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.

However, I am happy with dr Walsh- he did a good job, spends time and makes you feel listened to. He is a good doctor. Unfortunately I would literally never recommend him because his office staff is insufferable. The nurse who was in surgery with him is fine, but the additional nurses in office, and worse yet, the young woman who sits at the desk are terrible. I have had 3 office visits since my surgery and every time I have waited over 30 min past my appointment to be seen. His front desk lady is rude and unhelpful. She has a major trot use problem. That is, if you can actually catch her at her desk and not have to ring the bell 6 times. She ha no patience for questions and is pushy and unapologetic. I also have spent several minutes listening to staff COMPLAIN about pts. Of course this happens, it's not a big deal but do it where patients can't hear you. It's unprofessional. I hope I'm in the clear and never have to suggest myself to that office again. Dr Walsh gets 5 stars. His staff gets 0

Circa 2010, I started experiencing lumbar back pain. I reached out to Dr. Kevin Martinez, formerly…read morewith Parish Pain Specialists but now with Southern Brain and Spine (see my review) and was treated with a level of respect and empathy that truly surprised me. After a series of tests and scans I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and was given treatment options. The treatment of choice was the Epidural Steroid Injection (ESI), and Southern Brain and Spine uses Crescent City Surgical Center for their procedures. The surgical center is owned and operated by a group of local surgeons and Louisiana Children's Medical Center, and is conveniently located in Metairie. Kudos to having their own parking garage. The facility is immaculately clean, state of the art, and has 8 operating rooms and 2 procedure rooms. To say that they provide personalized care is an understatement. From the moment you exit the elevator on the 4th floor reception room, you are courteously greeted and made to feel special; and relaxed, as the staff knows that patients may be anxious and/or nervous. Once you are checked in, a nurse takes you upstairs as a group to the surgical floor, where you will only briefly wait in a waiting room that looks nothing like any hospital waiting room I've ever seen. It is warm and inviting and helps put you at ease. You are escorted in by your pre-op nurse and mine have always been top notch and reassuring. The pre-op nurse takes you to a private curtained room where you change into a standard surgical gown. This is where you review and sign all your consent forms and are hooked up to an I.V. While waiting for the O.R., my doctor and anesthesiologist stopped in to say hello and before you know it, you are being wheeled up to the O.R. Once in the O.R., your surgical team is moving like a well-oiled machine, but a very personable and reassuring team. Once situated on the table, the nurse anesthetist administers you the proper medication and it's lights out in just a few seconds. The next thing you know, you are waking up in recovery from what feels like the greatest sleep ever. Once coherent, the discharge nurse goes over your discharge instructions and gives you a folder with all the documents you signed. You also get a snack and a drink if needed, and they take out your I.V. and allow you to get dressed; with assistance if needed, as it's not recommended to get up unaided. They provide an excellent "to go" goodie bag with chicken noodle soup, chips & cookies and a bottle of water. Lastly, they ensure that you have a ride, since no driving is allowed, and they wheel you down to your awaiting ride. If you've never been here before, you'll get a get-well card in the mail from your team. This is personalized care at its best. Lastly, I'd like to give a shout out to all the people who have cared for me on my many visits here. Apologies for not remembering them all. Reception: Patricia Pre-Op nurses: Melissa (several times), Stacy, Jessi, Patti & Lauren O.R. nurses: Ernie Radiology techs: Barry, Blair & Lauren Nurse anesthetist: Becky (at least twice), Kathleen & Candace Post-Op/Discharge nurses: Janet, Anna, Erika, Donna & Victoria I could go on and on about the team here, as they are all truly top notch. And no matter who is on your team, you will be taken well care of. Special shout out to Nurse anesthetist Kim, as she manages the group here. She is a master of her craft and moves at the speed of business, all the while being extremely nice. Last and certainly not least is Dr. Kevin Martinez. He is the rock star of the O.R. He has cared for me for over 14 years now and has kept me from having to have an invasive surgery all this time. There is no one better in my opinion. And being part owner of the hospital, he has a vested interest in providing outstanding care, just like everyone else here. Can't recommend this place enough!

Prior to this year I've never needed surgery. Within the course of 7 months, I've had two, and…read moreafter yesterday's horrendous experience at Oschner Main, I now have a basis for comparison and wish ALL my surgical proceedings were handled as professionally, and with as much care as a Crescent City Surgical provided me. Located in Metairie, the facility stands alone with its own parking structure making navigation and convenience a breeze. Patients check in on one floor, and called as a group up to surgery. You are taken up with a nurse, and with others around you, it doesn't seem very scary. The waiting room is clean and spacious and feels like a hotel, not a hospital. More so, once admitted for pre-op intake, each bedding area has windows, allowing for sunrise to illuminate the space. The nurses don't let you wait long before acknowledging and reassuring you, which for a first timer, calmed my nerves tremendously. I only dealt with one dedicated nurse the entire time so I never had to repeat myself. After dressing for surgery, I was introduced to my anesthesiologist who's mature looks put me at ease knowing he had been doing this for a long time. Before I knew it, I was being wheeled back, already deeply relaxed by the IV cocktail. From what I can remember now, the OR was clean, bright and uncluttered with my surgeon at the helm. I maybe only breathed into the gas mask twice before I was out. Upon waking, I felt alert and without pain. My nurse returned to go over discharge instructions and gave me a goodie bag of snacks to get into while they gave me time to wake up. Next we verified I could get myself back from the bathroom on my own, was given my meds and discharged. If I could've chosen where to go for yesterdays procedure I would've gone back to Crescent City Surgical in a heartbeat. Thank you for taking care of me, though I hope I don't ever have to see y'all again anytime soon. :)
