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.

Caring, sweet and friendly, the doctor was awesome at my visit. The visit itself was highly informative and educational, and not “quick”. Dr. Saketkoo takes her time and is extremely thorough. 5 stars!!

I started seeing Dr. Saketkoo seven years ago for Scleroderma. She was the first physician to treat my condition aggressively enough to restore my quality of life. She is very thorough. She always gives you her undivided attention and time. I've never met a physician more dedicated to her job and patients. She is well worth the wait to see.

I've been a patient of Dr. Lesley Saketkoo since 2014. She always gives me the time and specialized care that my condition requires. She and her staff at Tulane Medical Center have consistently been supportive when it comes to request and/or information that I've needed. I don't live in New Orleans and I drive over an hour for my office visits because I'm thankful that I'm her patient. I have and will always recommend Dr. Lesley Saketkoo to those in need of a good Rheumatologist.

Dr. Saketkoo is thorough and deeply compassionate/passionate about her patients. She's the only Dr. In New Orleans Metro Area that really understands the complexities of sarcoidosis. She goes far and above to treat and educate patients in and out of clinic. She is part of the force behind the best network of Sarc research physicians around the globe And contributes and has accesses the latest research and clinical studies on treatments, which separates her from otherwise typical care in NOLA.
