take my BP and I replied, " You don't give a damn and I will never forget how much you have hurt me nor will you ever see me again." I have never hurt anyone either physically or emotionally. She assumed that just because I had a mental condition that I was dangerous. I advise anyone with a mental or an emotional problem to STAY AWAY FROM DR. CHRISTINE E. LEE. She will throw you away like trash.
