Two hundred and twenty-three physicians from across Ochsner Health System and its partner hospitals were named to the 2019 “Best Doctors” list published annually by New Orleans Magazine.
This year, 633 physicians in 73 specialties in New Orleans were recognized as “Best Doctors.” Ochsner Health System hospital, facilities, and affiliated hospitals accounted for more than 35% of the list, representing more than 50 specialties – cardiovascular disease, family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics, to name a few. The complete list of New Orleans honorees was featured in the August edition of New Orleans Magazine.
“Our dedicated team of physicians strives to provide exceptional and compassionate healthcare every day,” said Robert Hart, MD, FAAP, FACP, executive vice president and chief medical officer at Ochsner Health System. “We’re honored to see so many of our doctors recognized for their dedication to building a healthier, stronger community.”

Physicians are selected as “Best Doctors” based on the results of an extensive peer-to-peer survey of medical professionals.
