REVIEWS OF Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport IN Louisiana

Susan Leigh

Worst experience of my life !!!! My 87 year old Dad and I waited for over 11 hours to be seen We arrived at 1 PM ..triage at 3pm with a ditsy nurse who answered a personal call during my exam. My BP was 183 over 75 .. I take 2 BP pills daily ... I told her that was high ...she replied no it isn't . In fact it is . My BP never runs that high. I was not feeling well and needed to see a Dr. For a meniscus tear in my knee ...shortness of breath.. And hernias ... over and over I was told you are next ... well finally the TRUTH was..the hospital was full there were no beds in Er available either. If HONESTY AND INTEGRITY of staff had of told me this I could have avoided raising pain scale...and gone home hours earlier This is the WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD....

I have to say there are good Drs and bad. I had gallbladder surgery, by the time I had it I had total blockage and in pain all & everyday!months later, I had to go to ER. Nurse and dr was both more worried about getting off and smoking a cig. Dr didn't do a exam on me at all!! Or blood tests, just gave me a script for naporsyn!! That it the worst thing anyone with possible liver or pancreas problem could take!?!? It will cause a severe attack. I was a nurse for 15 yrs in ER! They think everyone is there for drugs!!!! Or we're stupid!! Clinic Drs are the best but those in the ER and hospital have become jaded and lazy!! And forget there are still descent people who go there!! I got an appointment 3 months away!! I pray I don't die first!!

After my visit yesterday 2/20/19 I would highly recommend anyone even if as big of a coward as myself to be seen by Dr. JUSTIN as he introduced himself to me. Dr. Justin, treated me with much respect, kindness, & concern & answered all my questions that I had. He showed me outstanding abilities in the work he preformed in the removal of my top teeth. Thank you Dr. Justin for showing me I have no fear while being under your care. I appreciate you more than words can describe. Thank you, Terry King

Teresa Hebert

I wish I could give it a zero rating. My husband was recently an in patient on The K wing. I really don’t know where to start. Other than the doctors the nursing staff is a joke. So much goofing off, being loud and so unprofessional. The rooms are so cramped, no chairs. My husband was a serious fall patient and getting anyone to come help him was almost impossible. The food is deplorable,when it arrives. Everything seems so unorganized. I’ve never been in such a filthy facility. If you’re admitted for testing are observation, expect nothing. You won’t be disappointed then.

Robert Oliver

Care here is great, but getting an appointment is next to impossible. My wife just got off the phone with them after being on hold for over an hour and a half. This is the third call on which she was on hold for over an hour. The first two times no one ever answered. Today after an hour and a half someone picked up, got some information from her, put her on hold for another twenty minutes and did not come to the phone. Their appointment scheduling needs to be looked into as it is the worst I have ever seen at any hospital facility.

Cecelia Dawnnette Autry

I came in with symptoms of food poison my pain at a level ten for everything. They had been telling people for the whole day no beds were available and one lady had been waiting to be seen for about 12 hour's. My mother went to the front desk at the emergency room to ask a few questions and to get a little knowledge on the situation as of why no rooms were available. The lady lied to my mother and told her that they had rooms available and were getting ready to start calling people back. I would not recommend LSU medical for anything above a level 2. They do not have good patient care.

Sharon Alysse

DO NOT go to this hospital. I have been to about 20 different hospitals and this one is THE WORST. They take three hours for EVERYTHING. They give you incorrect meds. they tell you one thing and they do something entirely different, and take three hours doing it! How the hell do you take three hours to GET SOMETHING WRONG?! Incompetant, SLOW, AWFUL HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!

Paula Peckmore

This place has the rudest staff that I have ever encountered. I brought my mom there for an appointment and we were ignored numerous times or spoken too like we were deaf and didn't understand English. We waited over 6 hours for her appointment. There is no parking either. If you have a choice, I do not recommend this facility.

Victoria Wright

Nice

Robbie Ballance

My son was transferred to LSU / University health being referred for a pulmonary specialist they told us we weren't needing/ or going to seeing any specialist they didn't read his medical records that were forwarded gained over a pound in fluid even after we stated that his fluids had been cut. They didn't listen to the parents not until we're had the head of the nursing staff come in the nurses did better but the doctors were not listening wasn't until I started demanding and getting second opinions on everything to get anything done.

Luke The Savage

Very caring Doc., Nurse an Staff

Samir Padolina

No free parking for visitors only for staff.

David Daniels

The emergency room was very basic. The restroom was filthy. No paper towels . Urine and blood on walls and floor. Went up to rooms and several public restrooms didn't have toilet paper, paper towels, or soap. Floor was nasty and some toilets backed up. ALL TOILETS, was so bad, one wouldn't want to touch. Staff was plentiful and very friendly. Wasn't much work being done, though. Mostly sleeping in corners or sitting, visiting with one another. They mainly discussing how they wished time would speed up and end shift.

Cynthia Mays

I went to this facility for a year for my reconstructive surgery process. Every staff member that I came in contact with provided me with excellent customer service! They even provided follow-up feedback.

Alexis Walker

Been waiting for someone to answer the phone for an hour

Sharon Dixon

Stanley Lofton

All doctors have been good and icu was great. Then moved to seventh floor and what a mess. The nurses are rude and loud using profanity. Used needles was left laying on table in room. Patient was in wet sheets and nurse wanted her to stay on them since the patient was leaving for an mri. Hospital itself has tons of issues. Electrical problems were an issues and overall cleanliness of hospital is a joke. It is a shame that a place built to help people is so horrible. I’ll be praying for changes.

Andrew Price

Wonderful hospital with an amazing staff. Everyone was concerned about my well-being.I was there for 3 weeks! The doctors are good, but the nurses were the shining stars...especially in the Neuro ICU!

Anna Morris

My daughter is in the 1st trimester of pregnancy and started having issues. Went to ER and was told to follow up with LSU in 48 hours or sooner if continues or worsens. They also gave her paperwork to take with her so she can be seen immediately. Her issues have progressed to dangerous and after sitting at LSU for 3 hours they inform her that she is a walk in and they will get to her when they can and they refused to accept the paperwork she had from the other hospital.You would think that under these circumstances it would be an emergency not a walk in. The only reason they get even 1 star is because it will not let me post without it!!

James Larkins

I waited 4 1/2 hours in EMERGENCY to see a doctor. I was in so much pain. I was an emergency room my lord

Azelin Fountain

Debbie Upshaw

My husband had heart by-pass surgery at LSU in Sept., 2014. He received excellent care and we were very well treated by everyone there. I applaud everyone who cared for him and thank you all so much. The only thing I can think of that would have made our stay better was if there could be a coffeepot or coffee machine for the public on every floor, so you don't have to traipse down to the 3rd floor or the basement to fetch coffee. I don't drink it, but my husband the patient wanted it on demand.

Dorothy Woolsey

Thank you for saving my sons life. Your team of doctors took him to surgery in the middle of the night, after Highland hospital kicked him out. Dr Charles Knight refused to do any thing for him. You hopital has been great and excelent after care too! Thank you again.

Phil Summers

Staff is great, waiting time is torture

David Jara

Nightmare. People will watch you suffer. Mother got hip surgery and had to use the bathroom, so she got up and couldn't get back in bed. These people watched her struggle, crying, to get herself back in bed - a little woman who has barely functioning hips. Disgusting.

stefan loga

It's to bad you can't give zero stars. The wait time at this place is just torture. They seriously need figure something out and get some management in this place that will expedite the process. If you have private insurance do not go to lsu. End of story.

Brianna Williamson

Absolutely disgusting environment. Unsanitary. Completely filthy! Unprofessional and rude staff. I will be scheduling my appointments elsewhere. The healthcare standards in Louisiana are absolutely frightening and are similar to that if a third world country.

Mecia Ruffin

This has been the worst experience I have ever had at an ER. I spent almost 2 hours waiting and in pain. I am from Houston;15x the population here in Shreveport. In Houston, I would have been seen and taken care of by now. Instead, I am back at home, hoping I don't die in front of my daughters tonight. 2 HOURS AND ALL I HAVE IS A WRISTBAND WITH TODAY'S DATE, MY NAME AND DOB. NEVER AGAIN!

Keshia Holmes

The young ladies act like the need fiber the way the move ...you already sitting all day another thing TRY not to be so rude because when I seen you outside you start waving but inside you treated me LIKE Willie foo foo.AND THE STATE NEED TO BAND CELLPHONE USAGE WHILE AT WORK IN THE HOSPITAL. WORST PLACE EVER.

Nisreen Hajaj

My mother came in last night with flu like symptoms. In a time of the year where flu cases are on the rise, you would think an ER physician would at least test the patient for the flu so the the CDC gets the right statistics of flu cases, but no! ER doctor didn't bother. He just told her to take Tylenol. He didn't even think that her vomiting was something to connect any dots with. Very disappointed. We have had better care at this hospital.

Gary M. Rinehart

Not very attentive

Super Kristen

Despite the lengthy wait, this place takes good care of patients.

Starting Over

University Health saved my child's life after a Traumatic Brain Injury. #1 at Trauma.. The hospital turned around completely after Privatization for the better!!!

Danielle Walker

Christine Johnson

I am giving only 2 stars because the backroom staff was very professional and very nice! however it took us and many others so long to be put in a room it's no joke! we arrived at the ER at 3:30pm did not get called back until 9:30pm! then we didn't leave that room until 12:30am. They are wonderful in the back but not sure if sitting there that long is worth it! especially when we had our kids with us.What they need to do is have a chart instead of bouncing around on patients getting only who they want back there it should be a order 1st person that walks in should be 1st person to be seen not someone who got there after. I can understand for more severe patients like someone's bleeding out etc those kind of patients yeah I can understand them going before us. But there was non life threatening patients going before a baby who had 100 degree fever.

L Grissom

Sunday and the hospital barely busy. I am here with my grandmother, who is suffering with severe abdominal pain the check in Nurse mark her stress pain a 3. We didnt know until everyone before us was admit to the back to see the doctor. She is sitting down bending over. My grandmother is 79 years old and explain to the nurse how severe her pain was. 2 1/2 hours later I found out because the nurse mark her as a 3. Children and Senior Citizen should be first. Severe Abdominal Pain shouldnt be a 3

michelle moore

LSU is a joke you go any where in that place. You will be treated better at your dogs and cats clinics better than LSU. They give you a run around. But when you need meds they tell you no. When you are in pain. Don't go to the orthopaedic clinic or the general medicine because they don't give a care about anybody's needs and pain. All they want to do is give out advice on things so they can graduated as a doctor.

Jacob Rush

Family member went in for surgery told us to be there for 6 the surgery was scheduled for 9. Family member did not go back till 2:30 which was alright. During the staff acted like they didn't want to tell you anything when they did it was just a lie to get us out there face. Told us nothing when surgery was done. Time management was awful as well. Had to stay on them to finally figure something out. Gladly surgery went well. Will never go back for sure though.

Rose Hargrave-Breaux

In 2008 I received the best care from the neurosurgery team for my major lower back problem. After having fallen down a flight of stairs in late November, the pain is gradually increasing in my back again. Since this is occurring, I am considering going back to LSU Medical for the same excellent care that I received in the past .

Rachel Sheets

Terrible experience. Took me 30 min to find parking. Then when I did I came in and everyone that works there has a major attitude problem... Extremely rude. Have been here all day literally. 8 hours and still no discharge papers. I just don't get it I seen the doctor 2 hours ago. Then when I pushed the button for the nurse he came in here very angry and said what do you want. I told him that I was ready to leave and asked him what was taking so long? He shut the door and as he walked out told his coworkers she's crazy!! Yes I am for ever deciding to come here!! If I didn't have a broke foot I would have been gone for sure!!!

Desmond Perkins

It is a very different place than the old University health. The staff is much improved and the young doctors are the best in Shreveport. Finally we have another choice in North Louisiana for healthcare.

Stand Mccray

bring a sneaker bar and a good book you not going anywhere for awhile. but i must add there were a lot of folks in the lobby area that were sick and i do not know how back up they were.

T K

Has to be the most incompetent hospital I’ve ever been to. Staff is rude, they wait til visiting hours to perform tests, Most parking is for employees only, I wouldn’t recommend this hospital to anyone.

Mario Gomez

they take for ever, very little information of what they're going to do or what D F is going on, i hope i never have to go back there again

Jacqueline Sabbath

Alex Mavary

Horrid doctor and staff. We we're told to come an hour before our 9:30 appointment so we arrived at 8:30am. It's now 10:30am and Dr. Michael B. Harper still hasn't arrived. His staff simply says she doesn't know when or "if" he'll be arriving today. We should have gone to Willis Knighton rather than University Health; the service is awful here.

Rae Bae

Waiting room was disgusting. Dirt and trash all over the floor and in some chairs. Bathrooms just as bad. No soap and stalls weren’t clean. I went at 4am had 2 people in front of me wasn’t call back until 3 hours later. My personal room was a little better. Nurse you drew my blood was quick. Very little pain. I wouldn’t recommend this hospital for anyone is pain looking for help.

Regina Gilley

Most imcompetant and disorganized place ever. They Three Stooges could run it better. Never never never ise LSU OB/GYN. If this is how our new generation of doctors is being taught, socialized medical care is already here and being practiced.

Georgianna Venable

These "professionals" are the rudest bunch of prudes I've ever not had the privilege of meeting

Ashley Hay

Always be prepared for a long wait despite your appointment time. The doctors, nurses, and other staff are fabulous, though!

Gregg

Excellent trauma one center.

Janice Fricks

The doctors, residents, or whatever they call themselves suck!!!

Morgan Lentz

Emergency room is a joke. Go anywhere but here. 4 1/2 hours and counting without seeing a doctor. Staff doesn't care about anything. They seemed offended that I valued my own time. If I was dying I would rather spend the last few moments of my life enjoying anything else than possibly save my life at this circus.

K G

Krystle Anderson

charles roberts

Colonostomy. Thank y'all Surgery n all

Ashley Ratcliff

If I could give zero stars I would. They shouldn't even schedule patient appointments because there's always a 3 or more hour wait. There are so many other facilities in the area that give great patient care. THERE'S NO REASON FOR ANYONE TO EVER COME HERE.

Krystal Stevens

Great hospital. They treat you with respect and kindness.

Kenteoki

Waited 8hrs to get seen by even a nurse when i got to the back i did not feel safe at all

Abraham Baker

Great Hospital

Jeannie Hitt

I have never been treated so bad anywhere in my whole life as I did at this place. Had back surgery, could not move , in excruciating pain , they wouldn't help me to the bathroom. Told me i had to do it myself and could not. They kept telling me i needed to shut up, I was bothering the other patents. Ended up having to pee in the bed twice because they wouldn't help me. I will not go back. My dr did not even do the surgery, some other dr that I never ever met before did it and no one could answer any of my questions.

tatyana harris

Tell have a very good staff but they are very very slow about see after you

P D

Insurance billing is a joke - you can meet your contractual health insurance deductible with LSUHSC but University Health wants a deductible as well which is not a part of the insurance contract - BCBS of Louisiana - they will turn you over to a collection agency if you do not pay this second unjustified deductible when you go in for a doctors appointment - horrible company to deal with when it comes to meeting contractual insurance obligations and to get them to rescind their non-contractual extra office visit deductible and turn you over to a collection agency if you don't give in. No wonder why Oscnner's is taking over - you know what they say - "You can't fix stupid" - the chickens are coming home to roost and UH is getting what is deserved - a kick to the curb by Louisiana - good riddance.

Michelle Lambert

Was there this january 25th for back surgery. Got there at 5:30. Went into a holding area with another woman who acted like she owned the hospital. Cussing and being loud. My friend kindly asked if they could keep it down due to my migraine. She called the nurse. They moved her but NOT far enough. Sounded like a chicken coop. Then after 11:30 went back. Got IV's and they explained to me. Another hour goes by. My surgeon and his team were awesome. But 10K recovery was an absolute joke. Two women made it bearable for Night shift Stephanie and Lee Lee. Day shift sucked. I would NOT bring my beloved dog there to have her nails trimmed. Day shift were rude, in compassionate, mean, didn't care. Just SHOULD NOT BE NURSES. Will NEVER go there again. I could tell more but No reason. 10K Day shift nurses just SUCK.

Jessica martin

I had surgery there a couple of years ago and the nurses were very kind to me. I had a great docter also he was very kind and compassionate.

Brian Smith

I Almost died there,just not very good hospital (due to there being plenty of people there working, it's just very poorly mis-managed. )

Christina Smith

Bad motorcycle wreck of a friend caused me to be at the mercy of their waiting rooms... the staff was professional and very caring...

Rebecca

I just had an ear appointment this morning and while there the intern took my tube out of my left ear that was just placed 6 months ago and it was painful. I was told before the surgery to place the t-tube 6 months ago it had to be done under anesthesia because i have too much scar tissue on the ear drum. Then the intern tried to place a new t-tube back in my ear without numbing or anything and was very painful and was unsuccessful at it. After that he looked at me and said i wasn't trying to torture you or anything. I have had ear surgeries since 1996, never have i ever experienced something so traumatizing as that.

Donna Crowder

Went in for a procedure and everyone was great. Other than a little wait time there was no problem.

Tim Johnson

Debra Jones

Worst hospital in the world and yet they get major $$$$ from the State. Took my husband there and he was urinating solid blood. He laid in the ER from 8:00 that am to midnight. We were told to come back if it got worse..How much worse is solid blood in the urine? We drove 2.5 hours home and went back the next day, it was worse. Well not according to the ER. If you are shot, been stabbed, etc then that is the emergency, otherwise don't bother them they have to much other stuff to do? Really, what do they do there.. Sorry but if you are not black - don't bother as 90% of the staff seems to be of the black race. Racism is very real at this hospital. I watched one nurse just be drippy sweet with kindness to all her black patients - when she pulled the curtain back and saw my husband who was white - her tone and mannerisms changed quickly to being rude, abrupt and don't care attitude. Really LSU? shouldn't all patients be treated equally regardless of race - I believe I read that somewhere in your phamplets. Lets practice what you preach and BTW, we had insurance so it was not like we were asking for charity - we could pay for our services. Wont go back there again ever! I have tried to let everyone know how terrible the service was!

Bob Layfield

Great

Ashley Nicole

The wait is extremely ridiculous. My sister was scheduled for surgery at 6am, they didn't call her back until 10:15am! We were advised it was 1 person ahead of her. We go down to the cafeteria which Information said they will serve breakfast until 10:30am. We go down there around 9 and every station is closed. My opinion, it should be at least 1 station still opened.

leslie lauw

Should be zero stars...The rooms have been completely neglected. The paint is old and chipped, floors have hair and dirt waxed over locking it in place, furniture was ripped and uncomfortable, dried blood on the biohazard bin, room t.v. was broken and the wellness lady wheeled in a gaming system which didn’t work due to the scratches on every disc. All of this plus having to walk by armed guards making sure criminals didn't leave their room. I never felt safe and we left as soon as possible. We only went there due to the fact that my son has diabetes and they have a pediatric endocrinologist on staff. I will never bring my son there again. I will drive to Dallas before returning and use my insurance elsewhere.

Donald Johnson

Receiving dock gets plenty of activity, drivers space is limited, so with this stop, patience and coperation they will get you in and out.

Q B

You will not find a worse hospital than this one. From the security to the nurses, you can trust you will experience a level of disrespect no "patient" should ever have to receive In the hospital. Sadly the only thing one can do is hope to gather bits of info. That may possibly help in receiving a diagnosis because you'll never get one from the facility. The only reason this facility is still open is merely because of money. You will hurt here, receive no help, n most times leave in more pain than you were when arriving. As humans, these ppl are terrible.

Clay Fuller

Great staff, but oh my god, they are slow as all get out. Some of the staff will stand and talk instead of getting the patients checked in.

Marco White

It takes all day for them to call you to the back no matter how bad your pain is you gone be waiting

Wes B

WORST HOSPITAL AROUND!! First off no one is in any hurry to attempt to care for patients. Most nurses seem ok, but dr we had on 9th floor kept trying to give my wife medicines that are CLEARLY on her allergy list!! The beds are from like circa 1974, and an old 1970s non flat screen tv all in a small room were they pack 2 patients in!! Save YOURSELF and drive to lady of the lake in Baton Rouge. Well worth the drive!! Or try this place if you really don't care about your LIFE!!

Doreen Acord

I'm here now and I want to say this has been the worst host. Experience I've ever delt with .most staff are wonderful.operating room. Was awesome and professional.now I said the good thing about it.let to say in a nutshell the bad.I felt it was racest.no compassion, took forever to get things done. I asked to speak to the head of the hospital.of course that didn't happen. I became their enemy because I kept complaining.so things continued to not work. I think I will be seeing a Lawyer when I leave here.will never come back here.would not recommend this hospital unless it is a day sugery and send you home. Great doctor's.

J.L. Golden

There is no way to describe this experience...was horrible from start to finish. Entrance to exit. Every person there has a bad attitude --with the exception of the doctors. They were all wonderful.

Vickie Driskill

A family member was followed at university health. He was terminally ill. One particular Dr was extremely compassionate and caring. Dr Scuteri is absolutely an asset to your facility, and we feel that his excellent care gave us some extra quality time with our family member.

Lisa Lewis

I’m giving it a 2 because of the facility is filthy at least in the hall and emergency care room we are in. Dr. H, the X-ray technician, the patient transporter and the front office lady were phenomenal. Our nurse ‘H’ doesn’t seem willing to assist. She has not back to to room since about 11:00 AM. The doctor a neurologist gave us a blanket, another nurse brought requested water. We have not had a CNA at all. So I’m taking her back and forth to restroom myself. This is University Health so private funds supports this facility and staff. I thought coming here might defray expenses. You get what you pay for.

Van Buren

Very Dirty, very unfriendly & very very slow.

DeeDee Ingvardsen

Nini Steph

Wonderful!

GrimThreeper1776

Had knee surgery to reconstruct ligaments 2 days ago and am back in the ER to check if the cuts are infected and have terrible pain and I've been here 3 hours now waiting to be seen. I'll probably be here longer. Everytime I've ever been here it's been a terrible experience.

Katy

Ok this place sucks bad. They don’t actually figure out the problem and send you home with no answers. Then you turn to another hospital and go to the Er and you find out that one simple blood test or them actually looking at your labs could have made a huge difference and you wouldn’t have to go through near as much. Every time you go there you mainly see residents. The only good thing university health has is a trauma and critical care team and yes I’ve had personal experience with the neurosurgeons at this hospital and they saved my life. Other than that this hospital 100% sucks. But if you go there cause you can’t breath you will be sent home with no answers with the same symptom then go to another hospital the next day and you get an actual diagnosis and the diagnosis you get could cause death if not treated urgently. Yes I have medical knowledge I know the difference in an emergency and a non emergency and I know the difference in normal and abnormal. I also know how to read labs and know when something isn’t right but they treat you like there’s nothing wrong even though your labs and all other test plus signs and symptoms point to a different cause.

Raye

I'd give it zero stars if I could. This is the absulote last resort if you have nowhere else to go. You have to get cross with people before anything gets done and I absolutely hate doing that, but after being forgotten about and ignored multiple visits you have no choice.

Tiger McCray

If there was anything under one star, I would have chosen it. It seems that the "professionals" employed here have forgotten that their job is patient care. Nurses are more concerned about sitting at a computer and charting than actually making sure their patient is actually being cared for. Nursing assistants are rude and lazy. Doctors are more concerned with teaching each other medical "stuff", than actually attempting to care for the patients. I think that any, and I mean ANY other hospital is better than here. But in this area, this one is the best funded therefore has access to medical resources in which the others do not. A patient who is admitted into the hospital with a condition involving chronic pain, should not have to lay in bed all night in PAIN. It's ridiculous. You're at a hospital. This is my third time back for the exact same medical condition. I understand that it's a big hospital filled with many patients. But the doctors just lolligag around more interested in educating each other it seems, than treating the patient. Ive been here 4 days, and they've completed one test and I had to dam near put a gun to the doctors head to even receive those results. Essentially, I'm just laying in a hospital bed sick and in pain, while these "professionals" walk the halls pretending to treat patients. And what the hell happened to patient privacy and adhering to HIPPA guidelines? Both the doctors and nurses seem completely unaware that they even exist. This hospital may be the biggest and most funded. They may have access to more medical resources and employ more specialists and specific care staff. However, more than likely you will not be happy with your stay here. This is,a,shame considering no one asks or chooses to be admitted into a hospital.

Eunice Mason

Noel Pierce

Literally the worst hospital to go to if you're sick in any way. They're rude, and not one of their "doctors" knows what the heck they're doing. It is just a bunch of students playing doctor. I've gone several times, but have never once have left feeling better. Typically I end up looking on the Internet for answers and fixing the issue myself. Not one person there knows what to do.

Nadine Chism

Temeka Williams

Rudolph Perkins

This Hospital has the best staffers,the best unity to work with others to help save a life.they have the most patient workers,when dealing with the abuse from others.I salute you all.You all are truly blessed.And thanks for saving my life..(warm smiles and hugs

Adrian Winham

I work here

Cora Ford

Best doctors in this state, they might be slow getting to you but they will find out what's wrong and help you deal with it.

Lakeesha Johns

Very caring staff, I am pleased with the service I received

Alice Allen

Very efficient good and caring and helpful ppl. Would advice this hospital to anyone.

Jenny Dupuis

Went for pre-op ,cervical spine surgery . Went up to the 3rd floor and the lady behind the desk was the rudest person!! I waited a little while but couldn't handle the wait or the pain! The room was FULL of SICK PEOPLE And NO CHAIRS TO SIT IN. I returned to the Doctors office and CANCELLED my surgery!! This was not a good 1st impression of LSU-S !! We heard HORROR STORIES about my SURGEON!! UNBELIEVABLE!!

Sheila Wiggins

Great hospital best doctor .

Ruthie Thomas

Like.

sue thomas

Being a patient with private insurance can be a absolute nightmare! Getting papers filled out by the physicians is at a snail's pace and has caused my daughter her job! Ob gyn is the worst!

Reyna Echols

They're nice, just extremely slow.

fred lister

If I could have given zero stars I would have. Came for prenatal care. I got here at 7:45 for my 8 appointment and here it is 2pm and I'm still here and waiting and I was having vaginal bleeding. You have got to be kidding me as soon as I can switch my doctor I will. I also don't understand how you don't see the same doc or how the whole staff sits around and does nothing. I was told to expect a 2 hour wait but 7 hours lets get real

Danielle Smith

Can’t believe it!!!! When I was in deep pain with my son this past Sunday, they aren’t as supportive as other people say......and Monday after he was born, me and my husband wanted a COUPLE OF HOURS OF F*****G SLEEP BUT NOOOO AND THATS BEYOND THE LINE!!!!!!!! Such a shame....... I feel bad for the other mothers and their babies born natural or csection like I did and having to deal with this bullsh**....I feel really bad for the mothers that had to deal with that 1 nurse in the nursery unit..... The good part is the surgery staff were calm and lead me and hubby thruout the entire thing

hospital is a joke!!! i had to be induced to have my son because i had miscarried him they checked me 1 time to see how dilated i was and i ended up giving birth to him sitting up on the side of the bed waiting for an epidural (which the dr doing it decided to take a phone call in the middle of) and then if that wasnt bad enough after having my son they threw him on me didnt place didnt hand THREW HIM! and shortly after i started bleeding really bad and they let me lay there in my own blood and bleed for several hours i passed out and my husband was slapping me to try to get me to wake up SEVERAL HOURS of bleeding before they decided they had better take me to surgery! i wouldn't bring my sick dog there let alone be treated by the idiots at that hospital!

I was there twice within 10 days and was treated excellent both times. The doctors, nurses, CN's, and all staff were super nice. Thank you so much for making my experience away from home as easy as possible!!

I think University Health Hospital is awesome, they have the best surgeons, equipment, they take the poor people, they are kind (98%) of the staff and they have saved my best friends life 3 times. So if you had to wait 8 hours to be seen, (like they all do) and went in with an attitude, I'm sure your attitude rubbed off on them! Thank God for University Health!!!

My husband was seriously hurt recently and was taken to University Health in Shreveport. We were pleased with the nurses and thought the doctors were outstanding. The facilities were not comfortable for those of us who stayed overnight. A straight chair was the only seating/bed available in this double room. I would think that this is caused by the cuts in funding. The only area that we had real problems with was food service. Not only was the food inferior, but it was not served regularly. It was not unusual for breakfast to be served at 9:30 A.M, lunch between 2:00-3:00 P.M., and dinner at 7:00 P.M. One day lunch was served after 3:00 P.M and dinner was never brought around. Patients without families to help just have to go to bed hungry. I find it hard to believe that there is no more oversight on how our tax dollars are spent. From comments heard this is standard ongoing procedure.

Everyone was great from the ER to Surgery to Pediatrics. We were treated with kindness and compassion. Thank you!!

I was brought here against my will because i said i didnt want to exist anymore i had just broken up with my girlfriend in a very bad way and was being dramatic to a now ex friend who called the cops o Me. and some crack pot er nurse decided to admit me because i had old self harm scars on my wristi am terrified of hospitals especially psychiatric hospitals its my worst fear! I was thrown into a room with a police officer at my bedside. The nurses were incredibly rude and belittling ive never in my life met people who are trying to "save someones life" but treat them so horribly! One nurse demanded that i give her blood and urine and i abruptly refused and told her no because she was mean. She then sheered at me and turned the lights off in my room. I didnt need to be there and that night no those 6hrs i was there completely ruined my life! My anxiety has skyrocketed, i lost my job because i kept having flashbacks and episodes in the middle of work, i started cutting again and became so depressed that it ruined my marriage and my wife left me. If it takes all that i have all that i am i will have this place shut down for good!

Worst experience ever with any health organization. Our son’s doctor was amazing and I would give him 5 stars but the billing department is absolutely useless and ruined our entire view of Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport. Without getting too far into the situation, we spoke with billing at least 5 times which led calls with our insurance and doctors office. Fast forward to the present, they sent our bill to collections. My wife just got off the phone with the LSU Health billing department and they said “oh, it looks like we billed it to an unbillable code”. So, LSU Health messed up and they sent us to collections. We have not had any issues with anyone else besides LSU Health. If you get an option, go be seen somewhere else.

Getting someone to answer the phone at the womans clinic is IMPOSSIBLE! I have called 6 times this morning and held for 30 minutes or more everytime!

Albert Castillo

ICU is great! Anywhere outside of it, good luck.

Graeme Fowler-Sandlin

Horrible since Ochsner took over. Feels like they are going out of their way to punish patients in any way possible. Parking situation has gone from bad to embarrassing since the switch. Shuttle doesn't even pick up from the patient parking area! TRY HARDER

BOBBY HATFIELD

Straight up NEGLECTFUL, WAS GIVEN DIRTY BLANKETS, THE LACK OF CARE HERE WAS MIND BLOWING WITH THE EXEPTION OF A FEW DOCTORS. LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM AND CHILD PLAY THE 12 HOURS I HAD TO BE HERE. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO THIS HOSPITAL/DAYCARE. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, LORD KNOWS MY HEART, I WOULD HAVE RATHER DIED THAN SAT ONE MORE MINUTE PLUS THE 12 HOUR STAY I HAD TO BE AT THIS PLACE.

Sam Johnson

This is the worst hospital ever! Ive been here since 9 this morning and its now 6:33 pm and we are still here!!! And nobody seems to know when We will be seen, and the staff is so rude!

Elizabeth Savage

This place sucks!!!.. The whole place is nasty!!.. They schedule 150 people at 8am and you're here till 6pm!!.. I freakin hate coming here!!

Alize Ballard

It has gotten a lot better it's not just better. But really faster than other hospitals. Now!! Located in my location also it's even faster then all clinics as well & u know that's bad but I'm happy with their service..Now!! Congrats!!

Sharon Reese

Neurologists here are the best ever experienced in Shreveport.

Collette White

Did not help my sister

Lisa Richard-Martin

Disgusting, filthy and unsantiary restrooms in the ER waiting area. No toilet paper, except what is on the floor with blood on it. I took photos to show what I seen as I went into the restroom. This public restroom is so nasty that it had me questioning the sanitation practices of those that are administering medical care to us. The entire Hospital needs to be clean! Plus I have been here in the ER with my elderly mother waiting to see a doctor for 4 hours. Another lady has been here waiting since 8 am this morning. That's not even humane. It's now 5:28 pm. I am so disappointed. I thought once Oschner took over this hospital, there would be improvements. Looks to me like it's only become worse.

This place simply betters society. Students get to learn from doctors and poor people get free health care. Society wins twice.

Amber McElroy

Horrid. Doctors are wretched and nurses try their very best. They are more interested in SHOVING pills down your throat to make a quota or a dime on the side other than telling you all of the possible resources they have.

Love this hospital they take such good care of our loved ones.

This was the best hospital I've ever been to. All the care was awesome and the nurses were so nice!! I'm going to miss the nurses so much!

Terryl Smith

This is the worst hospital I have been in my entire life. I have Crohn's Disease in the ER they found inflammation and a mass on my right side kept giving me meds I had an alergic reaction to and got no relief sleep or able to eat for days now. One group of doctors doesn't know what the others are doing. The bathroom is full of dirt and hair, truly disgusting

Brittany Hodge

Really great dental care

Aylmer Weldin

The nursing staff was attentive and friendly. I was comfortable and cared for. The facility needs some upgrades such as new TVs and remotes with better audio. One of the light bulbs was out behind my bed and the floor could have been cleaner. Overall the experience was good and the doctors who cared for me were excellent.

John bandy

Poor service...slowest health care provider I've ever experienced..I'll never come back and will pass the word to all my company and friends to never use LSU

Sue A Thomas

Difficult to communicate by phone. The #2 prompt puts you on hold indefinitely! No one follows up with you after the doctors do a consultation for you and they accept! Can't catch a break!

Ronald Kelley

LaGirtha Thomas

The doctors are great but they need to move faster when providing service to patients.

Phyllis Williams

Excellent care from all the doctors and nurses. Have never seen a hospital this compassionate and careful about the patient's care. They have saved my life and taken care of me like I was family. I have had 3 surgeries here in the past 2 months. They are great and I would recommend them to anyone who needs help. They also have assistance for people with finance trouble.

Beatrice Page

If I could I would give this place no star's at all.Worse experience I ever had to deal with from a hospital the er staff was very rude,unprofessional with out a care in the world of patient's they put you back and it's a done deal you are left alone like you isn't there no one come check on you.No team work at all.I would never ever go back to this hospital for nothing and on top of that they misplaced my belonging other than what the Shreveport Police Officer put in lock up.My other belonging's that one of the er staff put in lock up wasn't found and I was discharged with out my purse,clothes,n shoes & other belonging's.Calling back to see if they found it and getting the run around bs how this hospital run's should be closed uggghhhh I'm even more

Lauren Estep

You will wait soo long. Its not even worth it. Aint no point in making appt you wont be seen anywhere near your appt time..

Kendall Hall

Called at 8:30am to report a ruptured disc in neck and was on hold for 4 hours and 21 minutes until got impatient and hung up. I find that finding someone that is concerned about the patient can not be found.

James Shaw

The ER floor is more comfortable than the chairs, writing this while here on the floor, the reason I am here is most likely a complication with my 2 day stay from getting out yesterday and still have been here for 2 hours with my pain at 10+ according to their scale.

Tiffany Brann

Cheryl Williams

The Pediatric floor is really taking care of our precious cargo Baby Ayden!

L Cormier

Our granddaughter was treated at the burn center here about 5 years ago. They doctors, nurses, physical therapists, just everybody, were amazing. We are thankful she is with us and are so grateful to y'all. She loves the burn camp each summer, keep it going!

Where is the negative or zero star option? My fiance was supposed to come Monday at 10am to be checked in for a 5 day EEG. They call Sunday night to tell him that there isn't a bed available that he will need to Come in Tuesday at 10am. The paperwork said there was free parking but it was a total nightmare trying to navigate between improperly parkwd vehicles and people going against the directional arrows and even then the parking lot was overflowing so we went to paid parking which is expensive. Get to admitting and it takes about 30 minutes to get done. Get escorted to 2G. The paperwork had a room listed as his but there was already another patient in there so they put my fiance in another room. The nurse takes over an hour to come in and then leaves saying shes waiting on doctor orders and doesnt want to start an IV in case they need to draw labs so he only gets stuck once. 2 hours after arriving the nurse starts the IV and then someone from lab comes in and says that she has to stick him again that she cant use the IV. The tech that set up the leads for the EEG was clearly aggravated that she had to do her job. After she got all the leads placed she did the strobe light test in the daylight with the room light on and the blinds open. HELLO what is that going to accomplish!? The goal was to have him go into a seizure so they could monitor brain activity. He couldn't even see the light strobe since the room was bright. 4 days later after telling them how to do it to get him to have a seizure, he does the strobe light test on himself with the light on his phone. Then all the sudden the tech wants to come in and administer the hospital strobe light test after I pushed the alarm button to let them know about his seizure. Housekeeping has came in once in 5 days to sweep and push the trash down into the can so as to not change out the bag. Nurses come every 6-8 hours if that. Staff is beyond rude and slower than snails stuck on molasses. Do not come to this hospital even if you are dying. Die with dignity at your own house and save your family the trouble of ever experiencing this so called place they call a hospital.

Jerrion Davis

this place is very cutie and my grandma is in there with a mas on her brain

Mz.Ebony Queen Johnson

Here for physical therapy and it's going ok

David Meaux

Our daughter went in a week ago and was admitted to a room on the 5th floor pediatrics ward. She had to have her appendix removed. The nursing staff on her floor, the O.R. staff and surgeons were all absolutely top-notch, amazing and very professional, kind and carrying. She received the best care we could have ever hoped for.
