Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Knowledgable and compassionate
Going to the doctor is not something you usually think of as a good experience, but Dr. Chava and his team at Ochsner make it so.

Dr. Chava has an uncommon ability to give medical information in clear, understandable terms. I always feel that I leave the consultation with the knowledge I need regarding my health care.

Dr Chava is extremely capable no doubt. He is quite impersonal though. I felt like I was in a futuristic setting when medicine will be by means of artificial intelligence.
