Dr. Estrada is an excellent MD. He discusses the patient condition with the patient and educate you on the illness, strive for best outcome always. His nurse Sherry is so helpful and has the patient best interest always, she is always receptive to patient needs. The are wonderful healthcare providers. I would recommend to anyone needing orthopedic joint care.

Dr. Estrada is not only extremely competent, he is informative and extremely supportive after surgery. I can honestly say, I have never met a kinder surgeon. After my arm surgery he spent quality time with me every day I remained in hospital, expressed empathy with the pain he had been required to inflict on me, and gently touched my other arm, as if to give me a healing touch that was not surgical, but surely therapeutic. Furthermore, he has performed 2 surgeries on me, and each time the pain was minimal and the pain was skillfully managed, and I recovered well with no complications.

I was a new patient, but did not have to wait very long at all to see the doctor once I filled out my paperwork. I also was not left waiting in the exam room; the doctor saw me within 5-7 minutes. Doctor was thorough and had already located and reviewed a previous MRI. Overall good experience.

Dr. Watson is a wonderful doctor. My hand surgery was good. He did my knee replacement eleven years ago, and I have not had any problems. Still going strong. Thank you.

What I most appreciate about Dr. Estrada is the time he takes to explain procedures, what's going on, recommendations, etc. The practice is busy because of its reputations, and while this may mean some waiting, it's always worth the wait.

Dr Estrada was great. He did my hip in June and the my knee in November. He spent time with me to answer all of my questions. He makes use of the newest technology for the best outcome. He is very personable and makes you feel confident that everything will turn out fine.

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.

Dr. Estrada is patient and provides excellent care. I have been his patient for years now, and I would not trust another orthopedist with my poor knees. The last time I visited Dr. Estrada, I was very upset and emotional, and he comforted me and made me feel a lot better about my situation. I really appreciate and value the care I have received from both Dr. Estrada and his team.

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.

They are ok, but I did not enjoy going there after I broke my elbow. Too many x-rays, etc. There wasn't much they could do for an albow anyway.

Several years ago Dr. Lurie empowered me with the information I needed to make the best choice for me related to the arthritis in my knee. When the time came for knee replacement a few months ago I went into surgery fully informed about the process. I had no complications and was recently able to walk several miles a day during travel. Dr. Lurie is a unique blend of a very intelligent physician who is also invariably compassionate.

He listens, thinks, then responds. During rehab I heard other patients categorize their orthopedists as disconnected and uncaring. If that is the rule, Dr. Lurie is the epitome of the exception.

This is the third orthopedic practice I have been to in the past 15 years or so. I am highly satisfied with the care hat I receive. I see Dr. Estrada. He is caring and concerned, but at the same time is straightforward and doesn't sugar coat things. He has offered me many different options for treatment, and this has allowed me to really feel like pet of my care. I would recommend him, and this practice!

Having just had hip replacement surgery by Dr. Lance Estrada, I am thrilled with the outcome and the speed of my recovery. Dr. Estrada preformed the more advanced" Anterior" method of hip replacement surgery that is less invasive and usually leads to faster recovery times. In after just two weeks, I had little pain, was driving, and returned to work.

In addition to being a fabulous surgeon, Dr. Estrada is extremely personable, shows compassion, and goes the extra mile to educate a patient facing orthopedic issues. His staff are all very friendly and accommodative which is more of an exception than a rule in today's challenging world of medical care. Michael Davis

Dr. Watson at Orthopedic Associates of New Orleans, was spot on. He is personable, and attentive. They are efficient with their time - took xrays often to see my progress. They allowed me to come in a day after my urgent care appointment and dressed me out with a velcro cast.

Orthopedic Associates are the go-to guys for your knee, shoulder and hip problems. OA was recommended to me by a nurse and they are 5 equally capable surgeons who operate out of Touro next door. I had Dr. Lurie, who I would definitely recommend and heard great things about Dr. Estrada and Dr. Watson as well. Bottom line, my doctor did an excellent job with my knee replacement, I felt like everyone was there to help me and did their best work. This is certainly a place that you can rest assured you're in good hands.

This really is a phenomenal doctor's office, and I have NEVER been inclined to label a doctor's office phenomenal. After leaving the emergency room at 4am I was able to walk in here the same day, while Dr. Estrada and his nurse Donna properly fixed my poor broken leg. I am not simply grateful. From the beginning to the end of my first visit, through all the subsequent visits and the mending of my leg, all staff has continually been attentive, pleasant, empathetic and efficient.

I was given exemplary service and attention from Dr. Estrada and his staff. Dr. Estrada himself is an effective listener and took time to tend to me. All these qualities are hard to come by in a doctors office, where I usually feel unheard, rushed, and part of an assembly line. They do what they do well, and I urge anyone to visit if ever in need!
