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.

Great dr. Very polite, very inteligent, great surgeon,

Excellent Day Surgery
Doctor Suneeta Walia, MD has performed day surgery on me periodically for the past three years. Her surgical practice is managed in an excellent manner, from in processing by her nurses and through the surgical procedure. From start to finish I had the feeling that I was in the hands of a very skilled surgeon and very capable nurses. In addition Dr. Walia’s front desk staff were friendly and attentive, and the environment was very clean and well maintained. I could not have asked for a better outcome. If you are in need of surgical services, it has been my experience that Doctor Walia will attend to your medical needs in a very thorough and professional way, and you will be happy with the outcome.

Absolutely
Dr. Walia and her staff communicate with the patient before, during, and after the Mohs surgery. They continuesly do that so you know exactly what is going on. This makes you more comfortable and less nervous which is very important to the patient. Many doctors and staff only cover the general aspects of what they are doing and do not go into the detail that Dr. Walia and her staff go into. They put the patient first!!!!

Poor bedside manner
I never thought I would be treated so poorly by an Ochsner physician. I had a consult with Dr. Walia and she spent less than 10 minutes with me. She seemed personally offended when I asked questions. I have skin cancer and wanted to know what to expect from Mohs surgery and she seemed annoyed. She barely even looked at me and explained the procedure in less than 3 minutes. She charted that she explained things that she never even said to me. It was an awful experience. There was no compassion or empathy. I felt disrespected and dismissed. I have never had this type of experience with an Ochsner physician and I am left questioning her ability as a physician.

Complete trust in capable hands and team
Unfortunately I’ve had several MOHS procedures. Dr. Walia and her team are remarkable. They are organized, efficient, compassionate. I trust them completely and some of my surgeries have been very complicated. I recommend her whole heartedly.

Excellent experience
After diagnosis’ and before surgery, I had the opportunity to visit another dermatologist ( out of Ochsner’s network) for an unrelated problem. When discussing the impending surgery, I mentioned Dr Walia’s name and got a glowing recommendation, as in “she’s very good”. I can not disagree. From start to finish Dr Walia and her staff were very friendly and informative on what was being done and what to expect next. I don’t look forward to any type of surgery but I can’t imagine what could have been done to make it any easier.

This is my third surgery with Dr. Walia and in my opinion she is a great surgeon. She has put together a team that is extremely professional and very pleasant. Frankly I would not entertain going anywhere else for this type of surgery.

I was very concerned about the surgery until I met her and her team. Dr. Walia explained everything that was going to happen and talked me through it as she was doing the procedure. Her team did everything to make me at ease and well taken care of. If I have to have another Mohs surgery, I'm definitely going back to her, she was fantastic.

Dr. Walla was very knowledgable about my diagnosis and explained every step in the surgery. She has a wonderful bedside manner, and makes you feel comfortable and confident in the treatment she will provide. She and her staff work together to provide a high level of care while caring for you as a person not just a diagnosis, from the time you enter the treatment room to the time you leave. I feel very blessed to have come under the care of this physician.
