A very good Dr. Always greets you with a smile. Preformed 2 Surgery on me. Never had any problem with my Healing process. Take his time with you go for a check up. Always asked you if you need anything please let him or his stuff know
Patrick Ellender, M.D.
Listens to your concerns, gives information on a clear, straightforward manner
Patrick Ellender, M.D.
Dr. Ellender listens to the problem to get it fixed. He is thorough when explaining procedures that need to be done as well as explaining what was done post surgery.

I thought Ms.Giambelluca seemed helpful in understanding what was going on with my condition and my future treatment.

Jason Higgins, M.D.
My visit with Dr. Higgins was honestly one of the most enjoyable doctors appointments I’ve ever had. He made me very comfortable, was very knowledgeable, didn’t make me feel rushed, and very much made me feel as though he was going to help me out, and get to the bottom of my problems. I haven’t even received treatment yet, but I’m very confident that he is going to be a help to me. His bedside manner is fantastic, and I wish we had more doctors like him in Thibodaux.

Easy diagnosis & solution! I like how he shows me the injury in the X-ray.

I went for a checkup after knee replacement. I don't know if he was having a bad day. But I told him my knee was still hurting. He tells me my therapist said I was doing good. He didn't want to hear i was still I'm pain. I was very disappointed. Not sure if I will go back to see him.
