I had been getting the run around by UMCNO and decided to come here when I had enough. The ED is a little dated, but the triage unit is super quick. After that, the wait is questionable. Other than that, all of the nurses I’d encountered, from triage to floor, were so sweet and caring. They took my issues seriously and helped to get me on the right track to proper medical care, not unlike the gross incompetence and lack of care from that ‘other’ facility.

I had a horrible experience at Touro ER on Prytania so when I was concerned that I was having some kind of reaction to my medication or that I was severely dehydrated after experiencing that prior, I knew I should try a different ER. I decided on oschner for its location, but I’m so glad and so thankful to this emergency room. After a horrible experience at Touro they were not only excellent physicians and staff who knew what to do, they were also extremely empathetic, kind, calming, reassuring, and just wonderful. I not only felt physically better after leaving, but all the damage from my experience at Touro felt a little less traumatic thanks to talking with the staff at Oschner. From the nurses to the women who checked me in, everyone was incredibly perfect and for such an awful physical experience I’m glad I now know if there’s an emergency again that I can go to Oschner without the added stress and worry of what the care might look like.
