For over 70 years, Ochsner has been a major referral center for patients from around the world, particularly from Central and South America. Annually, over 2,500 International patients come to Ochsner to see some of the brightest minds in medicine – a staff of over 1,000 physicians practicing in more than 90 medical specialties – and to access the latest technological advances and cutting-edge research assembled in one of the most comprehensive medical facilities in North America. This tradition of medical excellence has established the Ochsner name as a world-renowned multispecialty clinic. This dedication to leadership in healthcare reaps rewards for our patients. Ochsner is consistently ranked among the very best in quality of care surveys, and the well-being, comfort, and satisfaction of our patients is our primary concern. To this end, Ochsner has developed a highly specialized, regionally integrated delivery system that extends its approach to healthcare far beyond the main campus. Our International Office is equipped with experienced staff to take care of your needs and make you feel at home.
