Mrs Rhonda is an excellent doctor she cares and listens and makes sure your where you need to be in your recovery. The staff is amazing from the moment you walk in and Mrs Brandy greets you to the nurses in the back. They all show compassion and patience. Working with people in recovery it’s important for us to feel heard and that our doctor and staff actually care. They aren’t just writing prescriptions and pushing you out the door. If your serious about your recovery and want a doctor that is just as serious about it go here.

Making the decision to get help with my mentality was the best one ever! The staff, food and facility were spot on. Thank you for all that you do Pecan Haven.
I participate in the Christmas Project each year and I so look forward to it. I appreciate what each of them do every day and I wish I could do more. Super thankful for this organization and all they do!
My son was sick with fever and we missed an appointment. We called as soon as they opened and let them know and rescheduled. We asked if we could get his mental health meds refilled until our next visit (two weeks later) and they refused. My son was without his mental health medication. Would not recommend if you rely heavily on medicine being filled.

I just got home from surgery today, but i needed to write this asap. I had an exploratory surgery to search for endometriosis. First, my preop nurses were absolutely amazing . They take their time to help you feel comfortable and are overall great at their jobs and great people. I’ve seen handfuls of doctors who have told me im too young to have endometriosis. However, once i came to Ochsner i was taken seriously. Thanks to their compassion and understanding, today i left knowing i was never crazy and i was right. I cried and cried, but those sweet nurses held my hand and let me get it out. Ochsner is my go to. I’ll always forever be grateful in them helping me get answers!
