University Medical Center New Orleans LCMC Health

Dr. Michael Cook is honestly one of the most knowledgeable doctors I've ever met. He made me feel comfortable right away and took the time to educate me on things. He explained things in a way that made sense. Dr. Cook didn't rush me at all -- he explained everything clearly, made sure I understood each step, and treated me like a real person, not just a chart. I left my appointment with hope, real answers, meaningful insight, a clear plan, and confidence that I'm in good hands. If you're looking for a bariatric surgeon who genuinely cares, communicates well, and goes above and beyond, I absolutely recommend Dr. Cook.

I was very hesitant to come to LCMC bc the old hospital was not the greatest not even good. But our experience here has been some of the best experiences ever. From great Drs , to great Surgeons and don't forget the staff who on their own makes your stay the best it can be. We've been going here for about a year and a half dealing with cancer,surgery,chemo and scans after scans I lost count but they make sure they don't miss anything. We will continue to come here and yes we have insurance but you won't find a better hospital or staff It's so clean ,so organized,politeness and they give 100% of everything I'm so glad that this hospital and the Dr's came into our lives during the hardest time of our lives. 10 out of 10 recommend

I just want to brag about my Doctor and his staff! I had bariatric surgery and Dr. Leithead and his staff was and is amazing! I'm satisfied with the results and outcome of my surgery. I feel good and I look good! Dr. Leithead is an awesome Doctor and he cares about his patients and he listens and he is very observant about his patients! If I could I would award him for being the most caring doctor in the whole United States. This man is the truth! I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone who is thinking about having Bariatric surgery. His work is phenomenal matter of fact there are no words for him and his staff because they all are amazing .

The PACU floor was amazing after my mom's heart surgery. The 6th floor on Tower 2 was not that great. The night tech got aggravated that she had to change my mom's bed. My mom asked to use the bathroom since her bed had to be changed but the nurse told her to use the purwick after my mom waa laying in a stretcher in PACU for 6 hours more than what she was supposed due to no rooms. My mom had to beg for her anxiety medicine. The day shift was worse than the night shift. No one knew what time breakfast came. They forgot to get my mom breakfast so finally at 10am she received her breakfast & coffee. It was so cold that the creamer couldn't dissolve in the coffee. The nurse came and threw wipes and a towel on my mom's bed, told her she was coming back but she never did. The blinds were broken in the room so not only you had the sun beaming on you and in your eyes, it also made the room hot. UMC might had amazing doctors but the hospital needs work, especially with their employees.
