Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly recommended!
Recommended, recommended, recommended! I cannot say enough good things about Dr Isaza and his entire staff. From the first time I saw him and we discussed the status of my spine/vertebrae, he always spoke of putting off surgery until it was absolutely necessary. I went through a nerve block, nerve burn, epidural, and all were temporary treatments. Finally, we decided together that a spinal fusion was necessary. Everything went as expected. Dr Isaza and his staff were/are amazing. I am still recovering from the surgery, but even the recovery is going better than expected. I have a family member and a friend who are patients of Dr Isaza and both provide glowing recommendations. When I saw my PCP for a pre-surgery clearance, he asked who my surgeon was. When I told him it was Doctor Isaza, he said "oh, he's the bomb. You are in great hands." If you have spine issues, THIS is the doctor to see!!

Very knowledgeable but not a big fan.
I have seen him multiple times and I just feel like he he didn't care what I or anyone had to say. He had his mind set. After working with the physical therapist that he recommended, he did not trust what he had to say. He sent me to take all kinds of test which all came back negative. I understand he was trying to rule things out, but I just didn't like the way he went about it. I really liked Clint, his PA He spent time to sit and talk and explain everything. He answered all my questions. Dr. Isaza would come in ask some questions and leave. Every time I went for an appointment I left feeling like I had wasted my time and money. I just received a message about my follow up appointment and I cancelled it. I do not see any reason to go back and still not get any answers.

First office visit with Dr. Jorge Isaza
I had the distinct pleasure of an appointment with Dr. Isaza upon a recommendation from my orthopedic doctor of many years. Everyone from the receptionist, assistants and Dr. Isaza himself were polite, courteous and thoroughly professional. This was an unexpected necessity due to a acute and painful condition that developed suddenly. Dr. Isaza examined me and reviewed the MRI video disc that my primary Orthopedic doctor both electronically forwarded to him as well as a copy of the disc I brought with me. The reassurance of the opinion and information I received was factual and to the point. This appointment prepared me with full knowledge of what I was confronting and the steps that would be necessary to addressing the problem. I would highly recommend that anyone with a spinal situation that desires the best care to contact Dr. Isaza for his opinion and advice.

The best spine surgeon in Louisiana. He operated on me and also on my husband. We had a herniated disc and he did a minimally invasive disc surgery that got us both back to work in days. His staff is extremely professional and attentive. You don’t have to wait weeks for an appointment because they fit you in quickly when you need to be seen. They are an amazing team starting from the doctor on down! Recommend him 300%!!!!

I thank God for Dr. Isaza. He performed my SI joint fusion surgery. It's been 7 days, and other than the typical pain from surgery, my SI joints do not hurt!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Isaza for years and was recommended by Dr. Bryan Giffith. Dr. Griffith said if he had to have someone cut on his back it would most definitely be Dr. Isasa. I saw him and was very happy he did not try to rush me into surgery but tried other alternatives first. Even after that he did not rush me into agreeing to surgery he said it was my decision. I have never looked back. It was wonderful to be pain free!

Dr. Isaza has the most caring staff that I have ever had the pleasure dealing with. They truly care for you as an individual. He guided me through the treatment process and figurative held my hand even when he sent me to a different doctor for pain management. As a surgeon I thought he would be quick to want to operate on my problems but he tried every avenue to alleviate the pain before he suggested surgery. I appreciated that thoroughness. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Isaza and his staff.
