What Our Patients Are Saying

I received timely and detailed f/u care from Dr. Watson with unexpected 7 month post/op hip pain which was unrelated to the surgery but important to get clarity on the issue. They got me in same day, did X-rays and gave me peace of mind. All greatly appreciated!

My experience for a knee replace with Dr. L. Estrata was excellent. My hospital stay at Touro Hospital in the special surgery unit could not have been better. Dr. Estrata and his staff were very professional, their attention to the surgery details and answering my questions either in the hospital or over the phone were outstanding. I have told friends that have had the same surgery with other physicians of my experience and they would amazed at the service I received. I would definitely recommend Dr. Estrata.

I Love each time I have an appointment at Orthopaedic Associates! The staff is so friendly and very pleasant! Carly really makes me feel so comfortable and takes her time to explain everything to me about my condition! I truly appreciate the staffs care and compassion!

Dr. Lurie and his team have been nothing short of stellar in getting me back healthy after my knee injury. Dr. Lurie is thorough and attentive in every appointment; discussing physical goals and needs to get me back to work at 100% capacity. I was forwarded, initially, to another doctor through workman's comp. And I am very thankful that I got a second opinion with Dr. Lurie. I'll recommend him and OANO 1000× over.

I have been a patient of Dr. Laborde for 25 years. I can't be more satisfied with his expertise and bedside manner. He is attentive, patient and as compassionate as he is medically qualified. The staff at Orthopaedic Associates of New Orleans has always been courteous and efficient at every level. It's very comforting to be under this group's medical care.
