Dr. Irene Caillouet, MD

I had a triple hernia surgery and have been having groin pain ever since. Been back to Irene and was told I was making a mountain out of a mole hill. I have been having painful erections and abdominal and groin pain ever since.

I had an emergency appendectomy per Dr. Caillouet. She did a fabulous job with minimal pain and complications. I highly recommend her services.

Very compassionate and approachable. She explained the whole process and answered all questions.

Waited 1yr.(post caillouet) to write this review. I’m almost 60 & a fairly healthy female. Went to STPH-ER, 12-2021, told my appendix exploded(8 days ago) & large pocket of infection in abdomen. SHOCKER-I thought “kidney stones” couldn’t pass. Did NOT put a drain in. Hospitalized 5 days, tons of antibiotics, pic lines, etc. Sent home on antibiotics. Had me come in(1st appt) to “schedule” appendectomy(make me go through trip-visit just to “schedule”). I asked MANY questions & left very disappointed, confused & NO confidence”. Seemed unfamiliar with my case. Did not explain what to expect, wrong answers about specifics-only follow instruction papers(generic). Sought 2nd opinion(known surgeon)on vaca. Eventually appendectomy, end of Jan. 2022. That was not even performed as per “info sheets”. Post appendectomy, almost immediately noticed “new troubles. Every call/concern was met with “give it time” & “seek GI consult”. 1yr post-still searching for answers/solutions/fixes. GI, URO, ENT

I actually met Dr Caillouet thru a mutual friend. I Immediately recognized her ease, kindness, and confidence. I needed a small procedure and asked her if she would be my surgeon. The surgery was a great success and now 16 weeks out, I feel great! Zero complications, Dr. Caillouet was wonderful! From the beginning she made me feel comfortable, answered all of my questions and concerns, explained my options and helped me make the right choice. I’ve been a nurse for 28 years and though I’ve not had the pleasure of working with Dr Caillouet, I’ve worked with countless surgeons and easily recognize the “whole package”. Dr Callouet. She’s the whole package! Intelligence, expertise, talented, patient, kind and personable. Thank you Dr. Caillouet for being all that you are! Barbie Stevens

Dr Caillouet was very professional and a great bedside manner. I felt good just speaking to her. She shows a lot of compassion for her patients. Would highly recommend her.

Dr calliouet did a gallbladder removal on me and when closing off the vessels, she knicked my vagus nerve with a surgical clip causing permanent damage and severe pain to the point that even a shirt rubbing against my abdomen hurts so bad it makes me nauseous. Not to mention the new diagnosis of gp (paralysis of my digestive system)

Dr. Caillouet has the best bedside manner of any medical provider I’ve ever seen as a patient. She is confident, funny, experienced, knowledgeable, and I couldn’t recommend anyone else for general surgery. You’re in great hands with Dr. Caillouet.

Definitely will recommend.

My daughter, 15, had a cyst on her backside that had to be removed. Dr. Caillouet was so wonderful and caring with her. Definitely a wonderful Surgeon, Dr. Caillouet is. We will be returning.

Dr. Caillouet performed my gall bladder removal surgery and I couldn't have been more pleased with her office staff, her bedside manner, professionalism, medical knowledge, surgical skills and compassionate manner. Should I need the services of a surgeon in the future, I will come directly to her and would definitely recommend her. I have nothing but the highest of praises for this wonderful doctor.

Dr.Caillouet did a clean out surgery on my nephew right butt creek where he had a hole size as a base ball she took real good care of him very sweet and careing lady i hope she stays around we got to go back in surgery and she will be doing his surgery again

I had an emergency colon surgery Dr. Irene took good care of me, so far the nicest and comforting Medical Practitioner i ever encountered even ithough i came from a family of medical practitioner wholesome personality. Atty. RJ (ESQ)

I was admitted to STPH with a gallbladder attack. Dr. Caillouet was the surgeon for my surgery. I had never heard of her nor seen or met her. She came in my room the day of surgery to introduce herself and to see if I had any questions or concerns. She took her time explaining what she would be doing and made sure I was comfortable with this procedure. I would highly recommend her to anyone! She has great bedside manners and is very caring and concerned with her patient care. Always smiling!

Dr. Caillouet performed a routine appendectomy on my daughter and botched it. Worse, she blamed my daughter, claiming that my daughter's bladder was "in the wrong place." This was clearly untrue (the Chief of Urology at Tulane said so). She was unable to apologize for her error and petty enough to try to trick a 13-year old into thinking there was something wrong with her body. Anyone can make a surgical error, but it takes a pretty terrible doctor to blame that error on a child.

Very personable! Warm and caring.
