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.

Dr. Blessey is an excellent physician
Dr. Blessey takes time to listen to her patients, answer questions, and discuss plans of treatment when needed. She is a very kind and compassionate doctor, who is easy to talk to.

Dr. Blessey is a blessing!
After being diagnosed with early stage breast cancer and having just had two lumpectomies, I was feeling overwhelmed and lost. I hadn’t had a primary care physician in a long time, as up to that point I had been relatively healthy and was in my mid-forties. I felt shuffled around by the system and didn’t feel that I had any resources, or even an advocate for my health to whom to direct my questions, fear and frustration. I desperately needed a compassionate doctor who could help me understand my condition and my options. She spent the necessary time to explain things in a way that gave me strength, hope and confidence moving forward. It is an immense relief to feel that one has a medical ally to supervise one’s comprehensive care. God bless her!

Patients need to be seen more frequently when older with chronic conditions to provide continuity of care. Many elders did not receive care throughout pandemic and this affects their welfare. No excuse not to follow up when an elder has gone to urgent care and told to see their doctor. An appointment 6 weeks later does not address the issue timely. I am not impressed with follow up for a friend.

Over the years, I have recommended Dr. Blessey to family members, co-workers, and friends. As a result, I know at least that Dr. Blessey is the primary care physician for our two daughters and my brother. I have found her to be an excellent primary care physician. Ochsner is fortunate to have her on staff.
