Waters Donna, MD

I have been going to Dr Waters since I was 13 years old! She has always been an amazing physician and I cannot imagine going to anyone else.
Touro isn’t my favorite location; it’s a little far from my house. However, that is how much I want to keep Dr Waters as my physician.
I would even go to the West Bank if that’s where she moved her practice!

I recently relocated to New Orleans from the West Coast, where I had a great Ob-​Gyn for many years. I had undergone surgery before I moved, and so needed to find an Ob/​Gyn in New Orleans to take over my post-​op care. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find another great doctor.
Was I wrong! Dr. Waters and her staff are wonderful and I *highly* recommend this office!
At first I was worried, because when I called Dr. Waters’ office to book my new patient appointment, they sounded very busy and my appointment was set for FOUR months out (!). Fortunately, I was able to wait.
When I arrived at the office, I «only» had to wait about 10 or 15 minutes past my appointment time, which seems to be the going rate. «Birdy» called me in to take my vitals. She was extremely nice and cheerful, and put me at ease while she did a quick history.
I did not have to wait very long in the room for Dr. Waters to come in – I waited no more than about 10 minutes. I liked her as SOON as she walked in the door! She just had a great bedside manner, and radiated a professional but comforting sense about her.
I had had my out-​of-​state medical records sent to Dr. Waters in advance, and she had them all with her when she walked in. She said she had reviewed all the records, but she wanted to go over them with me, so she could confirm that the two accounts match.
The exam went well and afterward she gave me a list of local doctors she recommends for me to establish my primary care.
The check-​out procedure was very quick and friendly.
After I left her office, I realized that I had forgotten to ask her about one medical issue. I called the office right away and left a message for her. Within a couple of hours, Michelle, Dr. Water’s nurse called me back. She said she had discussed the issue with Dr. Waters and they could refer me for some lab work right away. Michelle was *very* helpful and pleasant on the phone. I was also able to get the tests done the next day, at another facility.
Michelle called me the morning after my lab tests, and she went over all the results with me (plus the results of my exam, which had only been 2 days earlier).
I cannot express HOW happy I am to have found Dr. Waters, Michelle, and Birdy! Their office is wonderful, and I’m glad I have them to track not only my post-​op care, but my primary Ob/​Gyn care, too.
A friend told me that Dr. Waters shares an office with Rebecca Perret, who is also a wonderful Ob/​Gyn.
