Elisabeth and Zack at Dr. Viv’s office are so helpful. I was coming from out of town to be with my brother for a procedure and they helped make this happen by working with us on a timeline. They answered all of my questions, followed up in a timely manner, and was almost always there when I called with questions (returned all of my phone calls promptly). The reason I mention this is because it can sometimes be frustrating dealing with doctor offices because they don’t follow up like they should. During such a stressful time, it was so comforting knowing that I didn’t have to stress about this.
I was able to speak with Dr. Viv about my brother’s care before the procedure because I had questions. How rare is this that the actual doctor will return a call if requested by the patient to answer patient questions? This is a testament to the type of care this office provides and it shows that Dr. Viv genuinely cares about his patients. I also work in the medical field and although I know this quality of care should be standard, it isn’t unfortunately because of time and resource limitations for physicians. It was so reassuring to know my brother was in good hands. Thanks Nola Gastro!!!

Commented on my nail polish which I thought was rude. Then when I asked if my problem would be fixed during the colonoscopy (that he kept pushing for) his nurse told me that if it indeed was a certain problem that I would have to be referred out to another doctor. Waste of a copay. Would not recommend. Went to see Dr. Lilly for a second opinion. He was great. Solved my problem no colonoscopy needed.

I highly recommend Dr. Huigol. It was very easy to make an appointment. His nurse helped expedite my visit by sending me a link where I could fill out my medical history online and she made sure it was ready for the doctor when I got there.
Dr. Huilgol was very personable, professional and thorough. It is rare to find a doctor these days that actually spends time listening to you and making sure they get a full picture of your issue but examining you and making recommendations for treatment.
He didn’t push prescription drugs on me which I find is often the case with other doctors and I was happy about that.
Follow up was thorough and made easy through there online system. I was able to see my blood test results as they came in and ask questions. All my questions were answered within 24hrs.
If you need a gesture Dr. in New Orleans Dr. Huigol should be your first go to.
