Dr. Glenn Gomes, MD

08-09-2024 My Home Health Nurse contacted the Pulmonary Dept. at Ochsner regarding my swollen lymph nodes, the phlegm I was coughing up, and having to use my inhaler more often. The office told my home health nurse to have me see my PCP or go to Urgent Care. They went on to say that I see several doctors at Ochsner. My nurse said she confirmed that she was speaking with the Pulmonary dept; she was told yes, she had the correct dept. It's correct that I see several doctors at Ochsner. I see a Rheumatologist, a Cardiologist, an Allergist, an Orthopedic doctor, and an ENT. I don't know why they mentioned to my nurse that I see other doctors when the matter at hand was a pulmonary concern.

In the Spring of 2019, I was hospitalized 4 times due to acute respiratory distress. For more than 3 years thereafter, I was never without significant impairment, despite treatment by two internists and two pulmonologists. It was Dr. Gomez, my third pulmonologist, who finally zeroed in on the “mucoid impaction” of airways that was causing my distress. His treatment resolved that issue and has prevented recurrence.On my visit to Dr. Gomez, today, I was able to report that since my last visit I have been largely free of any functional impairment. My oxygen saturation measured 98%. For anyone suffering from any respiratory impairment, I would confidently recommend Dr. Gomez. I did practice medicine for 45 years, but I have never had any association with Dr. Gomez or Ochsner except as a patient.

Excellent. Dr. Gomes is always professional and very engaged. Listens and always tries to solve any problem presented. Wonderful doctor!

Dr. Gomes is very thorough. He listens to his patients and does not rush through the appointment. He has always gone above and beyond when it comes to my care. I hope to continue my pulmonary care with Dr. Gomas.

He explained all our questions thourly.

Dr Gomes was very thorough, patient and understanding regarding my health problems and concerns. He explained all options and his recommendations.

Had a great first time visit. He was very thorough with my health problems. He took his time. I didn’t feel like he was rushing to get out of room.

Dr Gomes is absolutely awesome!!! He is very thorough and takes as much time as necessary to be sure you understand and all your questions are answered. The ONLY problem I have with going to this office is thee ridiculous wait time. Weather it’s in the waiting room or in the exam room waiting for the doctor. This past visit was AS bad but the visit before I was there for 3 HOURS just for a routine office visit. Most of my time was waiting. 30 minutes MAYBE with the doctor. With a repair to the operation of the office this will be an absolutely top notch doctors office to visit!!! The doctor is outstanding but I seriously do not look forward to going to my appointments at all!

Talking to him is like talking to a therapist.

Called to make appt for Feb 7 (next available date) according to internet. Found this is a blatant LIE< next available date was 27 Feb. If they start out lying, what ia a patient to expect? Will not be using this dr. Will not recommend at all.

Dr Gomes helped me tremendously after I was exposed to muratic acid. He always listened to me for as long as I needed him to. I was under his care for 3 yrs before I was well enough that I no longer needed him. I loved his nurses & staff

Wrote three different diagnoses. Finally wrote diagnosis in chart that was never discussed during office visits. Final diagnosis was inconsistent with results from x-rays and other tests. Did not order a CT scan or other exams to confirm diagnosis. Makes unsubstantiated, baseless diagnoses without factual evidence. See previous reviewer.

I have sat-in on several appointments with my husband, have not been impressed with Dr. Gomes. He wants to diagnose everything as being cancer when tests prove it is not. Will be looking for a new doctor.
