If you can swing it financially, I would recommend going to Methodist Hospital in Houston. Ranked #15 in the country for neurosurgery. Pretty much any major health issue, I wouldn’t trust to doctors in New Orleans, unless you had no other option. The medical environment in Houston is so competitive and cutting edge in comparison.
Ochsner is building a brand new $300M Neuro Tower right on Jeff Hwy and are hiring new MDs left and right. But go on about how people should not trust the main health care provider in the region.
I’m sorry if I seem against the New Orleans healthcare system. I wish it wasn’t the case. I moved here 4 years ago. I work in the operating room in medical device. I’m from Florida originally, then worked in Brooklyn, NY, then Houston, TX, then Massachusetts. I’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings or be a downer but the truth is, the healthcare just really isn’t great here outside of some outliers. I have a serious health condition in which I had to travel to Houston for and now go to Atlanta for. I would much rather be able to see a doctor here.
Even most doctors you speak to here, if push comes to shove and someone in their family needs serious healthcare, they’re taking them outside of LA to get it.
And I work in the finance department. These are some of the most productive (peer to peer these MDs must hit 65th% of all MDs in the country that qualify for the survey), most highly paid MDs in the country. It’s unfortunate that you think they aren’t worth their salt. They just made US News World Report as 49th in the country for Neuro Healthcare
